Michelle's fundraiser for Fife Young Carers

Michelle Erskine is raising money for Fife Young Carers

Edinburgh Marathon 2026 · 24 May 2026 ·

Fife Young Carers envisions a world where the roles and contributions of unpaid Young Carers and Young Adult Carers are recognised, and where these marginalised young people have the tailored, holistic support they need to thrive. We improve the lives of children and young people aged up to 25 in Fife with caring responsibilities by advancing education, employment, wellbeing and providing respite. We walk alongside Young Carers as they progress through life, empowering them to overcome barriers, stigma and low confidence, pursue their aspirations, and achieve a quality of life equitable to their peers. Our integrated services include person-centred, strengths-based one-to-one and group support; education, transitions and employability programmes; family mediation; befriending; and wellbeing support. We work systemically, raising awareness, training professionals and building strategic partnerships to identify hidden Carers, promote dignity and create environments where all Young Carers can build resilience, enhance confidence and realise their full potential.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Call me crazy, stupid or even Amazing

As you will all know I am no athlete however I have decided to run the Edinburgh half Marathon. ( I know right )

I am running this in hope to raise money for Fife Young Carers families- hoping to raise enough to have a family day out or event that will give enjoyment and a happy memorable experience to remember, knowing I can provide that gives this half marathon meaning 💚.

These are families who struggle daily with challenging situations with no respite opportunities , so my wish is to give them at least a day where they can let those stresses go, boosting there mental health and sense of belonging.

If you are able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean so much.

I’m not sure how I’m going to do this but I will by remembering my WHY.

Much Love Michelle x x x

Any contribution will help support families within Fife Young Carers and be greatly appreciated.
