    Story

    We are hoping to raise enough money to buy our 5 year old son Toby an *INCREDIBLE* TinyTrax motorised wheelchair to give him the freedom and mobility he craves and deserves.

    Since birth Toby has faced life changing challenges including a double lung transplant, major heart surgery, end stage kidney failure with nightly dialysis, polyneuropathy following extended time on life support and everything this all brings. Unfortunately on top of this he has just had his second stroke. Both strokes have affected his right hand side stripping him of any mobility he previously had. (This was already very low and totally dependant on help)

    A motorised wheelchair will change his life. He won't just be lifted, pushed and 'maneuvered'...he'll have the independence we all just take for granted.
    I'm finding it hard to put into words what this freedom would mean for Toby, but you can imagine! His life is ruled by things he's has no control over...it's time to change that!!

    Wherever Toby goes his smile lights up the room and people know his name. He's a total inspiration 😀.

    With your help a TinyTrax motorised wheelchair will be whizzing its way to him soon and making a HUGE difference in his life.

    Thank you for reading and for anything you can donate for Toby ❤

    Love, Mum & Dad

      Toby has his TinyTrax!!! 😃 A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who donated and helped make this happen! Toby's been whizzing around like you wouldn't believe today and just as hoped, we've seen more smiles, energy and cheekiness than at any time after his stroke. Every one of you are part of Toby's chair and every smile it brings. Yesss!!!!! So happy x Mum & Dad

      Well what a week!! Thank you so much EVERYONE, we've been blown away by the amount of support and generosity from friends, family, colleagues and kind strangers!! Not only has Toby reached his fundraising target, we were lucky enough to have a TinyTrax demo session today and Toby was brilliant! He reached straight for the joystick...and speed control(!!) and looked like a pro. He fits in the chair beatifully and the seating changes to grow as he grows. I've attached a pic below of his little trial. Today was a GOOD day! 😀 Love Mum and Dad

    Hi i'm Toby's dad Andy. Thanks for viewing Toby's page and hope you find his story inspirational. We do everything for Toby, but there's one thing love can't give...and that's giving him some independence and mobility. That's where we hope you can help!😊 x
