Carers Charity Event Gets Sporting Endorsement
A charity event organized by Stepping Out With Carers received a remarkable boost as popular sporting figures endorsed their cause. The event’s coverage extended from Geoff King Motors Oval in Australia to Wembley Finals Day in the UK.
The rugby league match between Nambucca Roosters and Coffs Harbour Comets witnessed a thrilling encounter before inclement weather halted proceedings. The U18s game saw the Roosters clinch a victory, showcasing impressive skills on both sides.
Following the on-field action, Sue Mott, representing Stepping Out With Carers, penned an article highlighting the upcoming charity initiative scheduled for June. The event calls for individuals to dedicate their physical activities to the millions of unpaid carers and the people they support.
The charity initiative’s focus on unpaid carers stems from the inspiring story of Rob and Lindsey Burrow, along with their close friend Kevin Sinfield. It aims to celebrate and support these unsung heroes who provide care tirelessly.
Participants are encouraged to join in the event, which spans from walks to sports activities, all dedicated to paying tribute to carers. Notable personalities like Sir Steve Redgrave, Clare Balding, and more, have pledged their support to this noble cause.
The charity event commences during Carers Week, coinciding with a period of increased awareness and appreciation for the tireless efforts of unpaid carers. Members from various sectors, including sports, entertainment, and beyond, have rallied behind this cause.
As the event gains momentum, participants can share their activities on social media using #STEPOUT24, tagging @carersstepoutuk, to showcase their dedication to the cause. The charity initiative seeks to uplift and recognize the invaluable contributions of carers and provide them with the acknowledgment they rightfully deserve.
