We provide emotional and practical support to families with a seriously ill child.

Story

I'm running the London Marathon on 2 October 2022* for the Rainbow Trust, which does incredible work supporting families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness.

My fundraising target is at least £2,100. Here's what your money can do:

  • £24 provides an hour's emotional and practical support;
  • £55 pays for a Magic Mealtime - giving a family the opportunity to spend quality time together;
  • £384 pays for a Bereavement Support Specialist for one month;
  • £1,690 is the cost of support for a family with a terminally ill child for a whole year. 

Please donate - it's for a fantastic cause.

* I'll also be running the Hackney Half on 22 May 2022, and will be cycling a c. 200km ride

About the Rainbow Trust: 

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity supports families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness. When a child has a serious illness, family life is turned upside down and time becomes more precious than ever. Rainbow Trust pairs each family with an expert Family Support Worker who enables them to make the most of time together, giving them practical and emotional support, whenever they need it, for as long as is needed. We support the whole family including parents, carers, the unwell child, brothers, sisters and grandparents.
