Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going to run the Frome 5k this Sunday in the late morning sunshine, alongside my wife (I am not up to the longer distances yet, but hopefully next year we will do the 10k and go from there), and we thought it would be fun. In this heat and with a bit of bad back (I am getting my excuses in early), it now looks like a bit of a challenge! 

I chose Carers UK as I was once a carer (with my Mum) for my late father who became ill in the early 1990s and eventually needed 24/7 care at home, after having seevre arthritis most of his life (although he managed to have a good and active life up until then). I remember that support and time off for carers can really help the person being looked after, as it helps the whole family cope better. This is my first charity run in 25 years, and I wanted to raise money for a perhaps unsung group of heroes.
