5 years…. I remember it like yesterday but it feels like a lifetime. We continue to build a legacy we hope Tom would be proud of, funding research into acute myeloid leukaemia and most recently into brain tumours with Cancer Research Wales. Please help us to continue the work that Tom started. Every penny goes into research. Every penny makes a difference. You can register at https://justgiving.com/team/walkfortom23 xx
