My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In September I was supposed to be running the Great North Run for Carers UK!  Unfortunately, Christine was extremely poorly on the morning of the race and despite her brave attempts to make it to the start, we eventually, somewhat reluctantly, turned the car around half way to Newcastle yesterday.  I appreciate alot of people have sponsored us, so we are going to be running the Great Cumbrian Run on the 25th October as a kind of replacement race!

Many carers give up their careers, their homes, their whole lives, in order to care for a loved one. They do this with little practical help or financial support and as a result, many are forced to live in poverty and poor health. The Government rewards them with only £50 to live on each week. Carers UK thinks this needs to change and are campaigning for a better deal for carers in the future, and informing carers about their rights and where they can go to get support now. It’s such an important cause and every donation is really appreciated, no matter how small.

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.
