Fundraiser for Bradley’s charity
The first anniversary since Bradley Lowery lost his battle against cancer will be marked with a fundraiser to remember him.
The six-year-old Sunderland fan, who lived in Blackhall Colliery, died on July 7 last year after he developed neuroblastoma cancer for the second time.
By August, the Bradley Lowery Foundation (BLF) was set up and has been working to support families with sick children as they seek support and treatment.
Bradley’s mum Gemma has announced there will be a run of days under Cancer Has No Colours banner to mark a year since he “went to be an angel”.
The fundraising appeal will take place from Friday, July 6, to Saturday, July 14, when people will be invited to wear a football top at their school or place of work in return for a £1 donation.
She said: “We have a big Cancer Has No Colours campaign coming to remember Bradley and celebrate his one year memorial.
“Last year at Bradley’s funeral I was amazed how many people came together to wear their football colours for Bradley.
“So I’m asking this year to remember my boy but to also help the foundation continue to grow and help more children.”
Any schools or work places who would like to take part can contact the foundation through its Facebook page.
