Dear Parent / Guardian 😊

It’s Rudy the reindeer here from the North Pole to talk about a very special mission Santa has set me this year. This year Binbrook C of E Primary School has chosen to support Lincolnshire based charity St Barnabas Hospice by doing their very own Rudy’s Run in school on Friday 13th December 2024.

Rudy’s Run is all about our children having some festive and educational fun whilst raising much needed funds for your local hospice!

Each child will receive a free pair of antlers to wear as they run, walk, dance or prance the Rudy’s Run route. They can even keep them for family festivities at home! It would be amazing if you could help your child fundraise £3, or whatever you can give 😊

St Barnabas Hospice is renowned for its outstanding end-of-life care for adults, but they also provide pre and post bereavement support for families too. This invaluable support is free for anyone in Lincolnshire who is struggling with loss, and more work is being done right now at St Barnabas to create a specialist bereavement service for children as young as five.

Losing a parent, sibling or grandparent can be extremely traumatic for a child, but it is something which one in thirty children are going through each day. Rudy’s Run has been designed to highlight our bereavement support and to help continue to fund this much needed service.

Your school has set up a Just Giving page to allow you, your family and friends to make donations.

I hope you will support your child in this fundraising event and help boost the school fundraising total to give patients and their families at St Barnabas Hospice a joyful Christmas.

Got to dash now – Santa is calling me for flying practice!

Best wishes,

Rudy xxx
