Nottingham Forest is supporting a two-year-old girl fighting the same rare form of cancer as that of young Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery.
Two-year-old Florence has Neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that forms in certain types of nerve tissue, and needs treatment in the USA.
She was diagnosed with the illness when she was 16 months old and went through 20 rounds of chemotherapy, major surgery, a stem cell transplant, five weeks of radiotherapy and immunotherapy treatment.
However a CT scan in November showed the tumour was growing again, spreading into her stomach and wrapping around her blood vessels.
UK doctors have said it is too dangerous to remove the tumour but Florence’s family want to seek advice from a Neuroblastoma surgeon in New York and are aiming to raise £250,000 to fund the trip; over £180,000 has already been raised on their JustGiving page.
A number of Flo’s relatives are season ticket holders at The City Ground while her grandfather is a season ticket holder at Notts County.
Florence has the same illness that five-year-old Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery has.
Bradley has captured the imagination of football fans all over the country having scored December’s Premier League goal of the month, receiving thousands of Christmas cards in support of his battle and being the mascot in Everton’s match against Manchester City on Sunday January 15, where he was carried onto the pitch by Toffees’ striker Romelu Lukaku.
