I am running the Vitality 10k in September and the Royal Parks half marathon in October to raise money for the Rainbow Trust children’s charity.

Although I absolutely love to run it’s been a long time since I’ve been brave enough to sign up for a race so this is way out of my comfort zone. But I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to run for this incredible charity and would really really appreciate your support.

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, for as long as is needed. Rainbow Trust supports the whole family including parents, carers, the unwell child, brothers, sisters and grandparents.
