James's fundraiser for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People

James Marman is raising money for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People
In memory of Erinne Budd

Running challenge · 11 October 2026

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

I’m fundraising for Rainbows Hospice, an incredible place that gave Erinne and her family care, comfort and unforgettable memories during the hardest time.

Erinne was 6 years old when she was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. In spring 2024, she received radiotherapy which thankfully gave her time to live life to the fullest and make memories with her family and friends.

The Rainbows team supported Erinne and her parents through every stage of the journey and they continue to support the family now.

Rainbows is a hospice providing compassionate and expert care to babies, children and young people with serious and terminal conditions across the East Midlands. The unique needs of each baby, child and family are the centre of everything they do, and they work collaboratively to provide care and support and create opportunities and meaningful memories through illness, death and bereavement. The care they offer is wide ranging and includes end of life care, symptom management, emergency care and short breaks and is available in the hospice, at home and in hospitals.

Erinne passed away in June 2025, but her spirit and love for Rainbows lives on. I want to honour her and help this amazing hospice continue its vital work for other children and families.

Every donation makes a difference. Please help me to support Rainbows in memory of Erinne.
