Own a Match-Worn Jersey and Support Cure Leukaemia
Published April 22, 2022
Soccer fans worldwide will have the unique opportunity to raise money for Cure Leukaemia and the fight against blood cancer, while also getting their hands on a unique piece of soccer memorabilia.
Led by former soccer player and CL Patron Geoff Thomas, soccer clubs and players across the country have united and generously donated a variety of signed jerseys, many of which were worn during matches, making them unrivaled pieces of soccer memorabilia!
GEOFF THOMAS RAISING FUNDS FOR CURE LEUKAEMIA
After a highly successful soccer career, including captaining Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup Final and making nine appearances for the England national team, Geoff was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). After recovering from the blood disease, Geoff embarked on a mission to raise funds for the charity that helped save his life, Cure Leukaemia.
Over the past 15 years, Geoff Thomas has raised more than two million pounds for the charity, equating to more than 300 million pounds' worth of life-saving drugs. He will be taking on the challenge of completing the entire Tour de France route in 21 days for the sixth time this year. Among other innovative and challenging campaigns, Geoff has united the soccer community more than once for this honorable cause.
With the right infrastructure and sufficient funding, it is believed that all forms of blood cancer could be eradicated within the next 15 to 20 years. This is the ultimate goal of Cure Leukaemia: to develop and provide lifesaving treatments and technologies for blood cancer, helping to put an end to the disease that results in a patient being diagnosed with a form of blood cancer every 14 minutes.
OWN THE MOMENT, SUPPORT THE CAUSE
In this new initiative, Geoff has reached out to his soccer community, asking them to donate jerseys and support this initiative. Not only have individual players and former players answered the call, but many Premier League, EFL, and SPFL clubs have also generously donated game-worn jerseys from a match of their choice.
