My daughter Emily and I are running the 5K Santa Run in memory of Abigail North, a loving daughter and sister. Abi sadly passed away in August 2023 from bone cancer, and we carry her in our hearts every day. We want to say a huge thank you to Rainbows, who looked after Abi and supported all of us as a family. We would like to raise as much money as possible to help support other families in need.

As a charity, Rainbows is almost entirely dependent on people like you to provide the funds that keep their services going.

Rainbows cares for hundreds of families every year who have a baby, child or young person with a serious or terminal illness that means that their lives will be shorter than most.

By donating you will be helping to support babies, children, young people and their families living with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions, in the East Midlands.

Rainbows provide specialist care and emotional support for babies, children and young people with serious or terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family, for as long as they have.

For more information please visit www.rainbows.co.uk to see more about how your support helps families through the toughest times and how you will be helping make precious memories.

Please ensure every child, young person and family can depend on Rainbows when they need them the most.
