    Bradley Lowery is 5 year’s old.

    At the age of 18 months, he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma and battled with it for over 2 until he was successful in beating the Cancer. He went into remission.

    In July 2016, Bradley relapsed. A very sad moment for us all.

    Specialist and progressive treatment for this kind of Cancer is not available in this country and to send Bradley abroad for specialist treatment we have started fundraising again.

    Could be wrong but think chesh was just asking what the target figure was rather than implying " they want how much"..

    Not cruel genuine question,if they needed £100,000 they have it,if they need £250,000 they need £50,000 more,if they need money to make the kid better they should have a number,that is the idea isn't it ?

    Agreed. Thought at the time of the Everton gesture it was 375k needed. Really sad he's had this relapse

    so sorry if it sounded like a plea for cash it wasn't. it was to let everyone he has had a relapse and they (doctors) have found another tumor, poor sod.

    Just crossed wires i think mate. Sure no offence was meant or taken.
    I understand why you jumped though. chesh is always making insensitive posts that take the pi55.

    Stop foreign aid, charity begins at home, especially for cases like this
    Where's the money from children in need, or is this poor kid not black enough?

    Been following his story for a while, real fighter who absolutely loves football. I genuinely believe if it wasn't for the likes of Sunderland football club and the players, he might have lost his fight by now.

    Good luck to the lad, i hope he beats the feckin horrible disease, however dire its looking right now.

    Heartbreaking story as I have seen a lot of stuff about this kid and the football fans in the Prem who have got behind it. The kid is a genuine Sunderland fan & loves Defoe. Defoe and him are on a few videos and funny, but a photo I saw last week was when some Sunderland players went to his hospital and the kid fell asleep arms wrapped round Defoe on Bradleys bed.

    On a similar tack some on here will know that I went down last year with Cancer but through some experimental treatment have gotten rid and am in remission. However I now find I have a secondary tumour growing on my lung, so now waiting to go into hospital & have that removed. So 12 months of fighting the cnut and beating it and now this which will mean at least another 6 months minimum to get over. If thats the last of it. Heyho its Friday
