Ian and Kristine Stacey are the organisers behind the auction.
In June 2009, when less than five weeks old, their baby required a heart transplant operation. Tom is the youngest boy to have had such an operation at the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), in London UK.
You can read more of their story HERE.

For the past ten years The Campaign for Drawing has dedicated the month of October to promoting the value of drawing for everyone. Events take place around the UK with all kinds of people participating, sending out the message that everyone can draw.
Saturday 10th October was the official Big Draw Day and a few of us did a quick drawing of a pig - the SWill mascot - in recognition of The Big Draw.
