Young Carers - A Day in the Life of Eddie - First Light

Young carer, Eddie is a schoolboy athlete who dreams of competing at the 2012 Olympics. On the day of the all-important team trials, Eddie has a problem. His mum, who has ME, is too ill to get out of bed so Eddie must look after his little sister for the day. He begins the long ring round to see who can baby-sit. Will Eddie get one step nearer to his dream?
