Age UK Solihull Runners

Richard Patton-Devine and James Barron completed the Run Solihull half marathon, raising £434 between them. Our friends Alison Rolf and Jane Lewis also took part in the event, wearing Age UK Solihull vetsts to show their support and raise awareness.

A group of Solihull mums completed the Knowle Fun Run in aid of Age UK Solihull, dressed as grannies. They raised almost £1,000 between them, and deservedly also won the award for the best fancy dress.

Also completing the run was supporter, Manish Kumar, who took on the 10k race and raised £158 to help us support older and vulnerable people in the Solihull borough.

After being cancelled in 2020 and 2021, the Great Birmingham Run returned in 2022, and three runners took part in aid of Age UK Solihull.

Age UK Solihull volunteer, Nick Salter, ran the half marathon for us for the second time, raising £220.

Two Sydney Mitchell colleagues, Shilpa Unarkat and Angie Davis, also completed the run, raising £270 and £85, respectively.

Well done and thank you to the three runners!
