Jennifer's Lap the Lake Challenge
Jennifer Smith is raising money for Living Streets
Story
Why lap the lake?
I will be walking as many laps of Manvers Lake as I can on Sunday 20th March to raise money for Living Streets' Lap the Lake.
Every day Living Streets works with older people who feel isolated in their community and find it difficult to get out and about to local shops, doctors and community centres.
For seven years Living Streets has been working with people in South Yorkshire to make small changes that make a big difference. Installing a dropped kerb here, and a handrail or bench there, means that people like Janet have their independence back."The new dropped kerbs will make a big difference to me and a lot of other residents as we walk that route almost every day. These improvements have made the walk to the doctor’s surgery and the shops safer and more comfortable.
"Walking is really important to me as it means that I can maintain my independence. It makes me feel good that I can still do it."
