The challenge took place on a personalized unicorn pedal boat, dubbed the “Tallulah Sparkle Party” by Radio X listeners.

Along the way, Toby was joined by other Radio X presenters such as Johnny Vaughan, Dan O’Connell And Rich Wolfendenwhile our hero was joined by some of the people he wanted to help, including Steve and Emilia who had received support from the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Foundation.

The week ended with The Chris Moyles Show live on location, with Chris, Dom, Pippa, James and the team welcoming a delighted Toby to Putney Pier.

Many listeners were also on hand for the big moment, which saw Toby greeted with his favorite drink… a Guinness of course!
