Meet Ruddi - The Inspirational young man behind this charity

Picture
Ruddi - The inspiration behind the charity.
When Ruddi was just six and a half months old he was diagnosed with a rare cancer.  Following a year of intensive treatment including a three month stint in an American hospital, Ruddi started to go into remission.

For the two years whilst Ruddi was battling through the effects of Chemotherapy and all that comes with it his family were given a one week's holiday at Primrose Valley caravan park from a huge charity Candlelighters. The holiday helped the family to spend some quality time with each other. However, when a child enters remission most of the charitable funding is stopped, yet unfortunately the after effects on the family are sometimes only just beginning, thus making it more or less impossible to afford a holiday.

We now own a beautiful static caravan at Primrose Valley in Filey Yorkshire... We want to give families a break here.. Application's via the contact us tab.
