Simon’s story
I started running in 2020 and all I could manage was 2 kilometres. Fast forward five years and I’ve ran four half marathons and, after smashing my half marathon PB last year, I decided to take things to the next levels and see if my body would drag me round a full marathon so I will be taking part in my first ever marathon in Edinburgh on Sunday 26th May.
I will be running for Carers Choices. Carers Choices supports unpaid Carers through innovative services. They run day centres for the elderly, those suffering with dementia and younger adults/teenagers with complex learning difficulties and disabilities.
I have personally had the chance to help out on a couple of occasions with the Young Carers - from as young as 5 to 18, Carers Choices provide a safe space, peer support and activities that increase confidence and help these unpaid carers to carry on their vital role.
This is the worthiest of causes so every penny counts so any sum you donate will be greatly appreciated
