Thanks very much for looking at my JustGiving page.

I'm raising money for Carers UK along with a team of colleagues from Coutts and all of us are spending a March weekend walking, running, cycling or even canoeing in the Lake District.

I've chosen to run the 14 miles around Coniston Water and it's my first half-marathon. There's nothing quite like the thought of a 3 mile uphill start to really incentivise early morning incline training sessions! 

Hearing about the fantastic work Carers UK does has really touched me. It's a wonderful charity which supports the very many people who pour so much time and energy into caring for their loved ones without even a second thought for themselves. Every day, 6000 people in the UK become carers, so it's really important they get the support and advice they need right from the start.

Between us, we're aiming to raise a total of £28,000, but even the smallest of donations can make a tremendous difference.
