Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. On Sunday, 6 October 2024, I will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon, aiming to set a new personal best time of under 1:36:49. I’m doing this to support Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale, a local charity I volunteer for and who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.

Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale has spent half a century helping vulnerable and isolated older people in our community. Their mission is to create a society where older people are respected and supported to meet their aspirations. They offer essential services such as shopping, transport, befriending, and practical help, which are crucial for older people to remain independent in their homes. They also provide information and advice, benefit checks, care home advocacy, toenail cutting, and support during hospital discharges, among other services.

As a volunteer for Age Connects, I provide befriending services, offering companionship and support to older people who may otherwise feel isolated. I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact this charity has on our community. I’ve always been keen to support older people in our society where sadly they don't get the respect and help they deserve and need.
