Seventh-annual Rally for Rhyan game continues to evolve
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ )
The seventh annual Rally for Rhyan game raised more than $50,000 for pediatric cancer research and this year the Loos family will also be putting half of the proceeds towards the construction of Mizzou's new women's and children's hospital.
The $52,000 that former Mizzou men's basketball assistant Brad Loos and his family raised on Saturday adds to the more than half a million dollars that the Loos family has already raised for cancer research.
"You know, we started this thing and we had hoped to raise $10,000 and we thought that we be amazing," Loos said. "There aren't words for how thankful we are."
The 2022 edition of the Rally for Rhyan matchup marked the first annual game that now 11-year-old Rhyan Loos has attended totally cancer free. In November of 2021, the Loos family announced that Rhyan will no longer require any scans related to the stage four neuroblastoma that she was diagnosed with at age five.
"For the doctors to say, you know what she's good and we no longer thing this is necessary, it's definitely a huge turning point for our family," Brad Loos said.
