Event: Oxford Half Marathon 2021, on 17 October 2021
This October 17th we are lucky to have a small team running on our behalf in the Oxford Half Marathon. They are running just over 21 km (13.1 mi.) to raise funds for unpaid Carers. Please sponsor them and/or come along to show your support!

Story

Ellie and Bob have two children, Sally and Jamie. Sally has severe autism and needs their constant care. Jamie loves her sister but sometimes it can feel like she is sidelined and there is no time for her. Crossroads have provided a trained care worker just once a week to care for Sally so Ellie and Bob can spend a few hours devoted to Jamie. The family are all supported by this care and it has made all the difference. Donating to Crossroads could help Carers of all ages to have time for themselves (all names have been changed).

About the charity

In life many of us will care for a family member or friend for extended periods of time. These can be stressful and difficult times. Crossroads supports people in Oxfordshire and West Berkshire to perform this role. We help with support groups, training, respite care and even give people holidays.
