And what an incredible result! π€© Toby brought home one Gold and four Silver medals, including Gold in the 400m freestyle β his favourite event! π₯πββοΈ
The European Transplant Games are a truly inspiring event, bringing together more than 1,000 organ and stem cell transplant recipients from 24 countries, with competitors aged from 8 to 80. πβ€οΈ
Tobyβs journey has involved many challenges including pain, medical appointments, seizures and operations, making this achievement all the more remarkable. His determination, resilience and commitment to swimming are an inspiration.
