Firewalk · 5 November 2009 ·

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

I did it !!! I to walked barefoot over red hot coals that were burning at 1200ºF.  it really was an ultimate test of mind over matter!  

The families that Rainbow Trust support face unimaginable challenges everyday, so Please help me smash my target and raise vital funds for Rainbow.  

 What Rainbow support means:

Support means being with a bereaved mother who is on her hands and knees threatening suicide, who by the time we leave the house, many hours later, is able to laugh at her self

Support is comforting a distraught surgeon, after he had to tell a family that their child had died while he was operating on her

Support is making cakes with child propped in a high chair, because he was too weak to stand, and only had a week left to live

Support is reassuring a sibling that cancer isn’t a big bad monster coming to get him too

Support is listening on the phone while a mother sobs her heart out, because the weather is cold, and her son has been buried without an overcoat

 

“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”
Lisa mother of Jack aged 3    

 

To make this challenge worthwhile I want to raise as much as I can. The minimum target is £200 but it would be amazing if you could help me smash that.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page, please be generous with your donations as it will make every step even more worth while.

Don't forget to tick the gift aid box if you can, Rainbow will receive an exta 28p for every £1 you donate!

Thank you Aileen
