Last year, due to the pandemic, the event went virtual, and around 2,000 people raised an incredible £100,000 for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW). This year, the event is again open to anyone who wants to get involved; it’s a chance to don a bright outfit, pick a distance and complete it by running, skipping, walking, skating or riding and have fun along the way. We hope to raise £30,000 for each of the charity’s three children’s hospices: Little Bridge House in North Devon, Charlton Farm in Somerset and Little Harbour in Cornwall - a poignant target for the charity’s 30th anniversary year. It’s free to take part but CHSW encourages everyone to register at www.chsw.org.uk/rainbow for access to event information and free resources. 41
