Although there is some psychological support for patients at the hospital where Eleri was treated, as with all NHS services it was stretched to its limits.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was difficult to get consistent support for Eleri and almost impossible for any family members to access. &nbsp;Bethan&nbsp;realised that if they&nbsp;needed support but couldn\u2019t access it easily, then other families were probably having the same difficulties. The idea was to raise money to provide help for these families when they needed it the most.&nbsp;&nbsp; With the help of Laura Barber and Julianne Baker, Shine Bright Support was born.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a student of Fairford Primary, Eleri had a big impact on her peers and with many of the children from Fairford Primary representing the Youth Football Club, there was a strong desire from the children to do what they could to support Shine Bright.<\/p>\n<p>Initially Fairford\u2019s Under 8 Tornadoes coach Sarah Sloman contacted Bethan for her team to wear the gold laces, but word quickly spread amongst the coaches and players throughout the age-groups and before long, the whole club from U7s to U14s were on board, culminating with FYFC donating \u00a3525 to Shine Bright Support.<\/p>\n<p>FYFC chairman Adam Sloman said \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anyone in Fairford that isn\u2019t aware of the amazing work Bethan and Shine Bright Support are doing for children and families dealing with childhood cancer \u2013 the gold laces started with one age group, but it\u2019s really unified the whole club. We\u2019re proud to help Shine Bright Support and we hope to do more to support them.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nShine Bright Support Trustee Bethan Hooper added \u201cIt\u2019s lovely to have the Youth Football Club on board \u2013 the whole month of September is about raising awareness of Childhood Cancer and we think this will help do that \u2013 the laces look fab in the kid\u2019s boots too \u2013 hopefully it might even help them score a few extra goals!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can Go Gold too, buy buying your very own gold laces through Shine Bright Support\u2019s online shop, which can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shinebrightsupport.co.uk\/shop\">www.shinebrightsupport.co.uk\/shop<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fairford Youth Football Club&nbsp; have teamed up with local charity Shine Bright Support to raise awareness of childhood cancer this September.
