A FAMILY will celebrate their 12-year-old son winning his cancer fight by staging a fun day to thank the charity which supported them.

Rhys Goodwin, who is now in remission, was diagnosed with blood cancer Burkitt's Lymphoma in May 2012.

His mum Jayne and former Brecon High School pal Christine Phillips have organised the Saturday, August 31 fun day at the Brecon Show Fields to support Welsh children's cancer charity, Latch.

"Latch had helped us so much and I thought I wanted to give something back and Christine said why not do something together," said Jayne.

Saturday's event, which runs from 10am to 5pm, will feature horse and carriage driving demonstrations as well as stalls, a car boot sale, a bouncy castle and other attractions.

Entrance is free for children and only £1 for adults with all money raised to be donated to Latch. Donations can also be made at the family'shttp://www.justgiving.com/Rhys-Goodwin&quot">http://www.justgiving.com/Rhys-Goodwin" target="_blank">Just Giving pageand will be added to the total raised at the fun day.
