I've been working for Rainbow Trust for two years, and I genuinely think we do incredible work. We support families whose child has a life threatening or terminal illness. Our incredible Family Support Workers provide practical and emotional help, we'll give whatever support that family needs: driving them to hospital, playing with poorly children or making sure their sibling has a chance for some fun, giving parents a break, emotional support to whoever needs us - parents, siblings, grandparents, step-parents. If a child dies, our support doesn't end there, we support into bereavement for as long as a family needs us.

We rely almost entirely on donations, and that’s why I’m fundraising - to help Rainbow Trust continue to support families really tricky times. it's our 40th year, and I'll be walking at least 40 miles, over the course of 40 days.

Please donate if you can. Every donation, 40p, £4.00, big or small, all adds up. Thank you.
