HomeTreading WaterToby & Jackson

Toby & Jackson

Brothers Jackson Garden-Bachop and Toby Kennett open up about the grief their family has endured – a blended family with eight children who have so much love for each other.
Jackson lost his Mum Sue Garden-Bachop to leukaemia when he was 13, and Toby was almost 7 when his Dad Nathan Kennett died by suicide.
They speak about the grief and trauma they have had to deal with from such young ages.
Tragically and unexpectedly, on the 17th of June 2024 their brother Connor Garden-Bachop passed away due to a medical event, leaving a legacy of peace, love and positivity.
Jackson and Toby reflect on the tragedies that have shaped them, the ways they’ve found strength in their journeys, and the profound importance of family.
