Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I decided I wanted to try something out of my comfort zone so instead of trying a 5k run like most people do, I had a mad 5 minutes and signed myself up for a Triathlon! The training is killing me, so far I have pulled ligaments in my knee and strained muscles in my shoulder, however it will hopefully all be worth it if I make my target for my chosen charity!
A year ago, through work I was introduced to Age UK Enfield and more importantly there Active Life Club. Here I met Jenny, who volunteers her time every Friday along with 3 other ladies to provide a keep fit class, lunch, games and entertainment. Most importantly they offer human contact for upto 60 vulnerable elderly Enfield residents. Some of whom have no family or friends and don't speak to anyone from one week to the next had it not been for this group. Jenny arranges prescriptions for them, sorts out their bills and if one of them doesn't show up without prior notice she makes sure they are ok.
This centre has just had it's funding cancelled and only has enough money to keep them going until November, after this there will be no Active Life Club for these 60 amazing people to go. Therefore I am trying to raise as much as I can so we can keep it going for as long as possible!
