I've raised £100 to support Gateshead Young Carers by running the Great North Run in September . As they have supported my daughter since she was 8 years old

Organised by Chris Dodgson
Currently their are 780 young carers being supported by Gateshead Young carers, these young people help their families with day to day living as well as providing emotional support to their families. unfortunately due to funding cuts this service is in need of donations as being a young carer can be very challenging at times, some young carers sometimes feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope. My daughter is young carer for members of her family and i have seen how much this service has helped her achieve her dreams of attending university as well as achieving her dream job.
