Our story

We are a small team of middle-aged Dads who have come together to support two fantastic charities rooted in the East Midlands:

The Rainbows 🌈 Hospice provides care and support for babies, children and young people with serious and terminal conditions, and their whole family, across the East Midlands.

For more information about Rainbows please see:
rainbows.co.uk/how-we-help/what-we-do

The Osprey Leadership Foundation (OLF) helps to inspire and enable young wildlife conservation leaders along the Osprey’s flyway (spanning the UK to sub-Saharan Africa) to find their voice and deliver positive change to the world around them.

For more information about the OLF please see:
ospreylf.org

The Challenge:
We have set ourselves the challenge of finishing the Burghley7 - a 7 mile / 11.25km run in March 2025.

We will be supporting each other to cross the finish line and raise money for these two great causes over the next 3 months.

Any donations we receive will be split equally between the two charities.

If you would like to support us on the day, or join us on the run please contact us @ dadd4cc@gmail.com

Thank you for reading our page and please wish us luck!

Our updates

Hi everyone, I’m really pleased to say - We did it!

Despite a little bit of a chilly start 🥶, all three of us managed to work our way around the course and got to finish in front of Burghley House, which was really special.

We would like to reiterate our thanks for the fantastic support we have received and can’t wait to pass on your kind donations to Rainbow’s Children’s Hospice and the Osprey Leadership Foundation.

Hopefully this won’t be the last Dad Dash for Charity Cash….although we might need to leave it a little while to give time for our knees to recover 😉

Thank you all again for your generosity and support.

Best wishes from,
Jim, Marc and Tim
