On May 17th, I will be taking on my biggest challenge yet. I will be running from Northampton Town’s “Sixfields” Stadium to Arsenal’s “Emirates Stadium,” a total of 66.93 miles over 2 days, finishing at Ezra’s beloved football club, Arsenal FC.

Ezra is one of the young boys whom I have the pleasure of coaching. He also plays football for Blisworth and rugby for Bugbrooke.

In November, our hearts sank as we learned that Ezra had been diagnosed with an aggressive and rare form of leukaemia.

Ezra’s kindness is evident in his everyday actions. He is one of the most dedicated and kind-hearted young boys I know. He's a true gem both on and off the field.

As Ezra is undergoing treatment—7 weeks of chemotherapy in the hospital, with a week's break at home, and then back to 7 weeks of chemotherapy for the next 6 months—his family is navigating both the emotional and financial strains that come with this journey. I am reaching out to ask you all to support them during this difficult time.

Your generosity will help alleviate some of the financial burdens that Ezra's family is facing, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: supporting Ezra through his treatment and recovery.

As I prepare for this challenge, I am inspired by the strength and resilience that Ezra demonstrates daily. Every step I take will be in support of him and his family, and every penny raised will go directly to supporting their needs during this challenging time.

My road ahead will be a tough one, but it is nothing compared to what Ezra is facing. I truly appreciate any support you can offer, whether it’s through a donation, spreading the word about this page, or keeping Ezra and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you!

Let's come together as a community to uplift this incredible young man and his family. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can make a difference in Ezra's life and show him that he is not alone in this fight.

Many thanks,

Kieren Westbury ⚽️
