Why Run for Rainbows:

By running for Rainbows you will be helping to support babies, children, young people and their families living with life-threatening and life-shortening conditions, here in the East Midlands.

We support every baby, child and young person to fulfill their potential, and help families make the most of every precious moment, while capturing memories and keepsakes to treasure. We’re here for the whole family, offering comfort and compassion during tough times, providing the highest level of professional care until the end, and support after. Simply put, we’re here to brighten short lives, and support families, wherever they are.

Every penny you raise, will help support our vital work here at the Hospice, in the local community and in hospitals.

“Running the 2021 London marathon was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had, knowing that you are running and fundraising for such an inspiring cause makes every step of those 26 miles worth it. The crowd on the day itself will carry you to the finish line. My piece of advice would be to look up and take it all in from the supporters, to the music, to the London landmarks and even the friends you make along the way. You are running for such a special cause and it will be a day that you will never forget!” – Katie, Rainbows 2021 London Marathon Runner
