Hello!
Firstly thank you for reading my page.
I'm sure you are wondering why i have decided to put myself through 26.2 miles of pain? ( i am genuinely scared!!)
AGE UK a Charity that not many people have heard of so its time to raise awareness and money for a great cause.
I don't know if anyone has seen the Youtube video of Sue Perkins who spent 30 hours in Isolation to raise awareness. ( please see the video below) This gives you more of an insight of how bad loneliness can be.

Most people will feel lonely at some point in their lives. It’s a deeply personal experience that - in most cases - will thankfully pass. Sadly, 2.65m older people feel they have no one to turn to for help and around 3.9m older people consider TV to be their main form of company. Donating to this page will help the national Age UK to continue providing vital services that offer companionship, advice and support for older people facing later life alone.
Age UK works tirelessly to ensure that this important and growing segment of society is not overlooked, underrepresented or excluded. The money you donate helps us create a world in which older people are not ignored but flourish.
How will your donations help?
£5 could help us take a call from an older person who needs our support
£10 could help us pay for a regular,
friendly visit to an older person who’s feeling cut-off and alone
£40
could pay for a month
of regular befriending calls for a desperately lonely older person.
Thank you so all so much in advance for your donations.
