Rylan
Rylan had been working on his N70 Hilux since before he had a licence. He had a long list of upgrades and one trip in his sights: the Cape.
Just weeks after his 18th birthday, he passed away from meningococcal meningitis.

Rylan's story, the Hilux and the shed his dad has kept open for the boys.
The Story
Rylan had been working on his N70 Hilux since before he had a licence. He had a long list of upgrades and one trip in his sights: the Cape.
Just weeks after his 18th birthday, he passed away from meningococcal meningitis.
His dad Tim is finishing the Hilux the way Rylan wanted it.
The plan is to take it to the Cape with the boys and lay Rylan's ashes to rest in the place he dreamed of reaching.
Tim kept the shed doors open for Rylan's mates. Now there's someone there most nights, working on a truck, asking questions or having a yarn.
It's a place to learn, help each other out and have someone to talk to.
Where The Money Goes
The boys are doing engine swaps, remapping computers and learning from each other. The next step is a hoist so they can get underneath their trucks and work safely.
Every GOLDY purchase helps equip the shed and keep those nights going.
100% of profits from GOLDY merch go to the shed. First up: a hoist. After that, the tools, gear and consumables the boys need.
Stay tuned to the GOLDY Instagram account, @goldys_n70, to see the hoist when it arrives and follow what happens at the shed.
Rylan wanted to reach 5,000 followers. Tim is carrying the account on as he finishes the Hilux. Give it a follow and help keep Rylan's story going.
