Hospice launches Suffolk’s first ever Bubble Rush
A new, fun-filled, frothy event was launched this week by St Elizabeth Hospice which saw people getting covered in bubbles!
The local charity launched a brand new event – and a first for Suffolk – at Christchurch Park yesterday and hundreds of people have already registered their interest in being part of the bubbly fun.
The event, called Bubble Rush, will see people run, walk, dance, or skip around Christchurch Park on Sunday 28 August. The 5km route will feature five ‘bubble stations’ which each have bubble cannons, blasting out crazy-coloured bubbles, covering you in safe, frothy foam! Each station jets out different coloured bubbles, with a matching scent and unique music to listen to.
The bubble station was at Christchurch Park for the launch, attracting plenty of attention from the families and youngsters enjoying their Easter holidays, many of whom wanted to get bubbly!
Catherine Sheppard, St Elizabeth Hospice’s events and challenges fundraiser, said: “We are really excited to be launching Bubble Rush, which is really different from any event we’ve ever organised before.
“Seeing the youngsters and adults getting involved in the launch at Christchurch Park was brilliant and gave all spectators a small taste of what to expect this summer! Everyone watching – and running through the bubbles for the photos – were so excited and enamoured by the bubbles, I’m sure we’ll see them all back on 28 August for the actual event!”
The frothy foam has been tested and is safe and not harmful to anyone.
Miss Sheppard added: “There are so many fun elements to it, from the crazy coloured bubbles and their different scents; to the Zumba warm up. It will be great fun for all and is the first of our events that anyone of any age can take part in, from babies in buggies, to senior citizens!
“It will be fantastic for any age bubbler taking part and I’m really looking forward to seeing lots of families and groups of friends and colleagues diving through the bubbles this summer.
“All the money raised from the event will go towards helping improve life for people in Suffolk living with a progressive illness such as cancer, motor neurone disease, and heart failure.”
