Story
Myself, Ollie Somers, Archie Somers, Annabel Whelan and Tori Claridge are taking on the challenge of driving 2,500km across the Indian Himalayas by tuk tuk unsupported, unguided and definitely unprepared. What could possibly go wrong....?
Having started at Camel Ski we have known Coco for a few years now. We absolutely adore her and want to do anything we can to show her how proud we all are and to help her and other children in similar situations.
Coco was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in January 2022.
Since diagnosis she has had weeks of hospital stays, multiple general anaesthetics, a port sited in her chest and endured months of brutal chemotherapy, still ongoing for another year and a half at least. She has lost her beautiful long blonde hair, had weeks where even standing is too hard and been unable to walk for prolonged periods of time.
This special little girl has amazed us all with her grit, her strength and her big smile through the toughest of times.
Childhood cancer is the biggest killer of children by disease under the age of 14 in the UK.
Treatment for this type of cancer is long, relentless and tough but thanks to a few special charities, the process is made that little bit easier.
All of the money raised will be donated to the following charities that have supported Coco and many others. (Young Lives VS Cancer & SuperShoes)

2 years agoHello all, We are back! Our instagram has been receiving some great messages from supporters and we all wanted to say another massive thank you. Having arrived back last night after a 45 hours journey home from India we are sufficiently exhausted. We are nearing our revised target of 20K so any help with our last push would be hugely appreciated. We also have a few more plans now that we are back so stay tuned and I will post updates on here as well as our instagram shortly! Tuktukforcoco team x

2 years ago8 days ago, we all embarked on this rather spontaneous trip together. Having given ourselves about 2 weeks to plan we knew this would be tough. The support we have received is mind-blowing. I genuinely cannot tell you how much all your generosity means to us. We wanted to do all we could for the charities which have supported Coco and we are overwhelmed by the response so far. £15,000 is simply unbelievable. Thank you all and we hope we can continue with this momentum to do even more. Please share this message! Tuktukforcoco Team
