Story

Never entered a formal running event, and not sure if I've run as far as this in one go! Bit of a challenge, and hoping to raise awareness and generate a few donations for Crossroads along the way.

Crossroads help out unpaid carers by providing trained care, free from cost to the family, ideally for a few hours once a week. Unpaid carers are usually family members of those who need care, and the support Crossroads gives can provide a much needed opportunity for these folks to have a bit of time to themselves. Time for activities that most of us usually take for granted, which can make a huge difference to the wellbeing of these folks.

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.
