In 2011 our dear friends the Nelsons got the worst possible news about their son Reece, he had a brain tumour. After a courageous battle, he sadly passed away in Sept 2012 aged just 8 years old. For all that were lucky enough to know Reece, they will remember what a gorgeous, caring, funny and adventurous boy he was. 

Reece should have been celebrating his 21st birthday in Oct 2024… which is what has inspired me to mark the occasion by raising as much as I can in his memory.

Thanks for reading my story…. Wish me luck as I’m going to need it!!!
