My Story
Thank you so much for visiting my donation page.
I ran as part of Team u3a in The Great North Run and completed it on Sunday September 8th.
I am raising money for The Third Age Trust, the organization which supports around 1,000 u3as across the UK. u3a believes that learning can be life-changing. When members join u3a, they become part of a community – and through sharing their interests, they create new friendships.
The money I am helping to raise will go towards creating more learning and social opportunities for u3a members. It will help The Third Age Trust support existing u3as and facilitate the creation of new u3as in areas where they do not currently exist – ensuring that everyone has access to a u3a. Together, we can reduce loneliness.
I am a member of Wokingam u3a which is a fantastic group of people with diverse interests and knowledge. There is something for everyone. I am a member of a lot of the sports groups. If there isn't a group for what interests you - start one... that's what I did! I started a running group and we have weekly runs around our local country park - Dinton Pastures - which is also the home of my local parkrun. We run up to 5K for all abilities with the aim of having fun whilst at the same time having a positive impact on our physical and mental health.
I was proud to run the Great North Run on behalf of Wokingham u3a and raise funds for the Third Age Trust.
Join me for a run in Wokingham!
Thanks for reading my story and for donating to this fantastic charity.
All the best,
Ashley
