Fundraisers from Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) are excited about the return of the Bubble Rush to Plymouth at the end of the summer. The event will take place on Sunday, September 23, at Newnham Park.

Bubble Rush is a 5km, foam-filled, sponsored fun run where participants can run, jog or walk through different coloured bubble stations getting covered in foam of all colours along the way.

CHSW brought the event to Plymouth for the first-time last year and 1,200 people took part raising £40,000 in sponsorship for the charity that supports children with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses and their families through its three children’s hospices.

All ages can take part in Bubble Rush. There will be staggered starts at noon, 1pm and 2pm to ensure everyone gets maximum bubbles.

Kiley Pearce, events fundraiser for CHSW, said: 'We are really excited about bringing the Bubble Rush back to Plymouth after the success of the first event last year. It is great fun to take part in with your friends or family and is a fantastic way of helping us to raise vital funds for our hospices which support children and families from your local community.’

Entry costs £23.50 for adults, £13.50 for children and under 4s go free. To sign up visit www.chsw.org.uk/bubbleplymouth

Money raised at the event through sponsorship will help CHSW’s three children’s hospices, including Little Harbour in St Austell, to continue offering short breaks, respite, palliative care, end of life care and bereavement support to local children and their families.
