Toby Duncan Hambolu, with his mum Katherine, needs cancer therapy abroad

He was diagnosed with infantile fibrosarcoma when he was just eight weeks old and faces a battle to survive.

Toby has already had the most intensive chemotherapy doctors in the UK can give him – but his devoted parents are refusing to give up the fight.
They believe he could be helped by immunotherapy treatment which is available in Boston, US, and also Barcelona in Spain.

He’s hardly begun life – there is no way that we are going to let it be taken away from him
The family are desperately trying to find the £200,000 needed to try to keep him alive.
Mum Katherine Duncan, 30, who lives with partner Isaac Hambolu, 29, in Didsbury, Manchester, said: “If Toby grows any more new tumours the consultant has told us that it wouldn’t be treatable. But we are not giving up on our son.
“He’s hardly begun life – there is no way that we are going to let it be taken away from him.
"That’s why we are fundraising to take him abroad for treatment. It is his last hope.”
