It’s Goonerific! £532,000 for cancer unit
ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger was joined by The Who frontman Roger Daltrey and Arnie Higgs, 14, at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday to hand over a record-breaking £532,816 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Thanks to their Be a Gooner, Be a Giver campaign, the Gunners smashed their original target of £300,000 for the trust, which was the club’s Charity of the Season last term. The cash will be used to create a unique Day Care Cancer Unit for young people within a new centre being built at University College Hospital in Euston.
Wenger said: “We’re delighted to smash our target as well as building awareness and understanding of the needs of teenagers and young adults with cancer.” Trust Patron Daltrey added: “As an Arsenal fan I am proud of how the club and fans got behind Teenage Cancer Trust.” |
