Reuben’s Retreat founder appears on This Morning

Reuben’s Retreat founder Nicola Graham has appeared on ITV’s This Morning as the charity attempts to reach £1 million by the end of July.


Graham was interviewed on the TV chat show today at 11.30am today as the charity launched a push for the £35,000 now needed to reach the target.


So far the charity has raised £965,000 to buy and run a retreat in parkland in the Peak District, 20 miles from Manchester.


The fundraising follows the death of 23-month-old Reuben Graham in 2012 of a rare brain tumour.


Parents Nicola, ex-Red Sea Holidays, and Mike, who works for Celebrity Cruises, have already bought the building and plan to open a counselling centre next year.


But they need to raise further funds to renovate the building and provide accommodation for other families of children with life-threatening diseases.


Tha charity is urging members of the travel industry to help by texting BUIL23 followed by the amount (ie. £5) to 70070.
