Isabelle Jones, from St George’s, who is nine this month, has been battling Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder for the last two years, which metastasized to her bones and lung.
Despite undergoing intensive treatments, the disease is now incurable and Izzy is undergoing palliative care.
Mum Claire Druce says that the family are trying to make as many memories with Izzy in the time she has left.
To help support the family, coaches, parents and supporters of Wrekin Juniors Football Club are playing a match in support of Izzy.
The match on Saturday kicks off at 2pm at Ringers Lane Playing Fields, Admaston.
Local pub, The Pheasant, is also offering pizza, drinks and post-match entertainment for the event.
All money raised is going to Izzy’s Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/9000smilesforizzy
