Story
Rhys’ Donation Foundation
https://www.rhysdonationfoundation.org/
The Rhys’ Donation Foundation was created in memory of Rhys Durham Flynn who sadly passed away on 12th March 2017, aged 16, after a 12 month battle with a grade 4 brain tumour.
After he passed away, Rhys’ mum, Vicky, and stepdad, Dave, together with a group of friends, vowed to do whatever they could to support other young people and their carers who are living with this devastating illness.
From this, Rhys’ Donation Foundation [RDF] was founded to help provide comfort and distraction through the provision of items that can help make living with cancer a little more bearable for young people, and to support their carers through help with some of the increased day-to-day costs that coping with cancer invariably brings.
In general, the aim is to provide items of individually modest cost (but, cumulatively, over a period of time, of potentially significant value) that are not available from other charitable organisations, which may provide some relief from the devastating symptoms of, and the side effects of treatment for, cancer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking to support the RDF as I have come to learn about the foundation through being colleagues with Rhys' mum, Vicky.
It's a great cause arising from a such a sad situation, which is slightly struggling for donations during the ongoing pandemic situation. Therefore anything we can do to raise and help support everyone involved, I know will go such a long way to helping those in need.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to help reach our goal I will be attempting a physical challenge of running a total of 160km in 1 month, between February 12th and March 12th 2021.
160km to celebrate the amazing 16 years of Rhys' life, and finishing on his anniversary.
This averages out at 5.7km a day or 40km a week - so it certainly should push my new found enthusiasm for running to the limit, and i will need your support!
I will be tracking all runs and distance on an app and will be posting regular updates for all interested.
Thank you in advance for your support!
