Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) is bringing a brand new fundraising event to local residents later this year, the Bubble Rush, taking place on Saturday 2nd September at Keynsham Memorial Park.
The whole family can take part in the event, a 5k sponsored fun run, which sees participants getting covered in frothy coloured bubbles as they make their way round the course.
Sponsorship raised from Bubble Rush will go directly to CHSW’s Charlton Farm hospice, which is based in North Somerset but supports families with life-limited children from Bath, Bristol and the surrounding areas.
CHSW offers a unique service and provides care for families with children who have life-threatening or life-limiting conditions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Clare Toller, whose son Grayson spent his final days surrounded by his family at Charlton Farm, has signed up for the Keynsham event.
Clare said: “Attending events organised in support of CHSW is always a privilege we enjoy as it is one of the ways that we can try to give back our support for all that the hospice has done for our son Grayson and our entire family, both during the time he was with us and thereafter.
“It also gives us the opportunity to celebrate Grayson’s life and remember him as a family in such amazing ways. We are particularly looking forward to the Bubble Rush in September as it falls on the 4th anniversary of Grayson’s death, so it will be a lovely way to commemorate this day.”
Families can have short respite stays at Charlton Farm completely free of charge. CHSW also offers emergency stays, end-of-life care and bereavement support.
Its hospices are a lifeline for families facing unimaginable circumstances.

Registration costs £22.50 for adults, £12.50 for children and 2 years and under are free.
