How you can help
Thank you
Mobbs family
A huge well done and thank you to the Mobbs family
– dad Chris and sons Iain and Andrew, who took part
in the Hever Castle triathlon last September. Each
‘Mobbster’ took on a different section of the triathlon
and together they raised over £1,900!
Kate Keays
In a previous issue of Caring we told you about the
swimming challenge Kate set herself for Carers UK’s
50th Anniversary year – swimming five lengths for every
£1 donated. We’re delighted to report that Kate has
now finished her challenge, raising over £500. In total
she swam 2,525 lengths, which is over 100 kilometres –
the distance from London to Brighton!
Kate said: ‘As a very slow and inexperienced swimmer,
this challenge was harder than I anticipated but one that
was well worth the effort. Thank you Carers UK for the
encouragement to take it on and achieve my goal!’
Well done Kate – now you can have a well-earned rest!
We need you!
