Demelza’s Frothy, Foamy, Famiy Fun Run Returns to Dartford

by | Jul 21, 2017 | Dartford Charities

Demelza Hospice Care for Children’s hugely popular Bubble Rush is returning to Dartford for its third fantastic, frothy, fabulous year!

Bubble Rush takes the fun run to a whole new level.  The family friendly event is coming to Central Park, Cranford Road on Sunday 6 August, when ‘Bubblers’ of all ages will be making their way through 4ft (1.2m) walls of coloured foam along the (approx.) 4km route, all in support of Demelza.

Demelza Bubble Rush 2017Places cost £25 for adults and £7.50 for children under 12.  Everyone signing up will receive a Bubble Rush T-shirt, a commemorative medal and a goody bag.

Anyone who raises £100 or more via online fundraising before the event will have their registration fee refunded, and there will be a fantastic prize on offer, for the Bubbler who raises the most sponsorship, of an annual family swim pass at Fairfield Leisure in Dartford.

Demelza’s Head of Events, Emma Middleton, said: Bubble Rush is fantastic fun for all the family but it does have a serious purpose. All the money raised will go directly to providing vital care for seriously ill babies, children and young people, plus support for their families. We are here for families in need right across Kent.”
