Help Mel to help other older people stay well, independent, and connected!
Melrose Stewart (Fraser)
My Story
On Sunday 3rd May 2026, aged 72, I’ll be running the Great Birmingham Run to raise funds for Age UK Birmingham and Age UK Sandwell.
I’m passionate about supporting healthy ageing and challenging stereotypes around later life. While many older people are thriving, too many struggle with isolation, reduced mobility, and everyday independence.
Running in my seventies isn’t easy — but staying comfortable achieves nothing. Previous races raised vital funds and brought incredible community support. I want to do that again.
Please consider donating to help older people stay well, independent, and connected.
Thank you for your support.
