Poorly adults help by Bradley’s Foundation

-

The Bradley Lowery Foundation has announced that it is now able to offer support to adults with lifethreat­ening and limiting illnesses.

The charity, which was set up by the family of Bradley Lowery, who passed away in 2017 after losing his battle with neu rob la stoma, has so far raised more than £3million for more than 80 ill children across the UK.

However, the charity has been able to provide support for adults who have been diagnosed with life-threatenin­g and limiting illnesses for which the NHS does not provide treatment.

That was until now, after a successful applicatio­n to the Charity Commission, and in collaborat­ion with partners including The Rutherford Cancer Centre, the charity is in a position to offer support to adults fundraisin­g for treatment.

Lynn Murphy, COO of the Bradley Lowery Foundation, said: “Since the foundation launched in 2017, we have receivedlo­ts of calls and emails regarding adults fund-raising for treatment, not available on the NHS.

“With limited to no options, we contacted the Charity Commission to see if we could extend our support to adults. They replied and have now given us permission to be able to support adults fundraisin­g for treatments not available on the NHS.

“If you, or someone you know is over the age of 18 years and is fund-raising for treatments not available in the NHS, please get in touch and see if we can help.”
