TheRockinR was founded in memory of 11-year-old Reece ‘TheRockinR’ Miree. Throughout Reece's hospital stays and visits, we identified there were specific ways interactive games could help children whilst spending time in the hospital. Undergoing medical treatment can often be a scary & isolating experience, especially for young patients. There is a special need for age-appropriate coping tools in hospitals, interactive mobile gaming and technology offer a huge range of benefits throughout children’s and young people's medical environments.

If my younger self was ever admitted to hospital in an unfortunate situation, this is exactly what I would be doing to take my mind of things.

EDIT (17/12/2024): The goal was reached before we've even streamed the 12 hours! I've now adjusted the goal.

£5,400 will provide two new medical gaming devices.
