Story

In 2012 my Dad had an accident which left him with permanent brain damage. Since the accident, he has needed 24/7 care. Although he has remained eligible for NHS continuous healthcare, it has become increasingly difficult for many people to claim for state-funded social support. With fewer people getting the support they deserve when loved ones need continuous care but fail to meet the criteria, charities such as 'Carer's Trust' are crucial in offering a lifeline to those that are struggling.

In an effort to show support for the unpaid carers who are unable to afford care for their friends and families and do not meet the governments' requirements for financial support, I will attempt to raise £1000 for my Welsh Three Peaks challenge. To make the journey down a bit more exciting, I will be taking my skateboard to each summit and will ride down each mountain. Making me the first person to complete the three biggest hill bombs in Wales, I think.

Please show your support by donating generously for all of those carers, young and old, who dedicate their lives to looking after the people they love.
