Feel Alive from 65
At the age of 79 years, Jill Perry started running having done no physical activity since leaving school in 1949. Since then she has developed a passion for physical activity, trains five times a week and is a regular Parkrun participant with an impressive personal best of 38 minutes. "I did my first Parkrun two years ago, was hooked and have now notched up 68 runs! I just love the feeling of wellbeing that follows and have made so many new friends there." Jill Perry, recipient of the Physical Activity Award, Feel Alive From 65 Celebration
