Well done Tom.

Just a short note to say keep up the good work. And what is next on your list of things to do.

If you are anything like your dad You Will Suceed.

Buckers and Dawn you should be very proud of him. He is an inspiration to us all.

Just put in my contribution...looks like he will easily exceed his target. Well done. Can't for the life of me see why this isn't a sticky.

£29.758.50 as at 1635 - with a great showing from ppruners.

Buckers Snr was my Flt Cdr on XV. Those who know him will also know that Tom must have inherited some of his Dad's courage and fortitude.

Keep it up Tom - you are an excellent example to all.

Same as you JN Buckers was my Flt Cdr on XV. Great to see them both doing so well, and raising so much.

Well done Tom, hope your Dad can keep up!!

and now due to a truly stunning donation by some kind (anon) soul of £1000 - Tom has cracked his £30k barrier.

Well done Tom - Excellent effort

Awesome response chaps - thanks again. We don't need this to be kept at the top by some computer trickery, individual comment will do that.

This piece on ITV Tyne Tees is pretty emotional. If that stops working, go to itvlocal.com/tynetees and look for a topic titles 'Coast to coast charity cycle'. (I've emailed to explain the difference!) Or search the site for Tom Buckley.

An amazing young man.

Have visited his site and donated. It felt such an insignificant gesture compared to what he is putting himself through. I never cease to be amazed at how people like Tom cope with the hand they have been dealt.
He is truely inspirational and his selfless efforts will benefit many people who, like me, will not have the pleasure of knowing him.
