GLASGOW’S Bellahouston Park was transformed into a sea of frothing, foamy fun as 3,000 people took part in the annual Bubble Rush.

Organised by The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice (PPWH) in Glasgow to raise money for Scotland’s hospices, the 5K course around the park blasted entrants with cannons of coloured foam and bubbles along the route.

Hospice supporters of all ages, from tots to grandparents, made their way around the course, dressed in tutus, brightly-coloured wigs and giant sunglasses, declaring it a bubble-tastic success.

PPWH organised the event with participants supporting it and the other members of Scotland’s Hospices Together, including CHAS, Accord Hospice, Ayrshire Hospice, Highland Hospice, St Andrew’s Hospice, St Vincent’s Hospice, Ardgowan Hospice, St Columba’s Hospice and Strathcarron Hospice.

Bubble Rush entrants were split up into three waves before making their way around the route.

They dived into the coloured foam while dancing, walking and jogging along the way.

There were babies in buggies and big groups of families and friends all putting the fun into fundraising.

This is the third year PPWH has staged Scotland’s only Bubble Rush.

PPWH fundraising manager Ashley Thomson said: “We are absolutely delighted Bubble Rush has grown into this massive success. It’s a wonderful opportunity to be joining up with the other members of Scottish Hospices Together to fundraise.”

John Brady, head of fundraising at St Andrew’s Hospice in Airdrie and chairman of Scotland’s Hospices Together, added: “By working together, Scotland’s hospices have given participants a fun day, while raising money for vital hospice care in local communities all across Scotland.”

PPWH is building its new home on a site nearby in Bellahouston Park and doors will open later this year.

The hospice still has to raise £500,000 to reach the £21 million target of the Brick by Brick Appeal. To donate £5, text KITITOUT to 70660 or make a donation online at www.ppwh.org.uk/donate.
