“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.
