Bradley Lowery Foundation boosted by Jermain Defoe's return to Sunderland

Jermain Defoe has announced that £1 from every ticket sold for Sunderland's match against Doncaster this Saturday will be donated to the Bradley Lowery Foundation.

The striker was close to Bradley and his family during his previous stint at Sunderland, helping them raise money for life-saving treatments.

Bradley died in 2017 at the age of six due to neuroblastoma but the Foundation created in his name continues to do vital fundraising work to help other families.
