A cancer sufferer who received a £5,000 donation from football star Jack Grealish to help fund treatment has died before the clinical trial he’d hoped to join was made possible.
Dylan Lamb, 20, from Staffordshire, was battling blood cell cancer when his family organised a £1million appeal on GoFundMe to raise funds for the clinical trial treatment in America.
After more than 10,000 donations, the total raised currently stands at £172,00 – and £5,000 of that seemingly down to Manchester City and England winger Grealish.
Dylan was diagnosed with Precursor T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in April last year after becoming unwell with back pain.
The student, who lived in Wavertree while he was studying international business at the University of Liverpool, had returned home for the Easter break when he first experienced symptoms.
