What an outstanding gesture by the Unknown Wigan Warrior player. :eusa2: :eusa2: :eusa2: :eusa2:

Brilliant gestures but I've said this before and I'm sorry
but I'm saying it again.
A devastated family trying to quickly raise funds for life
saving treatment for their child,and soon we will be raising millions once again for children-in-need,
with no clear indication of where the money goes.

This is a child in desperate need....why can't they apply
for any of this money?.
