“Tom kept me going”

Vicky Pearson and Munson’s Coffee and Eats in St Mary’s Road, Ealing, have both been staunch supporters of Tom’s Fund over the years.

The two combined in May 2013 when Vicky, a family friend, was inspired by Munson’s barista Panayiotis Sinnos, both pictured above, to take part in the Ealing Eagles 10k. They were joined by Vicky’s niece, Lucy Gillet, and between them raised more than £1,700.

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.

BBC “thank you” to Claire raises more than £1,400

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.

The onesie challenge

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.
