Rainbow Run aims to raise ‘pot of gold’ for children’s hospice Four year old Amelia-Rose Hurn (pictured right) is donning the colours of the rainbow this month to raise funds for the 30th anniversary of Children’s Hospice South West, and she wants you to join her. She’s taking part in the charity’s ‘Rainbow Run Your Way’ fundraiser on June 19th and 20th. It’s open to anyone who wants to get involved, and CHSW is encouraging participants to pick a route of any distance and complete it however they wish. It will be a chance to don a bright outfit and complete your distance by running, skipping, walking, skating or riding and have fun along the way! Last year around 2,000 people raised an incredible £100,000. Event fundraiser Kiley Pearce said, “We were overwhelmed by the amount of people who got involved last year. We could see from social media that everyone really embraced the fun and colour that Rainbow Runs are all about.” “To be able to raise at least £30,000 for each of our hospices in our 30th anniversary year really would be very special, and would help us to ensure that local children and families can continue to receive the vital care they so desperately need now and in the future.” The charity runs three children’s hospices including Little Bridge House, here in North Devon.
