Story

In January 2024 we lost our little boy Joey, something parent's should never go through.

Aged just 2 years and 8 months Joey lost his battle to multiple illnesses including a brain condition and cerebral palsy to name a few. In memory of our blue eyed boy and in support of such an amazing charity I have decided to take part in a tandem skydive event on the 28th September 2024 to raise as many funds and as much awareness as possible - we simply couldn't have done it without the Rainbows team along with the community nurses and they will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Rainbows is a place where children can laugh, play and make every precious moments 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.

Rainbows Hospice only receives 18% of funding from government bodies. Please help them brighten short lives, your donations, small or big are greatly appreciated and will have a huge impact - thank you.
