Reid Foundation

Motivated by his daughter River's recovery from Stage 4 Lymphoma and HLH at just six-month-old, Simon decided to establish the Reid Foundation Limited. Witnessing River's positive response to 60 rounds of chemotherapy over 5 months, he was inspired to help other families facing challenging times, particularly those staying at Ronald McDonald House.

Ronald McDonald House played a pivotal role in the Reid Family's experience, providing a practical solution to coordinate visits with River and her mum while they were at the Children's Hospital.

The support from the Ronald McDonald House community and donors made a significant impact, easing the burden during a challenging time. Grateful for the comfort, care, and compassion they received, the Reid Family recognises the lasting effect the Ronald McDonald House Charities had on their lives. In establishing the Reid Foundation, Simon’s aim is to extend that support to others facing similar situations, fostering hope and community for families dealing with serious illnesses.
