“In my world everyone talks about the dedication and sacrifice of athletes but that’s nothing compared to people who care for people who need them. It’s a huge thing they do for someone else - with no medals - and I’m so happy to support the #StepOut24 to say thank you.”

We really had a great time with Stepping Out with Carers - thank you for giving us such a lovely day out. We always look forward to these special days as we don’t get anything from other organisations.
