Next up in our Trustees Week celebrations is the incredible, Toby.
Toby, who is the charity Treasurer, has been part of Stargardt’s Connected since the very beginning and continues to bring energy and dedication to everything he does.
Why Toby chose the role: “I became a trustee almost by accident! I was asked to speak at a ‘Stargardt’s Day’ hosted by UCL and Moorfields in 2017, and us panellists decided to set up a charity on the back of it to support the community. It’s grown a lot since then, but I still do it to use my experience and skills to help those affected by the condition.”
Toby’s favourite thing about being a Trustee: “My favourite thing about being part of Stargardt’s Connected? I’d say three things, sharing experiences with other Stargardters, meeting regularly with lovely people, and feeling that sense of achievement as we expand our services and drive research forward.”
Fun facts about Toby: “I was once an extra playing a GI in Good Morning Vietnam, and I still participate in lots of sports including golf and skiing (yes, it’s still possible!).
Toby is also a fantastic fundraiser as he recently raised over £3,000 for Stargardt’s Connected by cycling tandem from Marble Arch to the Arc de Triomphe, an incredible achievement!
Thank you, Toby, for your leadership, positivity, and unstoppable commitment to our community!
