After losing their son Callum in May, the Rennie family wanted to help other children living with cancer – in memory of their little boy
After losing their son in May, the Rennie family wanted to help other children living with cancer, in memory of their little boy.
Andrene said: "We were lucky that Callum was still able to use a pushchair as he was a toddler, however for older children this isn’t an option and we know how hard it is to get specialised equipment. Last October, we started the process of trying to get Callum a wheelchair suitable for going out and about, but it wasn't until April of this year that it arrived, and he only had use of it for around eight weeks before he sadly passed away.
"It was such a shock to find out that some families can wait up to 10 months for a wheelchair to be made available and until then, a child has to be carried or put into a kids buggy that they are too big for. Families normally have to buy or rent a wheelchair and this is another burden when you’re already under financial pressure.
