Mary with Ross' father Bruce at the fundraiser
The Belnorth Football Club has rallied to support the family of Ross Green, one of the club's young players, who is in Sydney recovering from treatment for Leukaemia.
Ross' four-year-old brother's bone marrow was a perfect match and was used in the treatment.
Over 200 supporters attended a function which raised almost $30,000 to help the family defray the extensive costs they have incurred.
13-year-old Ross has been playing with Belnorth since 2000. He also continued to coach the Pee Wee Under 6 Red Rebels team even after he had been diagnosed with his illness.
