As Chairman of the Nottinghamshire Girls and Ladies Football League I had to do a series of introductions/short presentations on Rainbows at our league presentation day this year to explain that we had decided as a league to partner with the charity to help raise funds and as a result all proceeds from photographs purchased would go directly o the charity.

I was so moved by the video we were presenting of the amazing work Rainbows do for these young people and their families in such hard times that I felt like I wanted to do more. I saw the advert for Rainbows and the Robinhood half marathon, took a screen shot sent it to my son Reece and said "fancy doing this with me for an amazing charity" and here we are.

I had the pleasure of having a tour of the facilities at Rainbows a couple of weeks ago and the whole place is amazing, the tour we received from Clare was brilliant and the passion for what these people do was very evident.

Please dig deep and get behind me and see what this old "none runner" can raise for an amazing cause.
