I'm taking part in RideLondon in support of TOFS. TOFS is a charity set up for those born with conditions OA and TOF which stands for Oesophageal Atresia (OA) and Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF). OA/TOF are rare congenital conditions of the oesophagus (food pipe) and/or trachea (airway) that affects 1 in every 3,500 people. This is a charity which means a great deal to me and my family, As our son, Matthew now aged 34 was born with TOF.
A talented footballer at 6'4 and he's gone on to own his own estate agency in Gloucester and is a father of a lovely daughter with another child on the way. I hope this gives hope to those parents of children who have challenged with TOF, as Matt as not allowed his TOF stopping him from achieving things in life.
