Rhys is a 15 year old boy from pontarddulais with the biggest heart and so much braveness.
Rhys has been unwell for some time now with numerous trips back and forth the doctors, eventually rhys was sent to hospital for tests and the doctors discovered a brain tumor, rhys had the brain tumor removed and his parents had an agonising 2 weeks waiting for the results to come back. Devastingly for them all, the tumor was malignant and rhys has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
On monday rhys along with his parents will be travelling to london for a 6 week intensive course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The family are going to be seperated for long periods of time whilst rhys is going through his treatment. His younger brother jack has to stay home as he still has to attend school and will be travelling to london on occasion to spend time with his family and to see his big brother.
I am hoping to raise money to help rhys and his family through his treatment and to help with travel and living expenses while they have to stay in london for long periods of time, and getting jack back and fore to see his family. The family have so much going on so i would like to help relieve the financial worries that would arise being out of work while they fight to get rhys well.
A charity fundraising event is in the process of being arranged and raffle tickets will be on sale in due course with a range of amazing prizes kindly donated by the lovely people of pontarddulais.
Please help in any way you can and thankyou so much for taking your time to read rhys' story.
Lets help rhys fight!!!!!
