June 15th each year is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. An opportunity to raise awareness of this often hidden issue. So I decided to do 'couch to 5K' to mark the day (it will take up to 9 weeks to complete). Every year, more than a million older people are physically, emotionally, financially or sexually abused in the UK. At Hourglass, the mission is simple, no older person should be harmed or abused. Your donations help fund their vital services including their freephone Helpline, community and peer support groups, professional training, awareness raising and campaigning - to support all victims, prevent elder abuse, and improve services across the UK that support older people. Please donate if you can to this often overlooked issue.
