Toni Ilsley

In the depths of heartache, one local family found the strength to turn tragedy into hope. Surviving Grief with the Pack, is Toni’s follow-up to the poignant Never Give Up as she chronicles her late son Charlie’s battle with cancer. Clare Balding spoke last year about Charlie’s Place, the Sonning Common dog haven set up in his memory; now Pride of Reading honouree Toni joins us herself for this special event in aid of the Team Charlie charity, which supports local children with brain tumours.
