Watch: Terminally ill fan Lowery gets mascot gig for Everton match
Bradley Lowery, the Sunderland supporter fighting terminal cancer, emerged from the tunnel ahead of Sunday's match between Everton and Manchester City at Goodison Park, the five-year-old acting as the mascot and being carried onto the pitch by Romelu Lukaku.
Lowery, who was diagnosed in 2013 with neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer, captured the hearts of Premier League supporters everywhere earlier this season when he led the Black Cats out ahead of a match against Everton at the Stadium of Light.
Roughly £700,000 was raised in December for Lowery's treatment, while the Toffees pledged £200,000 to his cause in September. Thousands of people across the country also reached out individually by sending him Christmas cards.
