Rainbow Run
The Rainbow Run for East Kent Hospitals Charity
Fundraising for East Kent Hospitals Charity
Story
Join our sponsored run at 10 am on 17 May 2020 to raise money for East Kent Hospitals Charity's Helping Your Hospitals appeal!
The money raised will be used to provide care packages and support the physical and emotional wellbeing of hospital staff during this hideous COVID-19 pandemic.
The event is open to all ages and abilities. Due to current social distancing rules, the run should take place in your own garden or as part of your daily permitted exercise. You can choose your own distance. We suggest 2km for young children and 5 km for adults - it’s up to you to decide. Collectively we would like to clock up 500km, so please let us know your distance. It's up to you whether you walk, run, skip or jump. But you do need to make sure you're wearing the colours of the rainbow!
You can find more information about the East Kent Hospitals Charity Helping your Hospitals COVID-19 appeal here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/ekhc2020

We hope you'll join us!!
