Story
Remembering Reece has been set up in memory of Reece Chambers, an amazingly brave, kind and funny little man. Reece was so well loved and known for his sunshine smile and loving nature.
Reece was diagnosed with T-Cell ALL at 14 months old in January 2016. He endured very high doses of chemo, radiotherapy and ultimately a bone marrow transplant. Throughout all of the treatment and lengthy hospital stays he found ways of having fun, never complained and remained his happy, gorgeous, superhero self.
Unfortunately he relapsed again post transplant and passed away on 26th September 2017. He is forever two, forever loved and forever missed.
Reece missed out on holidays with his family during treatment due to low immunity levels. Quality time with family, and having fun when you are able to is so important. It's needed even more so when going through the most terrible time of your life.
Our aim is to provide a caravan at a park site which families going through treatment will be able to use for free. Once we have fundraised enough to buy a caravan we will take referrals from our local hospital and John Radcliffe in Oxford to provide this. We are using crowd funding to raise an inital £5,000 needed to become a regustered charity. We can then approach companies for help with an aim of raising around £45,000 for a caravan.
