Ride & Ralk for Rainbows 2025 - Walking for Love, and with Purpose: Geraldine’s Ride & Ralk for Rainbows Journey
Meet Geraldine Lee – a former child of Club Rainbow and now a beacon of strength, compassion, and resilience. Born with congenital heart disease, she grew up alongside her sister as part of the Club Rainbow family. From family outings to overseas adventures, Geraldine fondly remembers the care and community that Club Rainbow provided through every milestone of her childhood.
Last year, Geraldine participated in Ride & Ralk for Rainbows for the very first time. What sparked her journey was deeply personal: the passing of her beloved sister in late 2023 due to heart failure. “We were both Club Rainbow children,” she shares. “I wanted to honour her memory in a meaningful way—and giving back to the organisation that stood by us felt like the right step.”
That single step grew into something powerful. Despite facing physical limitations due to her health, Geraldine committed to walking, carefully pacing herself through short distances. One of her most touching moments? A 3.5km walk with her anxious little dog – stretching over 1.5 hours, filled with breaks, love, and determination. “It reminded me that every small step counts,” she says.
The experience exceeded all her expectations – friends and family rallied behind her, helping her hit her fundraising goal within just 24 hours. Her efforts even earned her the Top Fundraiser award. “It was incredibly heartwarming,” she reflects. “It showed me just how powerful a community can be.”
To Geraldine, Ride & Ralk for Rainbows isn’t just about fitness or fundraising – it’s about honouring memories, sharing hope, and walking in solidarity with children facing chronic illnesses. “Every step taken is a gesture of love,” she says. “Even if you can’t walk or cycle far, doing it with heart makes all the difference.”
Her message to newcomers? “Go for it! If you’re able-bodied and can walk or cycle, do it with the Club Rainbow children in mind. Every kilometre helps brighten a child’s life.”
