7 years agoUPDATE: Since it's been confirmed that the Council will pay for a replacement park bench for Toby, Vicki asked me to transfer the Just Giving funds that we raised to an appropriate charity, in accordance with the wishes of Toby's family. I'm pleased to confirm that we were able to donate £470 this evening to the Brain Tumour Charity. Personally, I think that's an amazing amount. If you would like to find out more about the work the charity does please click: https://www.thebraintumourcharity.org Thanks to all who donated.
