Sarah's campaign for Age UK Richmond upon Thames

My grandparents lived in Richmond, I grew up down the road in Kingston Upon Thames. Richmond is a beautiful place to love and work,.

I work for the local property newspaper MOVETO Richmond, we also produce GUIDE TO Richmond & Kingston, the local What's on guide www.moveto.co.uk

Although a wealthy borough there are older and vulnerable residents in Richmond who suffer, this older generation gave us so much - and I wish to raise awareness and funds for the good works that Age UK Richmond do for Richmond Borough Elders.

So I am in training for the Richmond 10k Run through Kew Gardens in September, I am aiming for a time of 60 minutes or just under - and over the next three months am going to try different fitness classes across the borough of Richmond to include Ninja Cycling, Yoga, Aqua Aerobics, Swimming and Nordic Walking in Richmond, will be posting up my progress.

Want to join me in making a difference? Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
