Melbourne to Adelaide for Sydney

2013-09-22 7 Dailymotion

This might just be the most heart warming thing you see all day. <br /><br />Adelaide resident Sam Arnold is a single dad to an adorable 5-year-old son named Sydney. He recently wrote to the Melbourne Demons Football Club with a tear-jerking predicament: <br /><br />My name is Sam Arnold, I'm a 43-year-old lifetime supporter of the Melbourne Demons footy club. I was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, blood cancer. I've been struggling with this illness for many years, having much chemotherapy, blood transfusions and a bone marrow transplant at the Royal Adelaide hospital. I'm also a single father to a 5-year-old boy named Sydney. Due to my health, I've been unable to work for some time, so I cannot afford even to buy a present for my son. I was wondering if the Melbourne footy club may be able to donate a kid's supporter pack for my son's sixth birthday. It would really mean a lot to both myself and my son during my recovery. <br /><br />Check out the video above, courtesy of the Virgin Australia Film Festival, to see how the sports team responded. And just a warning -- you may want to have some tissues handy.
