Alice Bailey to Run Manchester Marathon for Crossroads Care

Community news on behalf of Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston | 13 April 2026

Alice Bailey, Caring Café Lead at Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston, is set to take on the Manchester Marathon on 19 April to raise vital funds for the charity.

As part of her training, Alice recently completed the Hampton Court Half Marathon in February, demonstrating her dedication to supporting the charity’s mission: providing essential care and respite for unpaid carers and those they care for.

Alice said: ‘I’m running for Crossroads because I have the privilege of working for the charity and see first-hand the incredible dedication and love unpaid carers give to their family members every single day.

‘Carers often put their own needs last, and the support Crossroads provides makes a real, tangible difference, offering respite, understanding, and care when it’s needed most.

‘Training for this challenge won’t be easy, but it’s nothing compared to the daily challenges unpaid carers face. Every mile I run is for them.’

Every donation, big or small, will help Crossroads continue supporting carers in our community.
