Story
Most people will feel lonely at some point in their lives. And during the past 18 months I guarantee some of you reading this now have felt the same. Or have had parents, grandparents, other loved ones that you haven't been able to see, or give a warm cuddle to, who have been on their own. 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. But Age UK can help change that! On 17th September I will be taking part in a 5K Colour Run to raise money for this charity and there is no time more key than now to let people know there is someone out there who cares. All I'm asking is that you give as little/much as you can do to this cause and support me and support our precious elderly generation. Life's too short to be lonely.
