My Story

In 2026, I’m taking on the London Marathon dressed as a Giant Blue Telephone to raise money for Age UK!

Every day in my job at Age UK, I see the transformative power of a simple phone call. For many older people, it is more than just a call - it's a lifeline. They bring comfort, laughter, connection, and hope to those who may otherwise feel forgotten or alone.

I’m running in honour of my grandma, and in memory of my late grandfather-in-law, who have both benefitted from the fantastic national telephone services we provide.

Age UK can only continue this work with your support. Every donation helps us reach more older people with friendship, advice, and support.

Thank you,

Adam (Winky)
