Plans to open a luxury holiday home in memory of Bradley Lowery will continue next month with a huge fundraiser to support its development.
Super Brad’s Pad is the latest project from The Bradley Lowery Foundation to create a lasting legacy of the six-year-old who lost his fight to neuroblastoma in 2017.
The project aims to open a five-bedroom luxury holiday home in Scarborough for poorly children and their families to make lasting happy memories.
And a summer fun day to help fund the project is set to take place in Sunderland next month, following the easing of coronavirus restrictions.

Gemma Lowery, Bradley’s mum and founder of the foundation, said: “We loved fun days with Bradley before he went with the angels, and we want families to be able to have a great time while raising money for a fantastic cause.
"We want Super Brad’s Pad to be a special place kids will love to visit and somewhere families can make memories of special times together.
"The last year has been difficult for all charities, and we’re delighted that we can get together again to fundraise in little Brad’s memory."
The Bradley Lowery Foundation was established in August 2017 after Bradley tragically lost his fight to the rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer.
The foundation aims to support families who are fundraising for treatment or equipment, which is not readily available or covered by the NHS.
The fundraiser to support the opening of a luxury holiday home will take place at Ryhope Cricket Club on August bank holiday Monday, August 30.
A variety of stalls, as well as a bouncy castle, fun fair rides and refreshments, will be on offer at the free to enter event, which runs from 12.30pm until 5.30pm.
At 4.30pm, an evening of live acts will begin, and run until 9pm.
This will include performances from indie band Days of Speed, singers Louise Crosby and Lloyd Joyce, DJ Wake, and comedian/impressionist Danny Posthill, who got to the final of Britain’s Got Talent in 2015.
