Cornwall Lions Clubs Support 2025 Rainbow Run for Children’s Hospice South West

Lions Clubs from across Cornwall turned out in force today to support the Children’s Hospice South West Rainbow Run, held at RAF St Mawgan near Newquay. This vibrant and colourful event, raising vital funds for children with life-limiting conditions, drew hundreds of enthusiastic participants and volunteers – including a strong contingent from the Lions family.

Newquay Towan Blystra Lions Club & Truro Lions Club, were among those proudly representing the international service organisation at the event.

Leading the local Lions team was Lion President Heather Stanley of Towan Blystra Lions, accompanied by Vice President Jon Collins. They were joined by fellow club members Tony, Sue, Jed, Phil, and Jill, all eager to support a cause close to their hearts.

“It’s always inspiring to see our communities come together in such a joyful way for an important cause,” said President Heather Stanley. “Children’s Hospice South West does incredible work, and we’re proud to play even a small part in helping them make a difference.”

The Lions Clubs assisted with marshalling, cheering on runners, and helping to keep the event safe and fun for all. Drenched in colour and community spirit, the day was another powerful example of Lions living up to their motto: “We Serve.”
