LINCOLNSHIRE HOSPICE TO HOST BRAND NEW SPRING FUN RUN<br />
St Barnabas Hospice to host brand new Spring Fun Run for Lincoln.<br />
Following a successful year of new events for St<br />
Barnabas Hospice, a further brand new event has just<br />
been launched taking place in Lincoln City Centre.<br />
The Spring Fun Run is due to be held on Sunday 25th<br />
March. This untimed run is open to all, with a 2.5k and<br />
5k routes to choose from. The charity is encouraging<br />
those wanting to get involved to wear their best spring<br />
themed outfits for the fun run. There will also be a<br />
prize at the end for the best dressed.<br />
Laura Stones, Events Fundraiser for St Barnabas<br />
Hospice, said: “We are really looking forward to<br />
bringing a brand new event to the centre of Lincoln<br />
and think this is something that all the family can get<br />
involved in. There are no age restrictions and child<br />
entry includes a free mask to decorate and wear on<br />
the day.<br />
“We want to see everyone dressed up in their best<br />
Easter themed outfits and there will be a special<br />
prize for the best dressed. We think this event will<br />
bring together the whole family for a fantastic cause,<br />
whether you are running in memory of a loved one, or<br />
just to have fun!”<br />
On the day there will be a warm up, an array of<br />
merchandise, cakes and a chocolate tombola.<br />
Spectators are also welcome to come along for a day<br />
out and enjoy another fantastic charity event.<br />
Laura said: “Events like this Spring Fun Run are crucial<br />
in helping raise the funds needed to continue caring<br />
and supporting over 9,000 people across Lincolnshire<br />
that are living with a life-limiting or terminal illness.<br />
“St Barnabas works tirelessly to ensure patients and<br />
their families make the most of every second they<br />
share, regardless of how much time remains.”<br />
To take part, adult tickets are only £10, and children’s<br />
tickets (under 15’s) £5, the children’s entry includes a<br />
free mask to decorate and wear on the day.<br />
