My Story…
Hi, I’m Toby and I’m part of the Candlelighter’s family. When I was 2 years old I was diagnosed with blood cancer and had chemotherapy treatment for 3.5 years. I was very young and don’t remember everything and maybe I thought it was just normal but as each year passed I gained a better understanding of just how sick I was. I certainly can remember all the visits to the hospital, the pokes of needles, the magic milk in the theatre that sent me to sleep, the sick bowls and the worry my mum and dad had. But I can also remember the fun days out with my family and spending time with other families that were just like mine at events that were organised by charities like Candlelighters. When I moved to Newfoundland Candlelighters were there for our family and they help us in lots of different ways. I’m going to do this fun run to show myself how far I have come and do it for other children affected by cancer to show them always have hope.
