Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This year we have decided to take part in no less than 3 challenges to raise money for the Carers Trust!

September will see us completing our first challenge which is to cycle from Malin Head, the northern most point of Ireland, to Mizen Head, the southern most point, covering a distance of 425 miles in 7 days.

Then in October we are running 10k in the Great Scottish Run in Glasgow before finally, in November taking on our last challenge, cycling in Peru from Machu Picchu to the Amazon over 5 days.

We are doing all of these challenges to raise money for the Carers Trust supporting Young Carers from as young as 5 years old. We are covering the cost of the travel, accommodation etc. ourselves so that all the money we raise will go to the charity.

The Carers Trust supports more young carers than any other organisation in the UK. Through it's unique network of 107 young carers' services and interactive websites, the Trust currently provides quality information, advice and support services to 24,500 young carers.

Young Carers’ Services

• help to find other sources of support so that fewer families rely on a child for care;
• run clubs, activities and holidays that give young carers a break and time to be children;
• give one-to-one support and mentoring in schools so that young carers can enjoy tasks and achieve;
• educate and train teachers, doctors, youth workers and social workers to recognise the signs of a hidden caring role, offer a carer-friendly response and access specialist help.
