FROM BURNOUT TO BALANCE!

On 29th November, 6th, 20th & 27th December, I’m running 4 x 5k Parkruns to give unpaid family caregivers a much-needed break this Christmas.

This cause is close to my heart. My niece has cerebral palsy, and I’ve witnessed how caregiving shapes entire families — especially the caregivers who give everything while receiving very little support for themselves. Burnout is common. Rest is rare. And yet they keep going.

I’m supporting Fundación Heroínas en la Sombra in Santa Marta, Colombia, through The Caregivers Support Trust (UK Charity Reg.No. 1204773). Together, they provide emotional care, short breaks, community groups, and wellness support for unpaid caregivers who urgently need space to breathe, restore, and feel valued again.

Your donation will help fund:

• Mental health and support groups

• Respite and wellness activities

• One-to-one emotional support

• Awareness campaigns that make caregiving visible and respected

Every contribution — no matter the size — helps restore hope, dignity, and strength to those who give their whole hearts every single day.

Thank you for helping me care for the caregivers.
