Everton donate £200,000 to Bradley Lowery to help Sunderland fan's fight against cancer

Bradley is suffering from neuroblastoma for a second time, meaning he needs £700,000 to afford the necessary treatment in the United States

Everton have donated £200,000 to a young Sunderland fan who is seeking life-saving treatment in America to fight against cancer.

Five-year-old Bradley Lowery, from Blackhall in County Durham, was the Black Cats' mascot before their game with Everton on Monday night.

Bradley is suffering from neuroblastoma for a second time, meaning he needs £700,000 to afford the necessary treatment in the United States.

And after the match, it was announced the Toffees have given £200,000 towards that total.


The sum raised on the fundraising page so far was at nearly £469,000 at the time of writing.

The club have also invited Bradley and his family to the return game at Goodison Park on February 25.

Having been given the all-clear in 2014 after his initial diagnosis a year earlier, doctors found cancer again during one of his check-ups.

Bradley led Sunderland captain Jermain Defoe out on the pitch before the Blues' 3-0 win.

Both sets of supporters also chanted his name in the fifth minute of the match, in honour of his fight against the disease.
