Consett Boy, 12, with Heartbreaking Cancer Diagnosis, Excited to Take Part in Charity Football Tournament Consett, County Durham – 12-year-old Aidan Hill has been diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, but his spirits remain high as he prepares to take part in a charity football tournament. Aidan, a keen footballer, was devastated when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in October 2022. But despite the challenges he faces, he is determined to make the most of every opportunity. When his local football club, Consett AFC, announced they were holding a charity tournament to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust, Aidan was eager to participate. “I love football and I’m really excited to play in the tournament,” said Aidan. “It’s going to be a great opportunity to raise awareness about childhood cancer and help other kids like me.” Aidan’s family and friends have been incredibly supportive throughout his journey. His mother, Lisa, said she was amazed by his resilience and determination. “Aidan is such a brave and inspiring boy,” said Lisa. “He’s facing his diagnosis with such courage and strength. We’re so proud of him for taking part in this tournament.” The charity tournament will take place on Sunday, March 12th, at the Belle Vue Stadium in Consett. Teams of local businesses, community groups, and schools will come together to compete and raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Aidan and his family are hoping that the tournament will raise awareness about childhood cancer and inspire other young people to stay positive and never give up on their dreams. “I want to show other kids that even though cancer can be tough, it doesn’t have to stop you from doing the things you love,” said Aidan. “I’m so grateful to everyone who is supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust and helping to make a difference in the lives of young people with cancer.” The Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity that provides specialized support and services to young people aged 13-24 who are living with cancer. The charity’s aim is to help young people cope with the physical, emotional, and practical challenges of cancer and to make sure they have the best possible experience during their treatment and recovery.A 12-year-old boy named Ethan O’Neill, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in February, presented medals at a special football tournament for young people affected by cancer.
