Bobby’s Legacy: Toys for Sick Kids

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

In a heartwarming tribute to her late son Bobby, who battled stage four neuroblastoma with courage before passing at age three, Naheed Akhtar launched a massive toy drive with her “Team Bobby.” Collecting over 500 toys in just three months, they delivered joy to children at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, Christie’s Proton Beam Centre, and the StayCity Hotel. Kids picked their own toys and got goodie bags, while teens and parents received £20 cash and pocket hugs. Naheed called the day “mad” — chaotic, emotional, and overflowing with love — turning her son’s legacy into a beacon of hope for families facing childhood illness.
