Super Toby’s Second Fight Against Leukaemia

I can’t believe we’re here again just 6 short months after finishing treatment the first time nor that the beginning of this treatment is starting on his 7th birthday.

We’re reaching out to our friends, family, and community for your support as our Super Toby faces acute lymphoblastic leukaemia for a second time. This diagnosis has turned our world upside down once again, and we're determined to be there for him every step of the way.

As you know I’ve been a passionate campaigner about the effects childhood cancer has on families, in particular the financial impact it has. Research carried out by Young Lives V Cancer shows that on average it cost £730 extra PER MONTH to have a child with cancer. With parking at the hospital costing £18 per day and the cost of fuel for a 2 hour round trip each way then it’s easy to see why.

The road ahead will be challenging, both emotionally and financially. The cost of parking, travel expenses, meals for us (parents don’t get fed in hospital and we only have a kettle and a microwave in the parents room) and other expenses can be overwhelming. We’re hoping to raise funds to help alleviate some of this burden and ensure that we can focus on supporting Toby while he receives the best possible care.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us keep our heads above water and brings us closer to our goal of helping Toby overcome this cruel disease for a second time at just 7 years old.

Lots of love

Nikki, Ollie, Sophie & Toby xx
