It's March 23rd. This is Lester News today, your AI-powered local news. Seven-year-old Arin Bud from Milton in Lestershire passed away last June from a fast-growing, incurable brain tumor. Diagnosed 15 months earlier, her parents Jen and Chris learned she had just six to 12 months left as her symptoms worsened quickly. The family focused on making every moment count, taking her on holidays to Disneyland Paris, London Zoos, and theme parks. Arin met the red arrows, served as a mascot for the red roses that twicken him, learned to swim in ride horses, and even adopted a pet snake named Popcorn. Rainbows, hospice for children, and young people became a lifeline six months after diagnosis, offering arts, crafts, hydrotherapy, music, and play. Areas that are in a door. The hospice supported the family through her final days at home, including special care after she passed so loved ones could say goodbye. Parents Jen and Chris praised the hospice staff for their positivity and professionalism,
calling it a safe, happy place even in tough times. They credit rainbows for helping them cope then and now. Now the family is fundraising to honor Arin, who once raised 88 pounds herself. Community efforts have topped 4,000 pounds, and on Friday, June 19th, her Aunt Elizabeth will take on a wingwalk fundraiser, strapped, to a plane at heights up to 700 feet and speeds of 110 miles per hour, all to support other families through rainbows.
