This is Carter, and throughout June is running 80km to raise money for Sunshine and Smiles. One week to go and he has reached an amazing 93% of his target. The charity is very close to his heart as his cousin Kai has Down syndrome. The boys are very close, and Carter has seen first hand the challenges Kai has faced throughout his life, showing incredible strength every step of the way. Carter couldn’t be more proud of him!
To show his support and help raise funds for Sunshine and Smiles, Kai has set himself the challenge of running 80km during June. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help us continue the support we provide to families across Leeds.
Thank you Carter, we think you’re brilliant and we’re sure Kai is just as proud of you as you are of him! You can help Carter reach the target in his challenge here.
