'Jack Grealish put £10k towards my husband's cancer treatment'
Reported byBBC England ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Footballer Jack Grealish donated £10,000 toward Leon Skapars' treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Centre in Texas after seeing a video about the family's fundraising appeal. Skapars, 36, was diagnosed with stage four sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma and needs to reach a $200,000 target for a clinical trial.
This donation assists with a single family's access to a clinical trial; it does not guarantee a particular outcome.
