When Ruddi was just six and a half months old he was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Following a year of intensive treatment including a three month stint in an American hospital, Ruddi finally went into remission.

For the two years whilst Ruddi was battling through the effects of Chemotherapy and all that comes with it, Candlelighters Charity kindly gave Ruddi and his family a one week holiday at Primrose Valley Caravan Park. This holiday helped the family to spend some much needed quality time together and was where Ruddi took his very first steps!

Unfortunately, when a child enters remission most of the charitable funding is stopped, however, the after effects on the family are sometimes only just beginning, thus making it more or less impossible to afford a holiday.

Ruddi’s Retreat are now proud owners of two beautiful static caravan’s at Primrose Valley in Filey, Yorkshire. The first caravan opened in February 2012, the second in June 2013. Both their caravans are fully modified to cater to the needs of their visitors.
