respecting our elders

The camper purchase has been shelved for now on the basis that, as it is now practically Autumn, the weather is just going to get worse and worse and we have nowhere sheltered to store an aging and vulnerable campervan. Better still, if we wait until spring to buy one, we can save more money to buy a nice one. That's if we don't win one from Rosie's Rainbow Fund who are raffling a gorgeous 1971 bay window van.

Speaking of charity and concern for the elderly and vulnerable during the winter months, I have entered the Leeds Abbey Dash, a 10k run taking place on 17th November 2013. I'm running for Age UK to raise money for older people in Leeds and around the UK, as I fear that rather than being respected and valued, the elderly are often one of the forgotten segments of our society.

As I am by no means even a beginner runner (I can run for about 12 minutes on a treadmill before I need a sit down), this could prove interesting, and therefore is surely worth a sponsor, if only for the entertainment of knowing that the more money raised the more I actually have to  do this. Seriously, please do sponsor me on my justgiving page. It is a fantastic cause, and one I really do feel quite strongly about.
