Story

<p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">In February 2011 I did some volunteer work for the Rainbow Trust Children&rsquo;s Charity and was really impressed and touched by the work they do and all the hundreds of families they help and support.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">My Best Friend Sophie tragically passed away when she was 16 and&nbsp;I witnessed the stress and pain of her family and friends during her illness and after her passing. Charities like Rainbow can make such a huge difference. I feel it&rsquo;s important to&nbsp;ensure families who have limited time with their children are able to enjoy quality time and make happy memories. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Rainbow Trust Children's Charity provides emotional and practical support to families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. Rainbow Trust's Family Support Workers join the family in their own home and are there to provide practical support. We are contactable 24 hours a day for families in crisis from diagnosis, through treatment and even after bereavement.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Rainbow relies almost entirely on voluntary donations and through the generosity of our supporters we are able to help around 1,000 families a year. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Please dig deep it really is such a worth while cause and you'll be helping to make a difference.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Charlotte xx</span></p>
