Thank you for supporting RDF.
Since the Foundation was established in 2017, Rebecca's friends and family have been raising funds in honour of her important work with refugees and vunerable communites.
Rebecca Dykes was killed in Lebanon, on December 16th 2017, aged 30. A devoted humanitarian, at the time of her death she had been working as a Programme and Policy Manager for the UK's Department for International Development.
She worked tirelessly to make the world a kinder, fairer, safer and more stable place.

On the 26th September, we will be running in Manchester, the city where Rebecca graduated and was recently honoured as an Outstanding Alumni at the University. Every message of support will drive our team to cross that finish line as quickly as we can.
At Rebecca’s memorial, Cabinet Minister Penny Mordaunt, Secretary of State for International Development, said,
“Rebecca changed thousands of lives for the better, and if we judge her on those achievements, she achieved a lifetime’s worth”.
Thank you for contributing to continue her beautiful legacy.
