Story

Hi as many know cos I never stop going on about it🤣 I like to run marathons and this year I am running the Edinburgh for a very worthwhile cause that is age Scotland. Here are a few of the reasons why I think this is a very worthwhile charity to support.

Every three minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia - it's one of the biggest health challenges of our time. Families affected are often left feeling exhausted and overwhelmed and don’t know where to turn. But with the support of age Scotland families facing the fear and confusion of dementia know they’re not alone.

Most people will feel lonely at some point in their lives. 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. Donating to this page will help the national Age UK to continue providing vital services that offer companionship, advice and support for older people facing later life alone.

By donating today, you could help answer more calls to advice lines, campaign harder for older people’s rights and fair treatment and provide regular friendship calls to people who are desperately lonely.

So come on let’s do something nice cos let’s face it none of us are getting any younger..🤭🤭😛
