Fundraising Hero,<br />
Lewis Rennie<br />
In the wake of tragedy, rugby became a<br />
source of solace for Graham and Lewis<br />
Rennie after losing their son and brother,<br />
Callum, to cancer. Graham found purpose<br />
coaching the Minis at Larne <strong>Rugby</strong> Club,<br />
while Lewis played for the team. <strong>Rugby</strong><br />
provided them with moments of respite<br />
from grief, offering a shared passion and<br />
valuable time together.<br />
Inspired by Callum’s memory, Lewis<br />
fundraised for The Big C Foundation NI,<br />
supporting children with cancer. Their<br />
efforts gained momentum, raising over<br />
£16,000 and achieving charity status.<br />
Grateful for community support, the<br />
Rennies continue their mission, providing<br />
essential resources and support to children<br />
undergoing treatment.<br />
In recognition of their dedication, Bank of<br />
Ireland arranged a special day at Kingspan<br />
Stadium, where Lewis met his local hero,<br />
<strong>Ulster</strong> player Ben Moxham. Despite their loss,<br />
Graham and Lewis find joy in family time and<br />
outdoor adventures, with rugby serving as a<br />
constant source of strength. Lewis is currently<br />
undertaking a new fundraising challenge, the<br />
7 Peak Challenge, aiming to climb Ben Nevis<br />
in the summer.<br />
In the spirit of the Origins Round, the <strong>URC</strong><br />
along with <strong>BKT</strong> have kindly let Lewis present<br />
the Player of the <strong>Match</strong> medal this evening.<br />
