Play for Blake

By Connor McDiarmid

Share this page

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

At the age of 9 Connor sadly learnt the pain of losing his dear mate Blake to Leukaemia. Now aged 11 Connor continues to work through his his grief by fighting to find a cure so one day no one else has to feel the pain of losing a friend or loved one to Leukaemia.

In memory of his good friend Blake, Connor will be hosting a charity touch football match at the place they become friends, Lakelands Public School.

Along with his love for drawing, riding his bike he absolutely loved his football. I remember him telling me I can’t wait to get back to play with his mate at Dapto Canaries

So this being the reason behind his idea to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation and to continue to remember his amazing friend.

Please come down and join me on 25th November to cheer us on in the game Blake loved and make sure he is never forgotten.

Event will start at 11:30AM

Address: Lakelands Drive Dapto.Β
