Are you looking for a reason to get out and enjoy the improving weather, or escape the workingfrom home life and recharge your batteries?
Well look no further!
Local older people's charity AgeUK Lancashire are encouraging people to get out and walk, jog or cycle all for a good cause.
'35 Miles that Matter' is a new fundraising initiative where individuals and families can sign up andpledge to exercise for 35 miles in March; the 35 miles represents the 35,000 lonely older people living in Lancashire.
Loneliness has anegative impact on a person’s physical and mental health so the charity is working hard to raiseawareness and funds to enable them to reach these vulnerable people and improve their lives.
David Ward from Age UK Lancashire told QLocal: "It's been a tough year and we feel that everyone is feelingthe fatigue from long periods of lockdown and isolation.
"That is why we are encouraging everyoneof any ability to get active and improve their own mental and physical health at the same time ashelping our cause".
Signing up couldn't be easier, simply visit www.ageuklancs.org.uk and follow the 35 Miles thatMatter links. There is no minimum fundraising amount so whether it is £10 or £100 the importantthing is to get active and play your part.
He added: "We really rely on the support from local people and businesses to help ussupport the older population of our county, many of which are vulnerable and isolated. Whateverdonations people can raise will really help and all of the money stays right here in Lancashire todirectly support our services".
So, what are you waiting for? Get motivated, sign up and get active!
