The couple will be given support by Carers Link volunteers who will be bowling in the lane alongside them.
Sharon started a ten-pin bowling group for adults with visual impairments, which plays in a national league.
Both she and husband Frank play in a league at Pro Bowl.
Sharon said: “We both love bowling. We thought this would be a good way to have fun and raise funds for Carers Link at the same time.

“We’re really looking forward to it.”
The bowl-a-thon has been organised as part of Carers’ Week, which runs from June 18 to 24. This year’s theme is ‘In Sickness and in Health’.
