Dear friends, I come to share this sad story of Bradley Lowery, a boy who was fighting against neuroblastoma cancer from 18 months of age was a fan of the English team Sunderland and his greatest idol was veteran player Jermain Defoe who was his Great companion or you could say he was your best friend.
The story of the mother to social networks was: "My brave boy has gone with the angels today".
Bradley Lowery was diagnosed with this disease when he was 18 months old and his story shocked many.
The youngster was a fan of the English club Sunderland, which turned him into a kind of pet and established a relationship of friendship with his "hero", the now exdelantero of the team Jermain Defoe.
"Months of life"
Bradley was put on treatment and the disease was in remission, but after the decline in cancer, it fell back last year.
In 2016, $ 900,000 was raised for the child to receive treatment in New York City but doctors discovered that his cancer had worsened and was terminal.
In December, Lowery's parents, Gemma and Carl, received the news that their little Bradley had months left.
Bradley Lowery became known around the world after a campaign in which he received 250,000 Christmas cards from countries such as Australia and New Zealand.
In addition to participating in various sports and social events, in which his dream came true in March when he appeared with the England football team at Wembley Stadium before the game against Lithuania in which Defoe scored a goal.
"My brave boy has gone with the angels today," Bradley Lowery's parents, Gemma and Carl, wrote in social networks confirming his death.
The current Bournemouth player Jermain Defoe at a press conference broke into tears when he was reminded of little Bradley who was his best friend and his "Hero" gave the following statements:
It has been very difficult! Because I kept this for a very long time, trying to be strong for me and his family. I do not know how to explain in words what I feel. It's been a very special time having that great friendship with Brad.
In other statements Jermaine Defoe commented: "His love I could see him in his eyes when he looked at me. We are gone Bradley, but not his attitude. Will continue contagándonos"
It is sad to see this kind of news, a child as young as 6 lost his life due to a disease almost deadly, my heartfelt regret to the family of Brad and especially to his best friend Defoe who are going through a hard time. QEPD BRADLEY LOWERY
