Fundraiser - Laura Hammond’s Great North Run for TOFs

Story

Hi, my name is Laura and I’m running the Great North Run this year on behalf of our little boy Seb and a charity very close to our hearts - TOFS.

Seb was born with a lifelong condition called Tracheal Oesophageal Fistula & Oesophageal Atresia (TOF/OA). Essentially this means he was born unable to swallow.

The hardest part with this condition has always been the fear of the unknown so having the support and advice from the TOFs charity and parents in a similar situation to ourselves has been invaluable to our journey. I know as the years go on, we will continue to lean on this fantastic network of people to help us through trickier times so donating anything you can will go such a long way to help this hugely personal and worthwhile cause.

Please see the link below for more info on the charity and condition. Here’s hoping I’m able to make it over the finish line!

TOFS - TOFS (Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula Support)

TOFS offers support to people born with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF) and/or Oesophageal Atresia (OA). These are rare congenital malformaltions of the gullet and windpipe. Immediate neonatal surgery is a treatment, not a complete cure. We are UK-based and receive no public-sector support at all.
