Anyone can be a carer, really: a 15-year-old girl caring for a parent with multiple sclerosis; a 40-year-old man juggling full-time work while caring for his family who lives far away; a 60-year-old man caring for his wife who has terminal cancer; or an 80-year-old woman caring for her husband who has Alzheimer's disease.
Cualquier persona puede ser cuidador: una niña de quince años cuidando de un progenitor con esclerosis múltiple; un hombre de cuarenta compaginando su trabajo a jornada completa con cuidar de su familia que vive alejada; un hombre de sesenta que cuida de su mujer enferma de cáncer terminal; o una mujer de ochenta que cuida de su marido que padece Alzheimer.
