Stepping Up for a Cause: Help Us Bring Joy to the Lonely and Elderly

This September, we’re lacing up our trainers, embracing the challenge, and taking part in the Big Half—all in support of Evergreen Care UK. While the race itself is no small feat (especially for two novice runners like us!), the cause we’re running for makes every mile worthwhile.

Why We’re Running

Evergreen Care UK is dedicated to bringing peace of mind and happiness to elderly individuals who may be facing loneliness. This year, we want to do something special—something that creates lasting, joyful memories. All the funds we raise will go directly towards organising a very special trip to the coast for older folk and their Befrienders.

Picture this: a refreshing sea breeze, the sound of waves, the laughter of friends old and new, and the simple delight of a shared ice cream. For many, moments like these are rare treasures. With your help, we can make it happen.

How Your Support Will Help

Your sponsorship will cover:

• Coach travel to and from the coast

• Refreshments and entertainment for the journey

• If we raise enough, ice creams for everyone—because no seaside trip is complete without one!

This trip is more than just a day out. It’s a chance for people to connect, enjoy nature, and create warm, lasting memories together.

The Challenge Ahead

We’ll be the first to admit—we’re not seasoned athletes. Running a half marathon is going to push us out of our comfort zone, but that’s the point. We want to match the effort our wonderful community makes every day to care for and support the elderly. Every step we take will be in honour of them.
