Rainbow Hub's calling on all Rainbow Ramblers to join their 20th birthday celebrations and take part in their virtual Ramble on Saturday 24th April.

The event, supported by JMW Solicitors and Frank Whittle Partnership, will raise much needed funds for the charity that's supported children and young people with physical and neurological disabilities for 20 years and would love to have a big party - but can't due to COVID.

But they're not giving up and are inviting those who'd usually take part in its popular Rainbow Ramble, as well as anybody else who would like to support them, to make a donation and enter their virtual event.

It's asking people to use their daily exercise to walk, run, or cycle the 5 or 11 miles
- if they are isolating, shielding or not a fan of walking or running, they can choose their own challenge and skip, hop, roll or jump around their house or garden, do the hoola hoop, press ups, star jumps or anything else they fancy!

The usual entry fee for the Ramble is £15 for adults, £5 for children and free for those in wheelchairs and pushchairs - any amount donated will be fantastic and help to raise some of the funds needed to maintain and expand their services.

Anyone wanting to join the ramble can donate at www.justgiving.com/campaign/rainbowramble21 and are encouraged to also set up their own sponsorship page by following the link and clicking on 'start fundraising'.

Kat Nelson, Head of Fundraising at the charity said: “We are devastated that we can't celebrate our birthday with everyone on the centre but will be planning a big event for our 21st next year!

"We hope people will take part in our Virtual Ramble and share pictures and videos completing their challenge on the day using the hashtag #RainbowRamble and perhaps set up their own just giving page and get sponsorship to help us raise much needed funds.”
