My girlfriend Kirsty showed me the story of Tobias who is the nephew of an ex colleague of Kirsty's
at 8 weeks old doctors had found a lump in Tobias' stomach and after lots of tests he was diagnosed with Infantile Fibrosarcoma. this is a very rare cancerous tumour that spreads rapidly. Tobias currently has tumours in his abdomen and spine.Unfortunately, the first chemotherapy Toby was put on 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 England are bleak - either radical surgery with removal of organs, or radiotherapy, which can be very damaging for such a small baby.
Katharine and Isaac 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.
But they've been dealt a blow, as while 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.
So after a sleepless night wondering if there was anymore I could do than just donate I decided to contact Tobias' parents and ask if I could run the Manchester 10k in honour of Tobias and donate all I raise to their great cause. I have been given the greenlight so I am now asking my friends to help support me in helping Tobias' family get the treatment he needs.
