Bath Half Marathon 2012 · 11 March 2012 ·

Young carers are children aged up to 18 who have caring responsibilities in their home. The person being cared for may have a physical or mental illness, a terminal illness, or have problems with alcohol or drug misuse. Help us give these young people a break from their challenging daily routines.

Iona, Polly, Alice and Ellie are running the Bath Half 2012!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">On March 11, we will be running 13 miles for Bath Friends of Young Carers. Considering that none of us willingly used to run anywhere, this is quite a challenge and yet it is nothing in comparison to the challenges faced by young carers every day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #333333;">Friends Of Young Carers, is a Bath based charity aiming to help children aged 5 - 18 from any ethnic or social background who have caring responsibilities in their home. Caring can mean anything, from cooking, cleaning, shopping, providing nursing and personal care, to giving emotional support. Children from as young as the age of 10 are caring for family members who are sick, disabled or have mental health problems or, are misusing drugs or alcohol. These every day heroes ask for very little and this is our chance to give something back.</span><br style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #333333;">All the money raised will go to helping to provide respite to these young carers whether it be a small gift at Christmas or the opportunity to work with Bath Abbey musicians.</span> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">It's for a great cause and we'd be really grateful if you could donate as much as you can! There is a strong possibility that we will be crawling over the finish line, but we will finish.</span></p>
