Hundreds of fundraisers head to Quex Park for first Thanet Bubble Rush
Hundreds of fundraisers took part in the first Thanet Bubble Rush at the weekend to raise money for Demelza.
More than 600 people went along to the event, which saw participants wade through 4ft walls of colourful bubbles as they made their way around the course.
It’s the 10th year the charity has been hosting the event, but the first time it has come to Thanet and it took place at Quex Park in Birchington yesterday (Sunday 1 June).
Among the participants was Dover-based social media star Arron Crascall, who shared videos of people enjoying the bubbles with his 4.6m Instagram followers. The event kicked off with a warm-up led by Birchington-based Quigley Theatre Arts and Whitstable samba band Samba Pelo Mar got the crowd going.
Participants then walked, jogged, ran, danced and toddled their way around the course, which was fully accessible and suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs.
Altogether, the event raised almost £17,000 for Demelza, which provides extraordinary care for extraordinary children with serious or life-liming conditions, and their families, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex.
