We are reaching out to ask for your urgent help for our absolute best mate, Tony Hammond.

Recently, Tony received the devastating news that he has been diagnosed with an ultra-rare, highly aggressive cancer in his small intestine called Clear Cell Sarcoma-Like Tumor (M-GNET). He is currently dealing with a very large 12cm+ mass that requires immediate, intensive medical intervention.

To be close to his family and lifelong friends during this brutal fight, Tony has moved to Southampton and is under the care of the specialist Sarcoma team at Southampton General Hospital. His intensive chemotherapy is scheduled to begin within the next two weeks. The doctors have been incredibly blunt about the seriousness of this timeline: everything depends on how his body responds to these first rounds of treatment to shrink the tumor.

As a group of lads who have been friends with Tony for Many many years, we refuse to let him fight this alone.

On top of the terrifying medical reality, Tony faces an immediate financial clock. His employer only provides 90 days of sick pay. Of wich is is already over a third of the way through, so in less than two short months, while in the absolute thick of aggressive cancer treatment, his income will stop. He should be focusing 100% of his energy on fighting for his life, not worrying about how he is going to pay his bills.

We are launching this page to take that financial weight completely off his shoulders. Our immediate goal is to raise enough funds to cover Tony's living and medical expenses for the next year, ensuring he has a secure roof over his head and peace of mind while he fights.

Every single penny raised will go directly to Tony to manage his expenses and support his care. No donation is too small—whether it is the price of a pint or a bit more, it all buys him time and takes away the stress.

If you cannot donate, please share this page as far and wide as you can.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with Tony Hamond. Let's show him the power of our community.
