Story

This page is in memory of Tom Eckles who sadly passed away in 2015. Tom was loved by many, and to this day his group of friends still fundraise for Sarcoma UK. Toms friends (collectively known as The Bird) decided to shave their head to support their friend through his sarcoma treatment. They raised over £13,000 in a matter of weeks.

From there, his friends family and wider community have gone on to raise awareness and funds through multiple challenges and events.
