BSS Commercial Dept Charity Walk · 17 July 2010

Rainbow Trust Children's Charity supports families who have a child with a serious or life-threatening illness. 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.

Story

Hi All

 

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!

 

To find out more about the event and to discuss other ways how you can get involved, please email Gill Acomb on gill.acomb@bssgroup.com.

 

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”
Mother

 

To make this challenge worthwhile we want to raise as much as we can.

 

Thank you so much for your support
