BSS Industrial has been supporting Rainbow Trust Children's Charity for three and a half years now. They are an amazing charity who support families in their darkest days when their child has been diagnosed with a life threatening or terminal illness.
A team of people from the BSS Commercial and Marketing departments at Head Office are going to do a sponsored walk around Rutland Water on 17 July to raise money for Rainbow Trust. The team will split into two groups at the start of the day with one team walking clockwise around the lake and the other walking a route anti-clockwise - hopefully meeting at the other side! The total distance around the lake is 21 miles. What's more is that everyone participating will be dressed in a randomly allocated colour of the rainbow!
What Rainbow support means:
Support is picking up the phone at 3am to reassure a mum that they can cope.
Support is reassuring a sibling that cancer isn’t a big bad monster coming to get him too.
Support is being a hand to hold, and a shoulder to cry on – for any member of the family.
Rainbow support is all of those things, and everything in between
“When your world is turned upside down by having a child who is ill, sometimes you just need someone you can rely on – I have always been able to rely on Rainbow’s Support”
