Brave cancer survivor Bradley Lowery has been awarded 41st place in Saturday’s Grand National, which is the biggest horse race.
In order to raise awareness about the kid’s rare condition, neuroblastoma, the jockey Club gave the kid a symbolic place in the race.
Little Bradley has his own favorite colour same as his beloved team Sunderland kit. His trainer for the event is his pal Jermain Defoe.
Lowery has had some rise to status since becoming buddy with Defoe earlier this season. The club has taken him under its wing, but he has been embraced by other clubs all over the country.
When he was just 18 months old, he was contracted with cancer and fought for two-years with the disease, which he recovered. In July, the disease returned and became life threatening again.

She said: “Myself and my husband had a meeting with the medical staff yesterday at Great Ormond Street about the new trial Bradley has been accepted on.
“It has been made clear to everyone that the trial is on phase 1. This means it is in very early stages and cannot be deemed as a miracle cure.
“There is no evidence yet to say it will work, there is a high possibility it won’t.”
