They are at the London marathon and on bbc news now. Still with the live go fund me in her bio. It’s actually disgusting!
I’ve reported their GFM now. It’s ridiculous they’re still trying to raise money. What exactly do they need it for now?!

No way! I lurk on this thread but had never looked into the parents with baby Ralphie as I’d not heard of them before, then I saw them on the marathon coverage yesterday (in their swanky house…) and I’ve just put two and two together. The dad’s brother is it? He was running for GOSH in general right? But they still have their GFM open?

Yeah posts about raising money for a cancer centre at GOSH and trying to raise awareness, but still the GFM in their bio links to their own personal GFM 🤢

Just found this thread. I NEVER donate to GFMs. I had a time in my life I really needed a helping hand and nobody got the online begging bowl out for me. They'll all just have to stay strong and keep their chin up... just like I did.

I wonder if it was true that Ralphie had a 30% chance of survival or if it was exaggerated to get the donations rolling in 🤢

You know something at this point I wouldn't be surprised. I know this sounds harsh and I apologise for even thinking it but these days when a child is diagnosed with life threatening illnesses, all the parents see is a money grabbing opportunity. It's beyond awful.

I think he genuinely had a very aggressive cancer and it is sad for that poor baby going through such major treatment.
Losing a child and then having a tiny baby with cancer must be awful. I cannot imagine thinking I’d want to cash in on that though!

Has anyone been reading the news about Sir Captains Tom Moore’s daughter?
She has now been forced to step away from the charity and now the charity is also no longer taking donations or making payments due to an ongoing inquiry into its finances. I truly believe Captain Tom raised money for good and with good intention - but now his daughter has destroyed his legacy with her own selfish greed.

Neither parent has mentioned what happened with the gfm money. I think she received some treatment from Germany but unsure how much that cost. Considering hes been on how many holidays in the last year and bought a house, yet cannot afford a headstone??? Also no GFM set up for this headstone… renais mum has shared nothing about it either 🧐

You're right, he seems to be living a very comfortable life with all his holidays an extravagant spending, the money has to be coming from somewhere. The mum has been away once I think since renai passed. I get the feeling she's innocent in all this though, an its the dad who's been shady with the money an the only one with access to it. Its one thing to ask for help towards treatment but I think it's a bit cheeky now asking the public to help raise money for the headstone.

Why wouldn’t you want to pay for your child’s headstone yourself? I appreciate some people genuinely can’t afford it but if you had the money, why wouldn’t you? It’s like the very last thing you can do for them ☹
