Brave Bradley, of Blackhall, was just six years old when he passed away on July 7, 2017, following a battle with neuroblastoma cancer.

The Bradley Lowery Foundation, set up to help remember him, works to support other unwell children with their own fundraising campaigns for treatment and equipment.
