Moore House Completes the Holkham Hall Colour Run for Mind!
Five residents and the support team from Moore House in Norwich recently took on a brilliantly vibrant challenge, completing the 3K charity Colour Run at the historic Holkham Hall estate.
The team hit the track to raise funds and vital awareness for Norfolk and Waveney Mind, an organisation dedicated to delivering mental health services across our local community.
Teamwork, Cheers, and a Lot of Paint!
The day kicked off with a great sense of anticipation as the group gathered to receive their official event T-shirts and pose for a few team photos before heading to the starting line. The Holkham Colour Run is all about inclusion, energy, and a massive amount of bright, powdered paint showered over participants as they move through the estate's stunning parkland. Although it turned out to be a bit windy, the atmosphere remained incredibly cheerful. The route featured plenty of vibrant clouds of coloured powder, along with numerous rest areas and water stations to keep everyone moving safely and staying hydrated. It was a wonderful sight to see everyone fully committed to the distance. While some residents set a faster pace at the front, others did a brilliant job continuing the course with supportive staff prompts and plenty of verbal encouragement. Throughout the route, members of the public provided fantastic praise, and the group finally reached the finish mark to a massive round of cheers. The Moore House staff worked beautifully together to ensure the entire day ran smoothly from start to finish.
