Toby Peach is the perfect mix of professional and “real.” His captivating performance took our event to a whole new level. Toby without a doubt is the most memorable and thought provoking keynote we have ever brought to the Planetree International Conference on Person-Centered Care.
Lisa A Donnarumma, Chief Creative Officer, Planetree

Toby's performance was a unique and powerful way to express the range of emotions and experiences that patients and survivors experience on a cancer journey. It was a visceral and engaging way to close out CancerCon, our annual conference, that really resonated with our young adult attendees.
Chelsea Donahue, Program Manager, Stupid Cancer

The Eulogy is an absorbing and identifiable experience, that resonates with those like me who have had cancer whilst expertly communicating the sweetness and sadness of cancer treatment to other people who have not
Pelham Allen, former chairman of Bloodwise, leading UK Blood Cancer charity

His performance was hugely insightful filled with humour, tragedy and incredible energy....The eulogy is a wonderful expression of one persons experience as a 19 year old and the impact it has made on him over the years. We are privileged to spend an hour in his world where he reveals the most personal and sobering insights. It is a fantastic learning experience for his audience.
Mick Collins, Janssen
