The Bradley Lowery Foundation is developing Super Brad's Pad – a holiday home for children with life-threatening illnesses being built by the Foundation in Scarborough.
Before his death, Bradley's family and friends pledged to cement his legacy by helping other children suffering lifechanging illnesses.
The holiday home’s location has been especially chosen as it was one of Bradley’s favourite places to visit.
