Edinburgh Marathon 2010 · 23 May 2010 ·

There are more than 6m unpaid carers in the UK supporting family and friends. Carers can often experience feelings of isolation, stress and financial worries which can affect their own health. Through its national network, Crossroads Care helps carers make a life of their own outside caring.

Story

Wow, that was warm! Scotland had its highest May temperature since records began yesterday and it was humid too.  The first half went well but the heat caught up with me after that and cramps forced me to stop several times.  Boy, was I glad to reach the finish line! A PW of 3 hours 57.  But still a great experience. 

Thanks to all those who've sponsored me - and if you haven't yet, it's not too late.

This year I'm raising funds for Crossroads.  This is a network of local charities that support carers. They work with over 35,000 individuals and their families, helping carers to make a life of their own outside caring, whether they simply need a break or more regular support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks,

Nigel
