MARK BRADBURY TRIBUTE FOOTBALL MATCH AND FUNDRAISING

On 31 December 2025, Mark Bradbury sadly lost his courageous battle with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei at the age of just 44.

Mark was a devoted family man, a loyal friend, and someone whose warmth, humour, and kindness touched the lives of so many. His loss has been felt deeply by everyone who knew him. This event provides an opportunity for family, friends, teammates, colleagues, and the wider community to come together to celebrate his life, share cherished memories, and honour the remarkable person he was.

To pay tribute to Mark, a special charity football match will take place on 18 July 2026 at Ravenshead Football Club. The day will be a celebration of friendship, community, and football, bringing together people from every part of Mark’s life to remember him in a way that reflects his spirit and the lasting connections he built with so many.

Alongside celebrating Mark’s life, we hope to create a lasting legacy by raising funds and awareness for two causes that are incredibly important to his family.

Supporting Two Important Charities

Pseudomyxoma Survivor (Registered Charity No. 1143642) provides support, information, advocacy, and awareness for people affected by Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, a rare cancer that impacts thousands of families across the UK and beyond.

The Christie Charity (Registered Charity No. 1201654) is the dedicated fundraising charity supporting The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester, the specialist cancer centre that provided treatment and care for Mark throughout his illness.

Every donation made through this fundraising campaign will help support the vital work of these two charities, ensuring that others facing similar challenges can receive the care, support, and hope they need.

How You Can Help

As part of our fundraising efforts, we have organised a number of activities that will run alongside the event, including an online charity auction, an online raffle for a unique piece of football memorabilia, and a traditional match-day raffle featuring a range of fantastic prizes.
