Raising money for Jude and the Children's Hospital cancer ward
Georgina Newton is raising money for The Children's Hospital Charity
Story
Why we are fundraising
On 28th July, the day before his 3rd birthday, super brave Jude Mellon-Jameson was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and is embarking on a long difficult journey with his amazing parents and family by his side.
The Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity is currently raising money to refurbish the children's cancer ward, somewhere that Jude will be spending lots of time. We’re trying to raise more money for this amazing cause, which will not only benefit Jude but also the other children who travel from all over the country to use this hospital.
Activities so far:
Dino Elton John football tournament
Nunny’s Funky Boots held a charity football tournament on Sunday 12th September. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and supported. Jude presented the trophy to the winning team with his Daddy, former SWFC goalkeeper Arron Jameson. Friends and family supported on the day by running stalls which included prize games, lovingly-crafted jewellery, cakes and fidget toys!
SWFC fans are superstars
After the story of Jude's Dino Elton John football tournament was shared by SWFC on social media. An army of SWFC fans kindly donated to this page and continue to do so!
