Sandhurst host charity football match for grieving family

Sandhurst: A charity football match took place to honor Ethan, a young sports fan. He sadly passed away from a brain tumor at just 17.

His family held the event on what would have been his milestone birthday. They aimed to raise funds for Brain Tumor Research, which has already collected over £60,000.

The match was held at Bottom Meadow, home to Bracknell Town and Sandhurst Town. It was a sunny day filled with fun and laughter.

Many celebrities joined in, including Calum Best and YouTuber Woody. Other stars included Dan Osborne and cricket legend Monty Panesar.

Ethan’s family, especially his mom Nikki, shared how tough it is without him. His siblings are now older than he was when he passed.

Ethan was diagnosed with glioblastoma and fought bravely through various treatments. Sadly, they weren’t successful.

He loved sports, playing cricket, basketball, and football. The match ended in a thrilling 4-4 tie, with Woody’s team winning on penalties.

Ryan Livesey from Married at First Sight was named Man of the Match. The day was filled with memories and support for a great cause.
