The Big Match is back at Southampton FC on May 30th and we will be raising money for various causes which includes-

A young Boy called Finley.

Finley was born with a rare genetic condition called lymphangioma which affects his face and airway meaning he has a tracheostomy to support his breathing. Finley spent the first six months of his life in hospital at Southampton and then Poole but since then has been living life to the fullest and progressing amazingly. Despite his parents being told that he may not talk, eat or even walk he has defied the odds and done all of these things and more.

Unfortunately Finley suffered a massive seizure in January, unrelated to his existing condition, which has resulted in significant brain damage and he now has to relearn to walk, talk and eat again which will require extensive rehabilitation therapy.”

“LETS MAKE HAPPEN AND SUPPORT THESE CAUSES”

We hope to raise enough money to help Home-Start keep up their fantastic work and to help Finley!

Please support us in doing so.
