Why run for Rainbows?

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

We support every baby, child and young person to fulfil their potential, and help families make the most of every precious moment, while capturing memories and keepsakes to treasure. We’re here for the whole family, offering comfort and compassion during tough times, providing the highest level of professional care until the end, and support after.
