Gary's fundraiser for Families Supporting Care

Gary Cooper is raising money for Families Supporting Care

Gymrace · 5 September 2026

In 2011 friends of Woodlands and Hill Brow set up the registered charity Families Supporting Care. The aim of the charity is to help support residents whose funds diminish during their stay alongside providing additional relief as required. Over the last 10 years the charity has helped over 60 residents stay in their chosen care home. The charity is independently managed by the trustees, all of whom have experienced a loved one in care and can often be seen volunteering around the homes. Funds are generally raised through a number of social events held throughout the year. The charity also receives individual donations from relatives and residents which help the charity fulfil its aim. Your donation today helps the charity provide ongoing support to those in need. Thank you

Story

As new Trustee for Families Supporting Care I am taking on Gymrace as a solo entry.

I did this event back in March 2026 as a paired event, however, on 5th September 2026 I am taking on this endurance event as an individual with and aim to complete it in under an hour and hopefully finish in the top 10.

On a personal note I’m taking on this challenge to help raise awareness of this great charity and helping residents stay in the care homes that have become their homes.

Many thanks
