Hello. My name is susie and I have been lucky enough to get a place in the 2021 London Marathon! My 3rd time running. 

When I choose a charity to run for I like to pick the smaller ones  that need the most help and unfortunately   won’t have many (if any) runners.

This year I have decided to run for the Diamond Kite Foundation.

The Diamond Kite foundation provides YOUNG carers support and respite through the experience of a once in a lifetime holiday.

- Currently in the UK alone there is 800,000 Young carers ages 5-17 years old that care for a adult or family members. 

- 1/3 of young cares reported having a mental health problem. 

- 27% of the young carers ages 11-15 miss or have difficulties at school due to their caring responsibilities.

(Sats from the children’s society 2021)  

This makes me so sad. The diamond Kite Foundation takes young carers on a once in a life time holiday and helps remind these young people that they are also Children not just carers! 

Please help support them especially after the year we’ve had where mental health in children is going up at an alarming rate. Let's help Kids be Kids!
