I am taking on the Hackney Half Marathon to raise awareness for the 5.8 million carers who go the extra mile every single day.

Many people—whether due to illness, disability, or old age—depend entirely on carers to help them get through each day. Carers give everything—time, energy, and love—often without enough support. The emotional and physical toll can be overwhelming, leaving both the carer and the person they care for in difficult and isolating situations.

This charity helps make sure that neither the carer nor the person they support is left to struggle alone. From providing vital resources and respite care to offering emotional and financial assistance, they make a real difference in people’s lives.

If you can, please consider contributing—your generosity will have a real impact.

Thanks,
