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.
People have taken part in all sorts of events to raise money for Tom’s fund. In 2010, family friends the Panzers walked the Alps. They raised more than £1,100.

Supported by friends and family, she raised around £1,300.

Tom’s grandmother, Margaret Prosser, pictured left, is a member of the group, which held raffles, bring-and-buys and a book sale to raise the money.
