Team Tommi are joining the GOSH Race for the Kids in 2019 to help raise funds to create state of
the art facilities for patients, families and staff. GOSH holds a
special place in our hearts because our Tommi’s life has already been
saved once by the specialist team there, and now they are taking on the
challenge again. It’s time for us to give something back..

Who’s Tommi?

Tommi is my 9 year old awesome nephew and loves racing (karting and Formula 1 in
particular) and football. Laid back and mischievous, super competitive
and caring, honest and full of fun, this boy has character and he is
STRONG 💪🏼

In April 2019, our lives were turned upside down AGAIN when Tommi
relapsed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia after being 2 years clear.
Thanks to GOSH Tommi has received a new immunotherapy drug alongside
chemotherapy as part of a clinical trial to try to find alternative
treatments for children in his situation. We are grateful that there
were treatment options available to us as not all families are so lucky.
 His specialist team have created a cocktail of chemotherapy that will
hopefully get him to a strong enough remission for bone marrow
transplant. As we are in a real race against time, Tommi is fortunate
enough to have a bone marrow donor ready and waiting 😊 If all goes
well, Tommi will have received his new stem cells by the time the Race
for Kids starts in October.

We feel blessed to be in such safe hands with the expertise, care and support from such an amazing team at GOSH.

Please help us to raise some funds on behalf of Tommi and his family,
and even better, join us for a hop, run, scoot or walk around Hyde Park
on 12 October!! Grannies, aunts, uncles, cousins and dogs, all are
welcome!
