I'm doing Edinburgh Leisure's Movement for Good Challenge to get activy every day in May.
I'm raising money for their Active Communities Programme, which uses physical activity to support over 10,000 people affected by health conditions, disabilities, inequalities and poverty to improve their quality of life.
They help people like 81 year old Mary who has arthritis and pain in her knees. Living on her own Mary struggles to keep active and often feels lonely. Mary got in touch with Active Communities to join their low-level walks.
Mary now meets a group of friendly volunteers and participants each week for some gentle exercise and a blether. Her walks gives her a real sense of accomplishment and sets her up for the week ahead! Her spirits have lifted and she is now in regular contact with new friends. Regular walking has helped her manage her arthritis.
Please help me support people like Mary through Edinburgh Leisure's Active Communities programme by donating now.
