A CHARITY set up in memory of brave cancer battler Bradley Lowery has been given a a registered number.

The Bradley Lowery Foundation will offer to help other youngsters suffering from serious illnesses by carrying out fund-raising campaigns to provide treatment. Sunderland mascot Bradley, of Blackhall Colliery, died aged six in July following a fight with childhood cancer neuroblastoma.

His mother Gemma Lowery said: “We’re mega excited to announce that after a lot of behind the scenes work, we’ve got a registered charity number for the Bradley Lowery Foundation.

“We’re hoping to support, advise and encourage families on their fundraising campaigns to reach their target and get their child medical treatment and equipment.

"We’ll give out some grants, but we’ll also spend time building rapport with families to support them in all kinds of different ways."

Meanwhile, Bradley will be remembered with a charity match held by Everton FC.

A host of celebrities are set to form teams Bradley's Blues and The Lowery Legends for the game at Goodison Park on September 3.

The six-year-old, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when he was 18 months old, was a mascot for Everton, Sunderland and England last year.

He died in July in his parents' arms at his home in Blackhall, County Durham.

On Tuesday, Everton FC's Twitter account posted a video of the youngster, including clips of him on the pitch at Goodison, along with a link to buy tickets to the charity fixture.

The Sunderland fan was shown wearing an Everton shirt with the message "Cancer has no colours" written on the back.

Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright said: "There's little that I could ever add to the tributes to Bradley, that have already been fulsome throughout the world of football - and onwards.

"I didn't know him for long. But from the second he walked out onto the pitch with his beloved Sunderland Football Club against us, I felt an overwhelming 'blue' need to support him.

"(Majority shareholder) Farhad (Moshiri) and my Everton colleagues immediately supported that need.

"Everyone at Everton feels honoured to support this match to celebrate the short life of one of football's all-time greats - there's only one Bradley Lowery."

Tickets cost £10 for adults or £5 for under-16s and can be booked online at evertonfc.com/bradley.
