Tessa Gomm is a family friend and she and Tom shared many a laugh.
In March this year, Tess, pictured centre, decided to give the Hastings Half Marathon a go – not only did she succeed in completing the event but she also raised the best part of £900.
Claire left the BBC in March 2013 after more than 28 years and colleagues old and new raised more than £1400 to mark the occasion.
The idea to raise money for CRY came from members of the Journalism Trainee Scheme, pictured above with Claire.

One of Tom’s best friends, John Stanton, pictured towards the back in a rather fetching green outfit, was among apprentices at Ealing Council who took on a “wear a onesie to work” challenge to raise money for CRY.
The event, part of the 2013 National Apprenticeship Week in March, saw a 12-strong team raise more than £1,300.

In the run-up to Christmas 2010, Tom’s friend Luca Fruzza, along with Rory Lehane, played a 48-hour gaming marathon against the clock to raise money for Tom’s Fund.
Such was the success of the event that they held a follow-up a year later.
