Watch: Born Unable to Swallow

To start off OA/TOF Awareness Week 2026, we’re happy to be able to release a new message from our Celebrity Ambassador, Tom Bright, highlighting the impact of OA/TOF and the work of the charity.

Musician Tom Bright was born with Oesophageal Atresia (OA) and Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF), rare conditions that meant he was born unable to swallow.

While life-saving surgery allowed him to survive, the journey didn’t end there.

Now, as a Celebrity Ambassador for TOFS, Tom is sharing his story to highlight the vital, life-long work of the charity. TOFS is the only organisation in the UK providing dedicated support to the 1 in 3,500 babies born with these conditions, as well as the adults they become.
