Despite various course of treatment including chemo there has been little change to the size of the tumour.

His parents are considering taking him to the States, either for a dream hoiday or if available, alternative treatment which may improve his quality of life.

I decided along with a couple of others to organise something to raise cash. We are holding a Table top sale on the 24th September and there have been various other fundraisers for the cause. I contacted various comapnies with requests for raffle prizes and one of these was RUFC.

Gerry Somerton contacted me an invited Daniel to the ground to meet the players, he is going next
Thursday with his friend Lucy. Gerry then contacted me again and offered me the shirt. I didn't think we'd get enough money for it if we just offered it as a raffle prize so I decided to post it on the supporters website to see if there was any interest.

As I said in my previous email within an hour of posting it I received an email with a bid of £150.00. I intend to close the auction on 23rd September and it will be given to the highest bidder (subject to payment) on the 24th.

The shirt itself as I said in my posting is made by Nike, it has Keanes name and number on the back and is signed by Keane with his name and number. Gerry told me it was worn by Keane for the last match of last season and is this seasons shirt but bears last seasons sponsor name on the front - Earth Mortgages. It has not been washed. The size is Large.
