Some people truly take Milly’s Smiles into their hearts, and Andy and his family are one of those special few.
After Andy’s daughter Darcie received a Milly Bag on Ward 86, the Tobutt family have spent the last 12 months doing the most incredible fundraising and awareness-raising on our behalf. We have been overwhelmed by their kindness and support.
Andy’s school, The Co-op Academy Walkden have gone above and beyond with a range of unique and brilliant fundraising events over the school year. We were thrilled to be invited to their recent Celebration Evening, where we were proudly presented with a cheque for £3,180.13!
Darcie’s school, Leyland St James Primary, also joined in to show their support, holding a dress in Orange Day last week. All the staff and pupils wore something orange and donated to Milly’s Smiles. They raised a fantastic £751.75. We were especially thrilled to have our Chair of Trustees, Gemma, attend to talk about Milly’s Smiles.
In April this year, Andy took on his own challenge of completing the London Marathon, which he did whilst also raising a massive £6800.00.
We are so grateful to this amazing family, their support has been phenomenal, and will make such a difference to us. We are also so happy to share that Darcie is doing incredibly well with her treatment and is looking forward to her summer holidays.
Thank you, Andy, Darcie, and the whole Tobutt family. Your support means the world to us.
