We’re lacing up our trainers for the Hackney Half Marathon, but we’re not just running for ourselves, we’re running for unsung heroes - the incredible unpaid carers who go above and beyond to keep others comfortable and happy!

At some point, most of us end up juggling a million things at once, like all the brilliant carers out there. Whether it’s looking after a parent, child, partner, sibling, or friend, it’s a role that often comes with little support, no resources and a whole lot of hard work. These everyday legends put others first, rarely get a thank you, and somehow keep it all together.

We’ve both had our own caregiving moments too. As grown-up kids to amazing parents, we’re learning every day what it takes to keep our loved ones comfortable, happy and well but most importantly remind them how much we appreciate everything they’ve done for us and how loved they are.

We know firsthand how tough caregiving can be; physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. That’s why we’re fundraising for Carers UK. By supporting them, we’re doing more than raising money – we’re making sure carers get the support they need, and show a little love too.

Our goal is to raise at least £500 for Carers UK to help provide real support for these awesome humans. Every little bit helps, whether it’s a few quid or a bit more – it’ll help Carers UK keep up their amazing work, from advice lines to practical help for carers who need a break.

So, come on, let’s show carers they’re not alone. Let’s make sure they know we’ve got their backs! Donate now and help us make a difference!
