Dig deep.........I am taking part in The Artmeis Great Kindrochit Quadratholon in July. As you all know I am an elite athlete and as such this will be no trouble....yeah right!!! Kicking off with a swim across Loch Tay, then 2500 metres of vertical ascent over 7 hills, followed by an 8 mile kayak and a quick cycle round Loch Tay...shouldn't take me more than about 12 hours! So hands in pockets please. Honeypot is a great charity and really provides for vulnerable children and young carers aged between 5 and 12, across the UK, through respite breaks and a programme of long term support. Without Honeypot, these children simply would not have the chance to have a break away from the difficulties of their home lives. Check out http://youtube.com/watch?v=vkjss7TVYEs. You Tube - Amy's Story. Consider an 11 year old as the primary carer for her eplieptic mother. Mum fits 10 plus times a day, they live in a 1 bedroom flat in a tower block. Definitely struck a chord with me when I watched this Honeypot link. There are 175,000 registered Young Carers in the UK and thousands more hidden. This year, Honeypot will help over 1,000 children to have a chance at childhood again. Please help me help them. Paul
