Story

As part of my company, Omnicom Media Group UK, I am taking part in a virtual marathon for Age UK. 

Age UK are seeing unprecedented demand for their services and expect this to continue to grow over the coming weeks and months. 

I am committing to covering a marathon distance over the next month (however will personally aim to complete within a week to add a bit of spice to proceedings). My colleagues and I will be doing this by running, walking and / or taking part in a range of other exercises that can be done in our homes. Together, we hope to raise over £50k for Age UK and help support the older people at this difficult time. 

- £10 could enable a local Age UK to deliver services within communities such as a food parcel to an isolated older person.

- £15 could pay to answer three calls to our advice line from vulnerable older people needing information and support on how to cope during this crisis. 

- £20 could pay for two weekly befriending calls to self-isolated older people who have no one to turn to.

By donating to Age UK, you will help to reach the older people that need them most.

Please support me and help raise money for an incredible cause!
