Family of boy, 13, who died the day after being diagnosed with cancer are doing something wonderful
Family of boy, 13, who died the day after being diagnosed with cancer are doing something wonderful Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been raised in memory of Tom Walker who died from leukaemia in 2018 Tom Walker, 13, from Monmouth, lost his life just day after being diagnosed with leukaemia (Image: Debbie Walker ) The impact of young Tom Walker's life, cut tragically short at age 13, is measured in the incredible resilience of his family and their determination to raise funds to help fight the disease that claimed him. Tom was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, a blood cancer in June 2018. That hammer blow for any family was followed by the devastation of Tom's passing just 24 hours later. He could not recover from an operation that was needed to begin his treatment. Since those terrible days Tom's family have helped to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for cancer charities in his memory. Tom's mother, Debbie Walker said his illness 'crept up on him'. She added: "As a friend recently said to me, it was never a fair fight - and that is what would have annoyed Tom the most. Tom Walker (centre), with his parents Debbie and Tim, along with sisters Holly, 13, and Emily, 11 (Image: Debbie Walker ) "He was always fair. He had an incredible sense of what was right and what was wrong. He would have taken anything on, but this was a very one-sided fight." Stay informed on the latest health news by signing up to our newsletter here Article continues below Tom was a student at the Monmouth School for Boys, and had participated in a Brecon Beacons Night Hike in March 2018, raising £700 for Cancer Research Wales, weeks before his death. Headmaster at Monmouth School for Boys, Dr Andrew Daniel, had described how Tom's death came as a 'terrible shock' for the school community. 'Immeasurable loss' "Tom's death came as a terrible shock for the whole Haberdashers' Monmouth Schools' community,' he said. "Tom was a very popular and caring boy, who had a fondness for rowing, was a very talented drummer and sang in the magical performance by the schools' musicians at St Peter's Basilica in Rome. 'His loss is still felt immeasurably by us all. The resilience of Tom's family has been remarkable, and they are an inspiration to all of us." Tom with his dad Tim (Image: Cancer Research Wales ) To honour Tom's memory, his sister, Katie Cameron, who was then the deputy head girl for Monmouth School for Girls, and the Monnow Swimming Club held a swimathon which was called 'Swim for Tom', on Sunday 6 January 2019. The event was supported by the Haberdashers' Monmouth Schools and Cancer Research Wales and had the aim of covering a total distance of 430km — the length of the River Wye, and back again. However, the event ended up surpassing that goal, with over 600 swimmers covering a total of 988km, raising more than £25,000 for Tom's Fund. The next year, Swim for Tom was held once again on January 12, 2020, with over 500 swimmers raising more than £15,000 for charity. The fundraising done in Tom's memory has had a material impact as well. The first £100,000 raised by Swim for Tom 2019, and several other events were used to fund a PhD research post which was then taken by Theo Morin. In 2024, Theo completed his research thesis at Cardiff University, titled "Engineering Optimal T-Cells for the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia", in a bid to increase understanding of the disease. A swimathon that was held in memory of Tom In 2023, Tom's Fund was able to generate £200,000 with a second £100,000 being raised to help with the funding for two glioblastoma tumour projects. To find out more on how this funding was spent click here . Swim for Tom is returning again this year and will be held on Sunday, June 29 at the Monmouth School Sports Centre. Tom's Fund is inviting 480 swimmers to meet its target distance of 587km, which translates to 23,480 lengths of a 25m swimming pool, and is the distance between Monmouth to Edinburgh. Once again, the proceeds from the event will be used to raise funds for Tom's Fund at Cancer Research Wales. Along with swimming, the event will also be running a cafe which will be selling homemade cakes, drinks, and other goods as well as a raffle. Article continues below There will be a maximum of 8 swimmers per lane in an hour, with the outer lanes being designated as slow and fast lanes, and the other two being designated for any other swimmers. People can also register as lane counters. Once you have selected your role and a lane, you will be asked to pay £10, which will go to Tom's fund for supporting cancer research.
