In Feb 2019, a young footballer, Spencer McCall received the diagnosis of Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer.

After 14 cycles of chemotherapy and 3 major surgeries, he heard the devastating news that the cancer had spread to his lungs. When chemotherapy failed to stop this aggressive cancer, he searched for alternative therapies abroad with the full support of his UK oncologist.

Many people rallied around to support him with his treatment costs; ACT was delighted to a part of this effort awarding a grant of £5,000. It’s been an incredible & difficult journey; however following promising early results Spencer’s condition deteriorated.

Tragically, Spencer passed away in July 2021 at only 26 years of age. May he rest in peace.
