The unicorn has already been seen in Dedham and Manningtree and will be popping up in Clacton, Frinton, Rowhedge and Harwich before the challenge finishes on 12th March.

Kayleigh said:

“I am prancing around the beautiful Essex countryside and coast dressed as a unicorn with a flowing rainbow mane, raising money for the incredible St Helena Hospice in its 40th anniversary year. 

“Working there, I see firsthand the vital support they give to families facing bereavement and incurable illnesses. It's an essential service and one I, or someone I love, may need one day. 

“I want to help ensure St Helena Hospice is there for all of us in the future.

“Whether you want to donate a few quid or join me for a mile or two for magical mayhem, it would greatly appreciated!”

There is still time to take part in the 40 in 40 Challenge where participants set their own challenge to raise £40 to support local people in need of hospice care.
