The Colour Rush,
which took place at Ripley castle, is a 5 kilometre run/walk to help raise
money to support St. Michael Hospice, in Harrogate.
The reason
we (Scouts, Cubs and Beavers) did it, was to raise money to help patients at
St. Michael Hospice, who need a lot of care and help. So, by doing the run thousands
of pounds were raised to help people at the hospice. 1st Marston
Moor must have collected between £350 and £500.This money will be used to
improve people’s lives who have been affected by terminal illness. 
The Cubs,
Beavers and Scouts from 1st Marston Moor did a 5 km run around
Ripley Castle where every kilometres there is an area where about 8 volunteers
throw paint at you, which is why at the end you look like a magical fairy in a
rainbow. At the 1st kilometre there was red paint, the 2nd
was yellow, green and blue after.
Some people
were completely coloured as they either rolled in the paint or they were the
volunteers who were caught in the clouds of paint.
I thought
that doing this run is one of the best ways to do exercise, have fun and raise
money for charity all at once. We had a Zumba warm up before the start but
there was cake and drinks at the end.
I would
definitely recommend this to you. I personally would rate this 9 out of 10. So
if you want to do something good, this is for you.
