TeamTorri
is a charity supporting children undergoing treatment for childhood cancer and their families in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire.
What we do
TeamTorri is committed to providing practical and financial support to children with cancer and their families in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. This includes supplying home essentials, equipment for care, travel assistance, and providing funds to support quality-of-life improvements or memory-making activities.
Our story
The charity takes its name from our youngest daughter, Torri who was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2018. She battled cancer for five and half years.​ Torri passed away on the 18 July 2023 and will be Forever 13. ​
​
Cancer took away her childhood but we all tried so hard to make as many amazing memories when we could. We also raised thousands of pounds for charities due to what she was going through so that others in the future may fair better.​
​
Losing Torri only makes us want to try harder to help other children and families going through what can only be described as your worst nightmare.
Who we work with
In addition to providing financial and practical support to local children and their families, TeamTorri also uses its funds to help other charities and organisations which support children with cancer. So far, TeamTorri has raised funds for Children with Cancer UK, Teddy20, Stars Appeal (Salisbury Hospital), Southampton Children’s Cancer Ward Piam Brown, Julia’s House Children’s Hospice and Young Lives Versus Cancer.
Children with Cancer UK
Each year, TeamTorri puts together a team of runners to take part in the London Marathon, raising funds for Children with Cancer UK.
Fundraisers and events
TeamTorri would not exist without the support of some amazing individuals and small businesses who commit their time and effort to raise vital funds for children with cancer.
