This year like many slightly excitable people, I decided on a sunny Saturday morning run, that I wanted to run the Marathon for a good cause, Carers UK. This seemed like a really good idea on a lovely three mile jog around the park... but 26.2 miles is much longer and the long winter runs now feel slightly ominous.

I have decided to run on behalf of Carers UK as I think it is a really important charity which supports carers from all walks of life, from making sure carers get the support and entitlement they need to keep up their hard work, to connecting carers with other people who understand the challenges and rewards that caring can bring.

I am running the London Marathon and raising money to ensure that Carers UK can keep connecting people, providing support to those in need and to raise awareness of the challenges carers face every day.

Please donate, and help me make every ever longer training shuffle count!

Thanks,
Maeve
