Lisa Barnard, 39 Ipswich First time runner Lisa said "My husband had run the Virgin London Marathon before so I felt particularly inspired to take part in the 2013 race, particularly as I'm going to turn 40 and it's a great way to remember it. But what has really driven me to run the 26.2 mile challenge is my Nan who passed away last year at the amazing year of 98. Although she had lots of support from her family to enable her to stay independent, there are many older people who are not as lucky and are feeling lonely and isolated, which saddens me a lot. Old age comes to us all and I believe that older people should be treated with dignity. I'm really passionate about raising money for Age UK and YouthNet to help them with their vital work for those less fortunate than my Nan." Age UK & YouthNet Rusty Wright, 71, Jo Rodger, 43 Shipley, West Yorkshire Rusty and her daughter Jo will be running their first Virgin London Marathon together, Rusty said: " My daughter's a regular runner and we've been training together for the past few years. She's the one that really inspired me to take up the sport. As I'm 72 this year I really wanted to be a part of 'Team Run for It', Age UK and YouthNet's Marathon Team, to show how important it is to stay active as you get older. I'm delighted to be completing the event with my daughter beside me to show our support for the cause together and I can't wait to share this special day with her. In the lead up to the race we will train by completing many running events including Age UK's Leeds Abbey Dash and we'll be raising lots of funds by performing in my celeidh band and ukelele orchestra and with the support of Jo's social club. We can't wait for race day." Age UK & YouthNet 2
Tom Harrison, 76 Reading Tom, 76, who was recently awarded Reading Sports Personality’s ‘Helper Loyalty Award’ said: “I started running Marathons in 2004 - I was getting older and wanted to fundraise for charity that really resonated with that. Staying active in older age is really important to me and I wanted to show my support for a charity that does so much to make later life better for vulnerable older people. This year I’m aiming to beat my average time of 4 Age UK & hours and 26 minutes and the event will be one of a series of races which YouthNet will cover 77 miles to celebrate my 77th birthday in July so it’s going to be one of my many challenges this year!” Rachael Brown, 23, Terene Stevens, 41, and Simon Purcell- Jackson, 39, Derby First time marathon runner Rachael will be starting and completing the 26.2 mile challenge with Terene and Simon beside her. She said: “My Nanna had a major stroke in June 2011, she is slowly recovering but still needs 24 hour care. We didn’t know who to turn to and Age UK provided us with the support we needed so we could get the help Nanna deserved. It has been a difficult year but Age UK has given us hope. “We feel so passionate about raising money for the charity so myself, my Aunty Terene and my cousin’s husband Simon have teamed up to complete the Virgin London Marathon to give something back and support a charity that has supported my Nanna. To raise funds we’ve already organised a Bollywood Ball at a local restaurant which included an auction with prizes that local businesses donated and with 120 people attending we raised £2,000. I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved already and can’t wait for race day to complete the challenge with my family to support me!” Age UK & YouthNet 3
