We are Rainbows Hospice, our mission is to support the children that need us most

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have thought long and hard about which charity to run for, as according to my physio this will probably be my one and only marathon due to my "dodgy" knees.

Last year my cousin Phil and his partner Amy, tragically lost their beautiful baby son Koby due to a problem with his heart.  I am running this marathon in memory of Koby, and wanted to pick a charity to reflect that.

 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. Their incredible team of people helps relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, support parents and siblings through their bereavements and care for children until the end.

I wanted to support a local childrens' charity, and when I found out about the fantastic work that Rainbows does, I knew I'd found the right one.

So please dig deep and donate now.
