Last chance to become a human rainbow for Hospice

FLORENCE Nightingale Hospice Charity will be holding its fourth Colour Rush at Green Park, Aston Clinton on Sunday, October 7, and the Charity is urging Colour Rushers (new and old) to sign up quickly to start fund-raising as this will be the last year for local people to get covered in colour for their Hospice.

“Each year that we’ve done the Colour Rush around 600 people have had a hilarious time running through clouds of incredible colour at this hugely fun event,” explained the Charity’s Head of Fundraising, Jo Turner. “Sign up very soon to help us make this event the most colourful ever!”

As last year, the money raised will support Florrie’s Children’s Team, providing respite care for children with life-limiting conditions in their own homes. Colour Rush has created fantastic memories for families who have done it, and children love it.

“It’s the perfect thing to do with all the family, and you’re allowed to bring your parents,” said Hannah, aged 10. “When you come out at the end, you have colours all over you.”

“You should do Colour Rush for the charity of Florence Nightingale because it’s great to help and you can get covered in paint,” says Aidan, aged 13. “My favourite bit about Colour Rush was paint being chucked at me!”

“Don’t miss out on the fun,” said Jo Turner. “If you participated before and want to do Colour Rush again, or have been meaning to do Colour Rush and haven’t got around to it yet, get registered this year, or miss out!”

To keep their events programme fresh the Charity will be introducing a new family fun event in 2019 as one of the ways of celebrating the Hospice’s 30th birthday.

Colour Rush 2018 is a 5k romp through five colour stations and around Green Park in Aston Clinton, at 11am and at 2pm on Sunday, October 7, 2018. See website for more details at www.fnhospice.org.uk/colourrush
