Toby Piper's family say the support they have received over the past month has been amazing.
The Marton 5-year-old is in Starship Hospital in Auckland after last month being diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, an aggressive blood cancer that is affecting his kidneys and other organs.
Marton School and Rangitikei College have both held events to raise money, while Marton New World has also made contributions along with individual donations.
That, on top of more than $4000 donated through Toby's Givealittle page, has put the total donation at more than $6000.
Toby's mother Angela said the Marton community had come together for Toby.
