Hundreds Dressed as Santa Dash Brighton Seafront to Support Rockinghorse Kids

Santa Dash Raises Funds for Local Children’s Charity

This morning, 100s of Santas took over Brighton and Hove’s seafront for a festive 5km run. Each participant was urged to raise at least £20 for Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, a vital local cause supporting sick and disabled children across Sussex.

Rockinghorse: Lifeline for Sick Kids in Sussex

Rockinghorse backs babies, children, and young people — plus their families — at the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital and the Trevor Mann Baby Unit in Brighton. The charity also supports specialist children’s wards and baby units throughout Sussex.

Nearly 60 Years of Helping Kids

Founded in 1967 by Dr Trevor Mann, Rockinghorse is the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital. Over the decades, it has helped nearly a million children by funding lifesaving equipment, providing family support, creating child-friendly environments, and funding specialist staff.

Fancy helping out? Donate to Rockinghorse here and give Sussex’s kids a fighting chance this Christmas.
