Which Charities are going to Benefit?

Why were they chosen?

Our criteria for choosing our main charity was, it must:-

• Be local to Rutland / Leicestershire

• Be in real need of funding

• Be related to children

• Be small enough that we could make a real difference

So we went to our local GP and asked which charity they thought was really worthy of our support. Without hesitation they suggested Rainbows, an 8 bed children’s hospice in Loughborough. Both Fin and Stuart are fathers and felt that a charity supporting terminally ill children and their families was more than appropriate.  Fin and Stuart arranged to visit the hospice and were overwhelmed by the care and love that is exuded from this wonderful establishment. We noted that some of the bedrooms interconnect and it was explained that they have families with up to 3 terminally ill children in at any one time!  An image we struggled to come to terms with.

OUR TARGET IS TO RAISE OVER £100,000 FOR RAINBOWS

For more information on Rainbows please visit their website at: Rainbows

In addition a donation will also be given to the RNLI to acknowledge their help in bringing this challenge together, especially their invaluable safety audits and general support.
