Blues,

You might remember this.

Lucas' mum, has sent us the below.

They're at £885 of a target of £1,000 with just today remaining, between us all, can we help them get close/hit it? They're working with Alder Hey Children's Hospital, coincidentally our nominated 2016 charity




Dear Everton Fans,
Our 'Little Stokie' Just Giving Page has just 1 day left to run and we have raised £885 against a target of £1,000, with a significant amount already donated by generous Everton fans along with heart felt messages of support https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/Lucas-Williams6-LittleStokie


Lucas had never been ill or had a day off school until 21st May 2015, when he was suddenly taken poorly. Lucas was diagnosed with a brain tumour and was transferred to Alder Hey Children's Hospital where he was treated. Tragically Lucas died just 11 weeks and one day later age 6 years and 11 months, he was a keen footballer and a massive Stoke City and football fan.

We are now working with Alder Hey and The Institiute for Cancer Research to fund desperately needed research into Childhood Brain Tumours to help find new and more effective treatments for this devastating illness.

We organised a bucket collection before the Stoke City v Everton match on 6th February and £10,956 was donated in just over 2 hours by the amazing Stoke and Everton fans.
We are extremely grateful for your support.

From £885 to £907.5 in under 5 minutes.

Nice one Blues! Just a few hours to hit target. Would be great if Evertonians could get this one over the line...

If you can donate, perhaps you can share this thread link elsewhere - Facebook/Twitter/email/whatsapp etc
 

This happened to our nephew , like Lucas our nephew was 5 when diagnosed and passed away aged 6 years old .
Currently their is no cure for these type of aggressive , childhood brain tumours !
The treatment can kill just as much as the actual tumour.
Please , not looking for any sympathy , I would just like people to be aware that , although rare , it can and does happen and devestates families in the process.
Any help towards research is always grateful.
I have absolutely nothing to do with this , just read the story and thought I'd share you mine !
 
Done, have a 6 year old myself, can't get my head round how fast they lost their boy, hopefully their fundraising will help save thousands of other kids in the future one day, great kid and reminds me of my son and all the lads he plays and trains with. Hope they find a cause so they can prevent it and a more effective treatment.
