Denise's UltraQuad Challenge

I'm doing a 24 hour endurance challenge in support of 'The Big Step Out' to recognise the nation's 10million unpaid carers and those they care for. I will be swimming, cycling, running and then carrying a 45kg weight, in rotation, for 24 hours.

Denise's 24 Hour UltraQuad Challenge

**UPDATE** I DID IT! Yes, it may have been the hottest day of the year at 32deg but I had a big cause to support and you can still donate! See how it went here: https://youtu.be/fox4Wghar8s

I wanted to give something back to an organisation that has become close to my heart for the vital work it does to support carers in getting outside and being active, something they often have to deprioritise. Speaking to carers at their events I have worked on has had a massive impact on me. Their love for the person they care for and their selflessness, strength and kindness were so obvious. My good friend Shäron from my home city of Aberdeen is also the full time carer for her daughter who has a very rare genetic condition, as she said:

 “I think every parent or family who also has a caring role will know you have to fight for the person you’re caring for. Carers are often known as ’The Silent Warriors’ “

Doing the UltraQuad on my own for 24 hours will be an unrelenting physical and mental challenge, but after 24 hours it’s finished. Being a carer doesn’t finish after 24 hours and without support it can be lonely and scary. Thankfully there are people with their strength and courage to care, and organisations like Stepping Out with Carers, to help these remarkable individuals. If I can raise some funds for their campaign, The Big Step Out, it will be an added incentive for me to keep strong when the going gets tough.

The Big Step Out 2025 is the National Community Walking Festival dedicated to the nation's 10 MILLION unpaid carers and the people they care for. The Big Step Out campaign will let unpaid carers know that they are not invisible to wider society as they so often feel. #TheBigStepOut25
