A lovely story about the enduring legacy of one of Forster Private's former patients. Toby's legacy lives on through FBI - Forster Tuncurry Boardriders Inc. and the annual donations to support the oncology unit.

Thank you The Great Lakes Advocate for covering the story on a day that we were able to officially open our Healing Garden - a beautiful extension to our oncology ward. Thank you also to our friends at FBI - Forster Tuncurry Boardriders Inc. and the extended Flew family 💜
