WHAT IS THEROCKINR

We are a registered charity in England and Wales 1178420, Scotland SC049525. Founded in May 2018, in memory of Reece ‘TheRockinR’ Miree. We provide a distraction whilst minimising the effects of stress and anxiety through the power of gaming for young patients in hospital.

Who We Are

Founded after losing our 11-year-old son in March 2018 to a DIPG brain tumour. TheRockinR was Reece’s online gamer-tag. Throughout Reece’s hospital visits, we identified there were specific ways interactive gaming could help young patients.

Our Work

We help to reduce the impact of hospitalisation on young patients and their families. By offering a welcome distraction to treatments and procedures, giving a sense of normality, promoting social interaction whilst maintaining joy and contentment.



Why It's Important

Medical treatments can often be a scary and isolating experience, especially for young patients. There is a special need for age-appropriate coping tools in hospitals, interactive gaming offers a huge range of benefits throughout the medical enviroment.

WE’RE HELPING 54,750+ CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE PER YEAR!

We help healthcare professionals communicate more effectively with children and young people whilst minimising stress and anxiety for patients receiving treatments and procedures in hospitals.

OUR INSPIRATION

It was Reece’s love of gaming that was the inspiration behind the charity. Throughout Reece’s hospital visits, we identified specific ways interactive gaming and technology could help young patients

Six weeks into Reece’s terminal diagnosis, he told us “how he would someday put his name on the map”. Sadly, just 7 months later he lost his precious life to brain cancer.

17th May 2018, TheRockinR was founded. We now provide a welcome distraction whilst giving fun and smiles to young patients throughout the UK, and for sure, Reece is putting his name on the map.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Mrs Julia Mary Hagreen

These gaming carts are such an amazing distraction for children awaiting surgery or receiving treatment …Fifi LOVES the Lego game on this – she smiles and laughs when she’s surfing on a pig’s back

I’ve wheeled it into her room a few times when she’s “bored” on an evening and it makes her happy x. On the 4th September 2018, Fifi was happily playing this whilst we felt sick with apprehension at the biopsy surgery. The most important thing is the kids smiling and being happy and Reece’s family have done a fabulous thing in their son’s name xx
