Story
Pottsfest returns this year on the 1st July. Instead of bringing a bottle we'd love you to donate whatever you can afford to a very worthy cause. Molly chapman and her family have kindly asked that all proceeds from pottsfest go to a little boy named tobias who is suffering from a very rare form of cancer. All monies raised will go directly towards his specialist lifesaving treatment.
Tobias is the sweetest, happiest little baby, who loves to cuddle & play. He brings so much joy to his Mummy, Katharine, & his Daddy, Isaac.
When Toby was 8 weeks old, doctors found a lump in his stomach and he was admitted to hospital. After lots of tests he was diagnosed with Infantile Fibrosarcoma. Infantile Fibrosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant (cancerous) tumor that originates in the connective fibrous tissue & spreads rapidly.
Toby has tumours in his spine and his abdomen. Unfortunately, the first course of chemotherapy didn't work, and he grew three new tumours in a matter of weeks. Toby has now been placed on a more intensive course of chemotherapy, but his consultant has said that if it doesn't work, it will mean his tumour is chemo-resistant.
The next options available in the UK are bleak - either radical surgery with removal of organs, or radiotherapy, which can be very damaging for such a small baby. Mum & Dad have searched the world for another option, and came across a revolutionary medical trial taking place in the US and Spain, which uses a medication which directly targets the gene fusion that causes Toby's tumour. The trial has been getting really promising results, and could be vital for Toby.
Unfortunately even though the drug company has agreed to donate the cost of the medicine itself, the other parts of the treatment are extremely expensive. Costs could extend into the hundreds of thousands of pounds; far out of his family's reach.
This beautiful little boy deserves a chance of life. Please help and spread the word
