Congratulations to Trishna Daji, who ran the London Marathon, raising over £2,792 so far for Standard Life’s charity partner Carers UK. In the UK, there are 5.8 million unpaid carers, looking after loved ones who are ill, disabled, or elderly. Dedicating themselves daily, often without recognition or support, facing financial and emotional challenges while balancing their own lives. "Growing up, I saw this first-hand. My parents cared for my grandparents no matter how busy or demanding life became. Even when things were tough, the care they gave was never compromised. I also have many other people in my family who have been, or still are, carers, and I’ve seen how challenging that role can be emotionally, physically and mentally. Unpaid carers often put everyone else first, and their support can go unseen and unrecognised. Running the London Marathon is my way of raising awareness and giving something back to a cause that means a lot to me and to so many people in my life." Carers UK offer information, expert advice, advocacy and a supportive community to help make life better for carers. We’ll be matching £2,500 on top of what Trish has raised so far.
