Born in August 2016, brave Toby lived for only 212 days, 163
of which he spent in Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children having been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.  Despite
receiving incredible care his treatment was punishing for such a small baby and heart-breaking for his parents.  He fought so hard and for so long, his suffering shared every minute by his adoring Mum and Dad who did everything they could to take away his pain.  Even during periods of pain and discomfort Toby was so generous with his smiles and gave so much hope to all the people who loved him.  The doctors and nurses at GOSH could not have done more, giving Toby amazing treatments to help him fight this cruel disease. These incredible medics always wanted to do more and believe that gentler and more effective treatments will be possible in the future.  Research at GOSH needs funding to trial innovative approaches to the care of children with cancer, approaches which are less distressing for children and have better long term outcomes.  Cancer is the leading cause of death in
children in the UK and should be a priority for medical research.

As Toby’s Grandfather, I want to commemorate his short life
by raising money for research in the hospital which tried so hard to save his life.  I intend to cycle from Land’s End to John o’ Groats and during the ride to climb the highest peaks in Wales, England and Scotland.  My ride will start on 16th August 2017 which is the first anniversary of Toby’s birth and will take 6 days to reach Snowdon, then continue to the English Lake District where I will climb Scafell Pike and on to Scotland, climbing Ben Nevis and finishing at the northern tip of mainland UK after about 20 days.  Please help by making a donation in Toby's name. All of the funds raised will be used to fund new research to find better cures for the rarest types of cancer.
