Tomorrow’s collection will see TUFC join forces with Young Lives Vs Cancer
In May 2023, the lives of the Hiscoke family were turned upside down when young TUFC fan Ben was diagnosed with a high-grade brain tumour.
Ben was swiftly moved to Bristol Children’s Hospital, where emergency operations were carried out to remove most of the tumour, however the crushing news then came in that Ben had been diagnosed with brain cancer.
Young Lives Vs Cancer provided Ben’s family with incredible support, from the big stuff like sorting out somewhere to live whilst away from home, to helping with forms and navigating a whole new world.
Every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Young Lives vs Cancer helps families find the strength to face everything cancer throws at them, and therefore, TUFC is proud to support their invaluable work by holding a bucket collection tonight’s to help raise funds.
Upon hearing that Ben is due to have an operation later this week, TUFC were also delighted to make Ben an honorary mascot for Saturday’s game v Tonbridge, where his dad Jon told us a bit more about this fantastic cause.
We hope you enjoyed your stay with us Ben – we’re all right behind you!
