Sheffield Wednesday supporters raise over £16k in just two days for the Bradley Lowery Foundation after two fans mocked six-year-old Sunderland fan's death from rare cancer

Sheffield Wednesday supporters have raised more than £15,000 for the Bradley Lowery Foundation in just two days after two men appeared to mock the six-year-old Sunderland fan's death from a rare form of cancer.

A Go Fund Me page was set up by supporters after the individuals were seen laughing as one of them held up a phone displaying zoomed-in picture of Lowery during Sunderland's 3-0 win over Wednesday. Lowery passed away in 2017 after a battle with the disease.

The fundraiser has since been inundated with donations and by Monday morning the figure had reached £16,500.
