Footy mad boy from Sunderland needs your help

Post by daib0 »

The Sunderland admin lady on the Black Cat Chat forum has asked me if I could reproduce this on more forums ... so please do take a read and go to the link underneath. Any spare pennies would be really welcomed... but equally a message on any social network would be a good help too.



Here it is:

"Bradley Lowery is a Sunderland mad lad who loves his footy. Unfortunately, Bradley also suffers with a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma, which can only be treated in the USA. In order to get there, Bradley's family need to rase more than £700,000, and we intend to help him get there and to help him continue to roar the Lads on for many more years to come! If ever there was a young lad deserving of your help and ours, then Bradley is that young lad. We aim to do our bit to help get this young boy the treatment he so richly deserves. Please, help us to help Bradley. Any and all donations are welcome."

Did you see, Everton Football Club donated 200k to this fund at their game v Sunderland on Monday.
I once played against Don Revie.

Everton do seem to do things well in situations like this, a really good gesture.

Just read on the BBC site the target has been achieved. Bradley was a mascot for the Sunderland Everton game on Monday night. Everton made a donation of £200,000 to help the appeal.

Good luck to the little fella for his treatment.

Sadly, social media and the family of Bradley, are reporting that his cancer has spread and that the little fella is receiving end of life care.

Thoughts, and prayers, with the family this evening.

Sad news indeed, thoughts go out to the lad.
