Around the world in 80 donations for Teddy

Why we're fundraising

Join us on a heart-warming journey to support Teddy, a spirited four-year-old from West Sussex who's facing an extraordinary battle. Teddy's passion for trains is only surpassed by his boundless energy and infectious laughter. He adores everything about trains—riding them, watching them, and playing with his treasured train set. His absolute favourite? Thomas and Friends!

In July 2022, Teddy's world took a devastating turn when he was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer. At the time of diagnosis, the odds of long-term survival were a challenging 40-50%. But Teddy is a brave little fighter, known for his chatter and his rendition of the Thomas theme tune to the delight of nurses and doctors.

Teddy’s parents, Katherine, and Alastair are on a mission to secure potentially life-saving treatment that isn't available through the NHS. Their goal is to achieve remission for their beloved son or, if all goes well with his initial treatment, to prevent the cancer from returning. The life-saving treatment they seek is a ground breaking vaccine that could empower Teddy's body to combat the cancer independently. The cost of this treatment ranges from £250,000 to £300,000.

In the spirit of "Around the World in 80 Donations," we invite you to be a part of Teddy's incredible journey toward healing. Your support will make a profound impact on his fight against neuroblastoma. Together, we can help Teddy continue to enjoy his beloved trains and experience the joys of a healthy childhood.

But here's where the adventure gets even more exciting! We have a special challenge for our offshore contractors. After making your generous donation, print out your very own Teddy. Capture the magic by taking a captivating underwater photograph with Teddy, whether it's during your deepest dive, in the most exotic locations, alongside the ship's captain or anywhere you are offshore. Let's make Teddy a globetrotter and spread his story far and wide!

Once you've taken a picture, submit it, and the best view will receive exclusive Hydro Energy Group merchandise as a token of our appreciation! It's a chance to not only support Teddy's journey but also win some fantastic rewards. Every donation brings Teddy one step closer to his destination, and with your help, we can ensure that he reaches it with hope, love, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Thank you for joining us on this remarkable journey.
