Raising funds for TWO medical gaming cart in Layton's memory
Fundraising for TheRockinR Gaming Charity
Story
In January 2021 our son, Layton passed away in ICU at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Charity after being diagnosed with mitochondrial disease in December 2014.
Layton was just 14 when he passed away and, just like any other teenager, he loved playing video games on the latest consoles.
So, this Christmas, we've team up with the fantastic team at TheRockinR charity to purchase a Medical Gaming Cart in Layton's memory.
On average, 6 children per day will use a gaming cart which means 2,190 children per year will benefit from having access to one. And thats just ONE cart! Imagine if we we're able to fund more?
Many of you will never of heard of TheRockinR, and even if you're unable donate, PLEASE read the story behind this charity, follow them on social media and share their posts.
We understand that times are hard and that everyone is feeling the pinch with increasing costs of everyday living.
Every contribution helps, how every little, how ever much.
James and Michelle 💔
*** UPDATE - 26/12/2023 ***
Thanks to the generosity of family, friends, colleagues, clients and suppliers etc, we reached our original target of £1,980 in under 3 days.
This will enable us to purchase one gaming cart for the ICU at RMCH.
We've now DOUBLED our target to £3,960 to see if we can raise enough money to purchase a SECOND cart for Rainbow 🌈 Ward at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan where Layton also spent some time.
