Hi All,

Only 2 days to go until l run in the Sydney  1/2 marathon and whilst doing so I'm hoping to raise much needed funds for Young Care.

Why?

Currently more than 6,500 young Australians (under the age of 65) with full-time care needs are living in aged care simply because there are few alternatives. The realities of aged care mean a young person will share a residence where the average age is 86 and the average life expectancy is just three years. More importantly, in most cases, their specific care needs will not be met and differ greatly to those of the elderly residents.



If you can help, your support would be greatly apreciated.....I'll do all the hard work!  You can make a difference by supporting my  run and Youngcare by making a donation to my page.

Your support, big or small would be greatly appreciated.. Every bit will make a difference to young people living in care and getting me across that line!

P.S Please don't hesitate to pass this link on to anyone who you feel may be interested in supporting this cause.

Oh and remember....Your donation is tax deductible.

Thanking you in advance!
