Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We're all getting older, and I thought that on a personal level this was a great way to raise money for a fantastic charity that helps so many older people, as well as an incentive to get fit. After all, I ran the New York marathon in 1989, haven't done any real exercise in the last 25 years, but thought - how hard can it be to run 13 miles around the streets of Cardiff!

Also, on a work level, I'm part of the Choice project at Aberystwyth University. The project is concerned with helping to raise awareness about domestic abuse, where the victim is an older person aged over 60, living in their own home. We're also going to be working closely with social services and third-sector organisations like Age Cymru, in two areas of Wales - Cardiff and Carmarthenshire. That seemed like another good reason to support Age Cymru in this way.
