Ben and Reece Swain were diagnosed with Cystinosis – a genetic disease which causes crystals to form in the body. Often these start to form in the kidneys and eyes and then spread to other organs in the body.

The condition is inherited when two copies of an abnormal gene are received (one from each parent).

The condition is incredibly rare with only two or three cases diagnosed in the UK every year – and George says his family is the only one in the world with three people who have the condition. George’s daughter, Bettie, has also been diagnosed with Cystinosis.

Ben passed away in February 2019 and Reece passed away in March 2020 at the ages of 27 and 25 respectively. Both were avid Liverpool fans, and this is why setting up a club in their memory means so much to George and his daughter Bettie.

George needs £1,100 so he can buy some kit and equipment for the team.

It will mean so much to George to launch the football team in memory of his sons.
