Milan’s Story :- 

Milan was a football mad 14 year old boy who had been playing football for Kenilworth Wardens Football Club in Warwickshire since the age of 6.

Sadly in January 2012, aged 11, Milan had an operation to remove a lump in his spine, this lump turned out be a rare type of bone cancer called Ewing's sarcoma. Milan had to have a year of gruelling chemotherapy and proton therapy treatments whereby he was in hospital every 3rd week

Milan had the all clear in December 2012 but unfortunately the cancer returned in September 2013, and again had 4 months of chemotherapy treatment with a subsequent 1 month hospital stay in Birmingham Children's hospital for stem cell transplant and high dose chemotherapy

Milan again got the all clear in April 2014, but so quickly after, in June 2014, suffered another relapse, and was sadly told in December 2014 that the cancer had spread. Sadly at 11am on Monday 2nd March 2015, Milan lost his battle and passed away peacefully at home with all his family

During the whole of this traumatic time Milan had continued to train and play football whenever possible around his treatment cycle, he has twice captained his KWFC football team in winning cup finals and even managed to play some match time in both finals. His positive attitude towards his condition is an inspiration to all.

He was supported by all the local football teams and in particular Kenilworth Wardens and Kenilworth Town Football clubs who were all great friends of Milan came together to support in unity.
