Funds raised for Harrogate-based footballer Stuart Gray to be donated to charities
Funds raised for Harrogate-based former footballer Stuart Gray are to be donated to two charities.
Stuart, who played for Celtic and was the son of Leeds United legend Eddie Gray, died on January 27, with a rare form of cancer. He was 50 years old.
Stuart’s brother, Nick, set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for experimental treatments to tackle the cholangiocarcinoma — also known as bile duct cancer.
The appeal generated more than £50,000 but because father-of-five Stuart's condition progressed and reduced treatment options, much of the sum raised remains.
Nick Gray has now said the remaining funds will be donated to the AMMF - a Cholangiocarcinoma charity. He added a potion would also be donated to Saint Michael’s Hospice, which cared for him in his final weeks.
