Young carers work incredibly hard to take care of their loved ones. This could involve daily household tasks, mental health support, helping a loved one get showered and/or dressed and much much more. It is a 24/7 responsibility and on top of that they go to school, college, university or work. It's just their way of life. This can ultimately lead to them facing significant disadvantage as a result and MYTIME Young Carers don't think that's right or fair.

Having met two young carers talk about their experiences and how MYTIME has helped them so much, I decided to take up this challenge and help raise funds.

On a personal level its a challenge for myself, I have been doing a weekly sea dip all year round for several years but this is a whole new level!!!
