Jack Grealish has donated £5,000 to a £1million leukaemia appeal set up to save a student's life.Birmingham City FC, who Dylan supports, have got behind the appealThe sizeable donation has been left in Grealish's name but it's not been confirmed if it's come from himIt's not been confirmed whether it is Manchester City and England star Grealish who sent the £5K to the appeal but the donation has his name next on it.
Birmingham City's Twitter account posted: "Blues supporter Dylan, 20, is currently fighting for his life, with his best chance of survival being a clinical trial in the U.S. Due to his life expectancy, he has just weeks to hit his target.Grealish, 27, is from Birmingham, but grew up supporting Aston Villa and used his profile to show that some things are more important than football rivalries.
Dylan went to his GP with a back problem thinking he had only pulled a muscle but blood tests revealed the devastating news that he had T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. His family are in a race against time to raise the money for Dylan to travel to the USA for a clinical trial. Without the treatment it's feared he only has weeks to live.: "Dylan needs the clinical treatment because the chemotherapy is just extending his life rather than saving it. He really needs to go to the US.
"Dylan is so lovely - genuinely the nicest person you'll ever meet. Even though he's going through all this, he's still managing to stay positive.
