Congratulations and many thanks to Shirley Jones, our Trustee and Rosie’s intensive care nurse, for completing her first marathon in our honour! With a huge fundraising total, and a time to be proud of, it’s no wonder Shirley is smiling!

This year 2013 is the 10th year of the Fund. We want to step up the fundraising to enable us to purchase an adapted holiday home for families in need. We have a number of events planned so watch this space for updates throughout the year.

Many thanks to Lucy Phillips who raised over £500 for her charity skydive on her 21st birthday. Lucy was Rosie’s school friend  and wanted to do something special in her memory:

“I really wanted to raise some money for Rosie’s Rainbow so this seemed like the perfect opportunity.”

After the skydive, a wonderful rainbow followed Lucy all the way home…

Congratulations to Nick Cherry who completed the Brighton Marathon for us on Sunday 15 April. This was Nick’s 19th marathon – a fantastic achievement. Nick also took part in a Strictly Come Dancing Event for us in Bicester on 21 April, raising even more funds for our work in hospital and in the community. We are extremely grateful for this extraordinary effort.

We were delighted at the turnout, despite the heavy snow, for the swing night with The Ding Dong Daddios in Maidenhead in February. We raised over £1000 for the Fund. Many thanks to our helpers on the night, especially the NatWest Team from the Maidenhead Branch who came to assist.
