Bradley reunited with ‘best pal’
WELL-WISHERS SEND LOVE TO SICK YOUNGSTER
Bradley Lowery has been reunited with his ‘best pal’ after Sunderland and England star Jermain Defoe called in to see him.
The five-year-old, from Blackhall Colliery, is in Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary as he undergoes the next stage of his treatment for cancer.
He had been too ill to see him earlier in the week, when a visit from Jermain was called off because he was in hospital suffering from a high temperature and pain.
The pair were together again as the player called in to wish him well – and there was an extra surprise for him too as he was invited to be a guest at the Grand National on Saturday, April 8, at Aintree.
His mum Gemma wrote on the Bradley Lowery’s Fight AgainstNeuroblastomaFacebook page: “Bradley has still not been well today but he is a lot better than yesterday and he was cheered up off his friends popping to see him and giving him some lovely presents.
“He also had a huge smile on his face when I told him he has been invited to the Grand National thanks to the sponsors Randox.
“Bradley loves horses and is looking forward to going.
“Mammy loves getting dressed up so it’s a win win.”
