Across the UK, 5.8 million unpaid carers support loved ones who are older, disabled, or seriously ill. Carers UK provides essential advice, information, and support while campaigning to transform understanding and win critical developments in carers’ rights.

Story

<p>I'm sure you'll agree that Carers are high on the list of unsung heroes in Society today. Caring for a loved one, be it a member of your own family, a friend or anyone else, is a daunting yet essential role.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>However, take the time to think about the lives that carers themselves live. From young children to the elderly, carers work unpaid and give so much to society. As a result they often experience ill health, poverty and discrimination.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Mark and Robert feel it is essential that carers receive the recognition, support and Thank You's that they truly deserve. Every penny raised will go CarersUK. (http://www.carersuk.org/Home).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This Father &amp; Son team will be taking a week-long journey across Europe from France to Prague in a twenty-year-old car. The trip will start on September 3rd and the team are due to arrive in Prague on September 10th.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please, dig deep and give what you can; let's make it possible for Carers in the UK to have a slightly easier life, which they themselves donate every part of their lives doing for others.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Huge thanks,</p> <p>Mark, Robert, and most importantly, all Carers nationwide.</p>
