The press achieved last year in awareness week brought a TOF families together. A grandmother of a TOF child saw the article in the paper and sought others on social media, and they are now active members of the TOF charity and community. The two boys (just 4 months apart in age) are now in contact with each other and will support each other through their lives. What an achievement! Here are the boys recently down the beach.
