Those of us who care for a loved one do it for precisely that reason: love. But it can be tough. Sometimes it feels like the system that's meant to help you is actually a hinderance. Juggling work and caring responsibilities can be a nightmare. Finding out what support is available is often more difficult than it should be.

Last year I was proud to become a Trustee of Carers UK, and this year I'm happy to be participating in an event and raising money for the charity.

Running has been a huge positive force in helping me to maintain my mental health. My 'PB' for a half marathon is two hours and three minutes. My challenge is to try and break two hours in 2025.

I know I'm frequently 'demanding' money from you. But you know you love me really....
