Dawn's Half Marathon for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People

Dawn Bowden is raising money for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People

Half Marathon · 12 October 2025

As the East Midlands’ only hospice for children and young people, we brighten the short lives of babies, children and young people who come to Rainbows. We want them to have fun and make special memories. We are also here to support their loved ones through the most difficult times of their lives.

Story

Over the now 20 years of working with Bamboozle Theatre Company I have met and worked with many children and families who have been supported by the wonderful Rainbows Hospice. Rainbows offer comfort and compassion during tough times, providing the highest level of professional care until the end, and support after. Simply put, they brighten short lives, and support families, wherever they are. Speaking to families I know how vital this wonderful place is and for that reason I have decided to get my 62 year old legs on the road to raise some money. 18 months ago I couldn’t run for a bus so the work has already started and my weekends are mostly spent getting the miles in or complaining how tired I am feeling!!!

If you can donate I would be so grateful. Any amount however small will make a big difference to the charity. Thank you xx
