This Christmas, join us and our friends at Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity, and Chesterfield Royal Hospital Charity at Markeaton Park for the Derby Santa Run!

Taking place on Sunday 11 December and with a BRAND NEW 5K route, the Derby Santa Run is perfect for all ages. Whether you hop, skip, dance or run the route, yule be sure to have lots of festive fun. Were also inviting Santa Paws to get involved, and they can wear their own special pawsome festive bandana!

As a gift from us to you this Christmas, everyone who signs up to take part will also receive their very own Santa suit (under-3s are free but do not receive a suit) before they start the fun run; while youll also receive a finishers medal and goody bag once youve crossed the finish line.

Along with taking part in the BRAND NEW 5K route, on the day theres also the chance to meet Frozens Anna and Elsa, and indulge in some delicious refreshments.

Sadly, some children just don't live long enough.

As the East Midlands only hospice for children and young people, Rainbows is a place where life-limited children and their families can find care and support. Our incredible team of people help relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, support parents and siblings through their bereavements and care for children until the end.

Please take a look at our tour to see what we do and hear from some of the families that we support.

Rainbows is a place where children can laugh, play and make every precious moment count, while families already bereaved are supported through the toughest times. Because of you and other supporters like you, a family will be able to make special memories they will cherish forever and bring a smile to their child's face as they laugh and play.

Please help the team brighten short lives - thank you
