Colour rush team raises funds for Harry's Rainbow in Milton Keynes

A team from Linford Wood-based marketing and communications consultancy, elliotts Agency, has raised £645 for local children's charity, Harry's Rainbow, after tackling this year's MK Colour Obstacle Rush at Willen Lake.

Eleven team members braved a barrage of colour and water across the three mile course to raise funds for the charity, which aims to support young people and families who have been bereaved through the loss of a significant loved one, following the recent support it provided to a colleague.

Elliotts finance manager, Cindy Wallis, personally experienced the vital support Harry’s Rainbow provides when her son was grieving the loss of his father, Cindy’s husband. After hearing how the charity cared for Cindy’s son, the elliotts team wanted to give something back by raising as much as possible for the charity and its work.
