Man City hero Jack Grealish donates £5,000 to student given just weeks to live after going to the doctor with back pain
FOOTIE’S Jack Grealish has donated £5,000 to a student given just weeks to live after going to the doctor with back pain.
Dylan Lamb thought he’d pulled a muscle but was told he has Precursor T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.
The 20-year-old’s only hope of survival is treatment in America and a GoFundMe page has raised £90,000 of a £1million target.
Man City star Grealish chipped in after hearing about the Liverpool University student’s plight.
Jack, 27, shared the page link on Instagram with a broken heart and crying emoji.
He posted: “Please have a read.”
Discussing Dylan’s cancer battle, his girlfriend Phoebe Cole said: “It got progressively worse, he lost his appetite and was being sick.
“His mum took him to A&E in unbearable pain and a blood test showed his white blood cells were through the roof.
“It all happened so fast, he was diagnosed with Precursor T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and then three days later he was having chemotherapy.”
Dylan, of Swadlincote, Derbyshire, has also had a stem cell transplant.
