More than 1,600 people took part in the 5km Bubble Rush in aid of Dorothy House Hospice Care last weekend.
Dorothy House is set to raise over £50,000 from this fundraising event, and although this is only the second Bubble Rush the hospice has held, it has quickly become one of the hospice’s most popular fundraising events.
Participants walked, ran and danced their way along the 5km route filled with five bubble stations full of white, pink, yellow, blue and green foam at Castle Combe Race Circuit near Chippenham.
Dorothy House Hospice Care provides free palliative and end of life care from early diagnosis onwards to patients, their families and carers across Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES), Wiltshire and Somerset.
Emily Knight, events fundraiser at Dorothy House Hospice Care, said: “Our second Bubble Rush was a great success with over 200 more people taking part this year. It was wonderful to see so many local folks getting involved and having fun while raising money for Dorothy House. I hope people will continue to donate their sponsorship money as every penny counts, for each £1 we earn from the NHS, the hospice has to raise another £4.”
