Hi, we're taking part in Rainbow Run on Saturday 6th June to raise funds for St Wilfrid's Hospice!

Last year we completed this run as a family, and this year Martha and Eleanor are going to do it with me again (Josie and Sam are hoping to throw the paint!). St Wilfrid’s Hospice provides high-quality care and support for people across Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield (and all points in between) with life-limiting illnesses.

The hospice's expert teams support the physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual and practical needs of patients, and their families and carers. This is in the hospice building, in patients’ own homes and in local care homes.

At a time when running costs are higher than the hospice's income, our support is more important than ever. Less than 30% of the funds needed to provide the hospice's services comes from the NHS – meaning they count on the community to help with funding the rest.

Every donation helps to provide vital end of life care for local people, so please do consider donating to my Rainbow Run fundraising page.
