Charity match to take place in Redbridge for Hornchurch girl with rare cancer

A charity football match is taking place on Sunday to raise funds for a girl from Hornchurch who suffers from a rare form of cancer.

Isla Caton, 3, has neuroblastoma and has spent the last few months going in and out of hospital for treatment.

Her family is trying to raise £400,000 for treatment in the United States to help make sure she is cured of the cancer and that it can’t come back.

Celebrities are involved

A football match is now taking place at Redbridge FC this Sunday with a number of famous faces taking part.

Former West Ham players Jack Collison, Paul Konchesky, Matt Etherington and Marlon Harewood are confirmed to be involved.

With celebrities like Mark Little and Sammy McNess, snooker player Mark King and comedian Neg Dupree taking to the pitch.

You can buy tickets by calling 07940494253 and donate to the cause on Isla’ Just-Giving Page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaigns/charity/thebradleyloweryfoundation/islacaton.

Honoured to be involved with this football match on Sunday. We are raising money for Isla, such an incredibly brave young girl, to get to the USA for treatment she so desperately needs. Hope to see many of you down there. Cheers. Nx #TeamIsla ? https://t.co/3QsUNyPsUm
