KINGSWOOD Golf Course in Frankston will host a charity golf day next month to raise money for Ronald McDonald House.
The Rivers Round event is organised by the family of River Reid, a young girl who miraculously survived a bout with cancer.
River Reid was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma and HLH when she was just six months old. She endured 60 rounds of chemotherapy in the five months that followed and went into remission.
A fundraiser has been set up by Simon Reid. He said that the Ronald McDonald House was a “blessing” for the family and had provided “an opportunity to coordinate visits with River and mum who were constantly in the Childrens Hospital.”
“RMHC helped coordinate life in a time where the next minute was hard enough to comprehend. The love and support of the staff and those who have donated, provided a constant reminder that they were not alone and eased the burden in such a traumatic time,” he said.
Rivers Round will be at Peninsula Kingswood Frankston, 5 May. Golfing packages start from $295. Contact riversround2023@gmail.com for more information.
