The Ruby Robins, headed by Nikki Hillier and Mandy Riggs in memory of their Dad - Robin Smith. Other team members are; Jackie Smith, Simon Hillier, Mark Riggs, Ben Riggs, Nick Felstead, Lisa Felstead, Elliot Potter, Lynda Potter, Jen Western, Natalie Wheldrake and Kiernan Easton.

Our Dad - Robin Smith - sadly passed away on the 22nd June 2012 after fighting a long and brave battle against cancer. He was in the Rowans for several weeks and the care he received from all the staff was outstanding, and we as a family will be eternally grateful to all the kind staff and volunteers, who do such a great job for patients and their families at such a difficult time. My sister Mandy and I, and indeed our whole team, would like to raise as much money as we can in memory of our wonderful Dad, who was taken too soon from our family and who will be so greatly missed.

We appreciate that in these times of austerity it is difficult for people to donate, but anything however small will make a huge difference to those like our Dad who are fighting cancer.

Many Thanks - Nikki Hillier
