Leeds United have announced their players and staff will donate a day's wages in a bid to raise money for four-year-old neuroblastoma patient Toby Nye.

The treatment required to save Toby's life is not routinely available on the NHS and costs £200,000. High-risk neuroblastoma is a rare form of cancer that rapidly spreads.

Leeds will hold 'One Day for Toby' on the day of their match against Sheffield United, with players, backroom staff and office staff all donating a day's wages.

They will be joined by workers at charity Leeds United Foundation and Leeds's parent company Aser on October 27.

Chairman Andrea Radrizzani said: 'Toby and his family met with me recently and I was deeply moved by his situation, as we all are.

Chairman Andrea Radrizzani said the club is a family and therefore needs support

'At Leeds United we do things as a family, Toby is part of our family and he needs our help, I know our supporters will unite behind us and together we can get him the treatment he needs to get better.'

Should the NHS fund his treatment, the money raised will be used to help other families.

Neuroblastoma is the form of cancer that Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery suffered from before sadly passing away in July 2017.
