Who We Are
Founded by Reece’s family. After losing our 11-year-old son in March 2018 to a brain tumour known as DIPG. TheRockinR was Reece’s online gamer-tag. Whilst Reece was staying in hospital, we identified there were specific ways interactive games could help children with hospital visits and appointments.
What We Do
We help reduce the impact of hospitalisation and illness in young patients whilst making them and their families feel at ease. By offering a welcome distraction to procedures and treatments, giving a sense of normality to those spending time in hospital whilst maintaining joy and contentment.
Why it's Important
