Story

Having missed doing the Beachy Head Marathon in October due to a cold I didn't  want my training to go to waste. I saw the Age UK Run Your Age campaign and thought, at 66 years of age, a challenge for me might be to run a minimum of 6.6 miles every day of January 2022, (effectively a 1/4 of a marathon every day of January),  giving me a grand total of 205 miles for the month.

I am taking part in Run Your Age to raise funds to help Age UK give the support to older people that they need. Please donate to my page and the funds will have help with Age UK's mission to ensure that every older person has someone to turn to, whether that is answering calls to our advice line, campaigning harder for older peoples rights and fair treatment or providing regular friendship calls to people who are desperately lonely.
