RRFC wishes to support the Illes family who have always been supportive of our club for a number of years - now it's time to support them.

Rolleston, Canterbury

Rolleston Rugby wishes to support the Illes family who have always been supportive of our club for a number of years.

We are setting up a Give A Little page for Liam and Tyler’s Dad Rick Illes, who has recently been diagnosed with an incurable cancer. Both Liam and Tyler played their junior rugby with us and they played in our Division 2 team this year.

Any funds raised will assist with travel and parking costs to get to weekly treatments, day to day living costs due to restricted working hours for his wife Lou, and Rick's inability to work.

Any amount will assist with the financial burden that this family is facing.

If you can not donate and can offer support in any other way please message our Rolleston Rugby Football Club Facebook page, and we can arrange.
