The charity is named after Christopher "Cookie" Coutts who died after a valiant fight with Hodgkin's Lymphoma aged 19.
[1] The foundation got involved when hearing that Leon, battling a rare form of incurable cancer, was rejected insurance for one of his final wishes to fly to Orlando for a holiday with his family.
[2] The Cookie Jar assisted by seeking out alternative methods of getting the insurance from the United States in order to secure the family's holiday together.
[4] A year later Tom ran the London Marathon without intense training to represent the fight that Christopher gave towards his illness.
[5] The 5 Ferry Challenge was organised by the Edinburgh law firm MacLay, Murray and Spens (MMS) and took place on Saturday 30 May with a mixed group of 25 participants from MMS family and friends and cyclists.
