This Sunday some of the team are mad enough to be representing Minute Steak & Steak in the British 10k London Run. We’ll be celebrating the event’s tenth anniversary, and enjoying/enduring one of the most iconic and historic routes through the capital.
This year the runners are supporting Friends of Young Carers. Young carers are children aged 5 to 18 who have caring responsibilities in their home. The person(s) being cared for may have a physical or mental illness, a long term health condition or a terminal illness, or have problems with alcohol or drug misuse. There are over 175 young carers registered with the Young Carers Service locally, and the following examples, outline just some of the issues they face (details amended to protect privacy) -
- Mary, 10 years old, cares for her mum who has physical disabilities and has just learnt she has womb cancer.
- Henry, aged 16, cares for his mum who has a crumbling spine and is in severe pain constantly. He also cares for his sister who has severe mobility issues, and his brother who has asperger syndrome.
- Susan, aged 10, lost her mum to cancer and is now caring for her dad who is terminally ill.
Please support the running bulls of Steak this year and give generously at http://www.justgiving.com/Team-Steak and try to get down to the race and cheer on the team!
Thanks for your support!
