Edinburgh Marathon Festival 10K 2019 · 25 May 2019 to 26 May 2019 ·

Dean & Cauvin provide a range of supports to young people making the transition from being looked after and accommodated, to living independently in the community. We provide supported residential placements and single supported tenancies to young people between the ages of 15 and 21 years and offer a ‘Continuum of Care’ based on early intervention and relationship building to young people through our dedicated Through-Care and Aftercare Service. Our residential service also provides accommodation to young mums and their children, offering parenting support and assessment, with a community base care and support package provided at the end of the residential placement. Dean & Cauvin also run Room4U, a fostering service providing high quality full time and short break foster placements for teenagers and young parents and babies accommodated by local authorities in Scotland. Our foster carers provide skilled care and support to the young people so that placements last as long as needed and benefit the young people and babies concerned.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This started as a throwaway comment made by Kevin, that we should run a half marathon after I mentioned I had been on a treadmill for 20 minutes back in November....even with me being as stupid as I am, I knew I wouldn't manage a half marathon but suggested we do a 10k for charity and see how that goes? 

Now anyone that knows me, will be aware that running to the fridge was about the furthest I have ran in years.  So training has started and it's fair to say my body is wondering what the hell is going on 😁 We then roped in the young team of Sean, David and Ross because Kevin didn't fancy having to carry me round himself after I breakdown at 1k. 

So please give generously to make their sacrifice of helping me round worthwhile!!!
