I'm getting covered in colour at the Thanet 5k Colour Run to raise funds for local hospice care!

My name is Dolly, I am 16 years old. I have decided to support my local hospice by entering the colour run.

The hospice does not only support people in death but also people with serious illnesses in life and supports families at vulnerable times in their life. My own family has been affected with my mum diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. However, we were blessed that my mum has made good progress and has had the support from our family to enable her to recover at home. I am running to raise money for the hospice to help people who may not have the same support my mum does to recover. The money I raise will go straight to the hospice to enable them to assist more people who struggle with life threatening illnesses like my mum and many more.

Pilgrims Hospices deliver skilled and compassionate end-of-life care, free of charge, to thousands of people in east Kent every year. They rely on charitable giving for around 80% of their funding and your support could make such a difference to their work.

Your generous support is appreciated and so important, thank you.
