West Sussex firefighters have shown their support for an Angmering boy who was one of the first NHS patients to receive proton beam therapy in the UK.

Mason Kettley, 15, is waiting to receive the results of his 28 treatments for a rare brain tumour at The Christie Hospital in Manchester, but his stepdad Ryan Baker says he is doing really well.

Ryan, a firefighter at Gatwick, organised a charity football match at Ferring Football Club on Sunday, with the help of Ferring Brazilian Masters Youth (FBMY), to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity.

The family was then seen on BBC One on Monday night in Horizon, following the NHS team that brought proton beam therapy to the UK and Mason’s journey through treatment.
