Due to Covid-19, unfortunately Rainbows has been unable to hold any of their usual popular events, which has had a huge impact on our fundraising efforts. But were super pleased to be able to bring you our incredible Summer Virtual Rainbows 5K. 

I am spreading the smiles as I complete the miles by taking part in this virtual challenge, please help me to raise as much sponsorship as I can so Rainbows can continue to support families through the toughest times and also make every precious moment count, however long or short the journey may be. 

Many of you will know that I am a total fitness-phobe! So you’ll be surprised to hear that in June I started the couch to 5k challenge, which I have just completed.

I’ve been a trustee and NED of Rainbows for the last 2 and a half years. It’s a tremendous honour to support one of the most remarkable charities I have ever come across! I have met many families and children during my time, each of them in their own unique circumstance, but all of them held in the caring heart of Rainbows.

Rainbows is the only children’s hospice in the East Midlands and as such provides vital services to children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. I’m proud to be supporting the work of the hospice hope to run a virtual 5k in each of the 5 counties, to raise awareness and much needed funds to enable Rainbows continue its vital work.

However you can also take part and join me in the challenge too! It would be great to have a few running mates along the way, or to see you running your own Rainbows virtual 5k!! 

Thanks for taking the time to read this and indeed for running, supporting and/or donating if you feel able to do so!
