Women are invited to gather at midnight on Saturday, July 17, for a six-mile walk round Loughborough supporting mums of children and young people at Rainbows Hospice.

 

The Miles for Mums Midnight Walk begins and ends at Loughborough Town Hall and is open to all women over the age of 16.

 

The lovely Miss Loughborough, Abi Hill, pictured, has already put her name down to undertake the circular sponsored walk.

 

She?ll be joined by several mums of the children at Rainbows. She said: ?I am proud to walk six miles at midnight to support children, young people and families who use the wonderful Rainbows Hospice.?

 

Rainbows provides care for children and young people with life limiting illnesses and life threatening conditions as well as support for their whole families.

 

One mum, Lucy Smith, whose son Harry has a degenerative condition said: ?Rainbows is a life saver for Harry, and for me and my husband too.

 

Harry gets fabulous one-to-one care, and we have huge support from the family support team.? It costs £10 per person to register, and every penny raised in sponsorship goes directly to benefit Rainbows Hospice.

 

Once registered, walkers will receive information and fundraising packs with exclusive Miles for Mums t-shirts.

 

On the night will be goody bags and to spur people on to complete ? a medal and light breakfast awaits after the walk.
