Ben Jay support/tribute thread - update from Ben's Dad p20

Ben Jay is a 17 year old dedicated Addick who attends matches at The Valley with his mates, watching from the Covered End.

Sadly, Ben has been diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer and has now learned that the Chemo treatment is not working. He is in a lot of pain but is still determined to attend games. 

Tracey Leaburn learned of Ben's condition in August & subsequently arranged for him to meet his favourite player, Jake Forster-Caskey pitch side at The Valley- an experience that he couldn't stop talking about !

" Our Tracey " has also been able to support Ben by arranging additional surprises for him, and on Tuesday evening, he visited the Charlton TV Studio to chat with Scott, Curbs & Matty H and then was able to watch the match with his pals & his family from an Exec Box which was kindly "donated" for this game. I understand that he has a signed shirt/s, a signed captain's armband from the Ipswich encounter & last but not least, received a visit from Thomas ! 

Tracey reported that Ben couldn't stop smiling when the final whistle was blown after witnessing a great performance from our boys and an evening to remember.

It would mean a lot to the family if you could post messages here showing your support for Ben & to assure him that he's in your thoughts as he bravely battles against this evil disease.

Let's do what the Charlton Life family does best.

Thank you.

MOD NOTE 8/1/2022 - a JustGiving donation page has been set up for Ben. @Fanny Fanackapan has explained the background to it in this post

    Wow Ben! I don't know how you're managing but so glad you could make it down for that match on Tuesday - you must be a fighter like our own club captain. Sounds as though you had a great night and what a match! Another big one on Saturday - keep coming, keep adding to our special Valley atmosphere, and maybe, just maybe, we can still have a magical 2022. Thinking of you Mate.

    Keep fighting Ben and continue to do all the things that you want to do. The Charlton family will be behind you all the way. Fantastic that you were there for the Ipswich game, I'm a long serving supporter and I've not seen many games better than that.

    Hi Ben,
    Sounds like you've been spending more time on the treatment table than JFC, which is saying something!
    I'm so pleased that the team was able to put on a proper performance for you on Tuesday night, and I hope you'll be at The Valley again soon to experience a repeat.
    It's great that you've got good mates  and your mum sounds like a proper trooper too. My very best wishes go to both of you. All the best for Christmas, the new year and the rest of the season!

    Hey Ben - you keep on fighting hard, and you WILL win through

    And with Jacko at the wheel, our mighty Addicks WILL be at Wembley next year, and WILL triumph in the play off final

    And if you have a quiet word with your new best mate Thomas, you WILL in the Directors Box at Wembley that day, and thousands of your fellow fans will be cheering not only OUR team but YOU as well

    Have a great Christmas mate, you deserve it
