Hello and thanks for clicking this far. I've been persuaded to run the Brighton Half Marathon on 19th Feb, so am taking the opportunity to make these freezing cold runs count for more just than my target time. Of the many possible charities I've chosen to support Carers UK, whose aim is to improve the lives of millions of people who care for partners, family members or friends, so they don't struggle alone. You can read more here http://www.carersuk.org/about-us

Donating is really easy, either click on 'DONATE' to send money directly to Carers UK (it’s safe & you won't receive unwanted emails)

OR send a text to 70070 with the code CLEL99 followed by the amount you wish to donate eg £1. Text donations can only be amounts of £1, £2, £3, £4, £5, or £10. (An individual can give a maximum of £30 by text a day). The text is free to send & every penny goes to the charity.

…and the (rather ambitious) target time is 1hr 45 – no going back now it’s in black and white, I’ll keep you posted! Thanks again.

Claire Louise
