Families across the North-east are being challenged to see red for all the right reasons when Archie’s Rudolph Run takes place next month.
The charity which supports sick and bereaved children and their families throughout the north and north east of Scotland, is challenging people to get together with those deer to them and dress up in their best Rudolph costumes and get sponsored to run, jog, walk or… dash-er… 5km.
The virtual event takes place on Sunday, 12th December. Participants are encouraged to share photos of their run on social media using the hashtag #RudolphRun.
Paula Cormack, Chief Executive of The Archie Foundation said: “The Archie Foundation makes a huge difference to children and their families all year round but Christmas is an especially important time for us. No one wants to spend Christmas in hospital so we want to make things as special as they possibly can be for any child or young person who needs hospital care over the festive season.
“The Rudolph Run will help us to raise important funds to do just that. Money raised could mean an emergency grant could be provided to a local family that is struggling because of their child’s unexpected hospital admission or to help us provide the extras that make a Christmas stay in hospital seem a little less daunting. The support we received last year from our Santa dash was fantastic and we hope the local community will again rally round for some to help us bring some Christmas cheer to the children’s hospital.”
