Story

This challenge involves pushing my own limits and participating in a triple challenge series across one of the UK's most rugged landscapes. I will be tackling all terrains as I cycle, trek and kayak in just one day in the heart of Snowdonia. 

The challenge itself is:

  • 9 mile trek
  • 10.5 mile cycle
  • 2.5 mile kayak

Gloucestershire Young Carers are an extremely important charity to me because they have continuously provided me with support and have helped and shaped me into the person I am today.

Gloucestershire Young Carers is a dynamic charity constantly growing and developing to meet the ever-changing needs of young carers in the county. Young carers are children and young people under the age of 18 and young adult carers are young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who provide regular or ongoing care and/or emotional support to a family member.  They may be involved in the care of an adult or child in their family affected by one or more of the following:

  • a physical disability or sensory impairment
  • a long term illness
  • mental ill health
  • problematic substance misuse
  • a learning disability

Gloucestershire Young Carers support young carers by:

  • Providing direct services in partnership with a raft of other organisations
  • Working with young carers to support professionals and commissioners to improve their response to young carers

It is important that carers know what support there is for them. That is why I want to fundraise as much as I can for Gloucestershire Young Carers to help fund and expand the support services that they provide so that others can reach out and have just as much, if not more, support in their day-to-day lives.

In my personal experience, Gloucestershire Young Carers have supported me immensley througout my academics. Not only have they helped me alongside coursework and exams, but they have also provided me with life- long connections in my legal career- some who I am in contact with still, today! Everyone at Gloucestershire Young Carers is so dedicated to each individual and they so passionately want the best for each carer, and it shows through how much time and support they spend with each individual.

I want Gloucestershire Young Carers to feel the love that they have given to all of us carers, and, by doing this challenge, I hope to give back just as much as they have given me!
