Rice donates £5,000 for West Ham youth goalkeeper fighting cancer

Declan Rice has donated £5,000 to a GoFundMe campaign for a West Ham Under-15 goalkeeper who is fighting cancer.

Rice, a former Hammers youth player himself, made 245 senior appearances for West Ham before signing for Arsenal in July 2023.

As reported by Rising Ballers, Fairs is a season-ticket holder at West Ham who has ambitions of reaching the first-team.

Fairs has undergone seven surgeries, one round of chemotherapy and one round of radiotherapy but was told that Palliative care was the only option.

Oscar Fairs, who has been with West Ham since the age of nine, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour last year.

Fairs' family have found a treatment called MEMMAT which isn't available in the UK, but can be provided at a facility in France called The Oscar Lembert Center. 

Over £60,000 has been raised so far, with an intended target of £100,000. 

Fairs' family are due to have a meeting with the French oncologist on Friday during which his treatment plan will be discussed.
