We are raising money for TOFS by taking part in a Teddy Toddle Walk with our amazing son, Brody, who was born with Oesophageal Atresia (OA) and Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF).

Within just a couple of hours of Brody being born, we received his diagnosis. At what was an incredibly overwhelming time, we were given resources from TOFS to help us understand the condition and what lay ahead, which is something the NHS itself does not provide.

At just 24 hours old, Brody underwent life-saving surgery to repair his OA/TOF. During this surgery, a complication with his bowel meant that surgeons also had to form a stoma. Now 15 months old, he has already undergone nine procedures under general anaesthetic.

Since then, he has continued to show incredible resilience, all with a smile for everyone he meets.

The work that TOFS does for families affected by OA/TOF is truly remarkable. From providing trusted information and practical guidance to connecting families who understand the challenges firsthand, their support has made a huge difference to us.

We are taking part in this Teddy Toddle Walk to give something back and help ensure that other families facing similar journeys can access the same support that has meant so much to us. Any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated and will help TOFS continue their vital work.

Thank you for supporting Brody and helping us raise funds for this incredible charity.
