My daughters and I watched CCFC versus Sunderland yesterday and had a great day. Yes, there was banter, but there was also a good deal of mutual respect and camaraderie. Especially as both teams have known the lows - as well as the premier league high of today.

When we got home, Hattie and Alice (my twins) had heard that a CCFC fan had taunted Sunderland with respect to the passing of Bradley. We were so saddened to hear of this.

The twins wanted to do something to assure the Lowery and Black cat family that the actions of one fan do not stand for us all. The image of Jermain Defoe with this beautiful boy remains etched in the hearts and minds of football fans around the world. Coventry shares in this and as a city that believes in the power of reaching out in friendship, we hope we can raise a little for the Foundation's brilliant work.

The Bradley Lowery foundation has been set up to help families who need to fund raise for treatment or equipment, not available on the NHS. We will support families through their fundraising campaign in order to help achieve their targets. We offer not only support, but grants where eligible.
