Why take part in I May Move?

“I took part in I May Move because I wanted an incentive to get back to exercise and I knew that having sponsorship would keep me motivated.

I decided to walk everyday in May, that way, I could get outside and had my parents join me for some of the walks. It was a challenge on my busier days, but even a walk around the block counted.

I enjoyed the challenge and raised money for a fantastic charity and that's what really counts.”

What difference does fundraising for Age UK Wakefield District make?

“When you feel lonely, every day is the same. It doesn’t matter if it’s Monday or the weekend, it’s just another day to get through. When Age UK Wakefield District suggested I could have a visit from a Befriender, I thought I had nothing to lose so why not give it a go?

Meeting Matt has changed my life, I have something to look forward to, someone to laugh with and it’s grown my confidence to out and about more too. I never expected I could feel like this again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who fundraises to support Befriending.”
