Reds to wear Owen McVeigh Foundation T-shirts in warm-up
The Liverpool squad will wear Owen McVeigh Foundation T-shirts during their warm-up before the clash with Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday.
The club’s official training kit partner, BetVictor, offered to donate their rights for the match to the Owen McVeigh Foundation to help raise awareness of the cause at the high-profile Premier League game.
Jürgen Klopp’s team will therefore proudly wear the T-shirts, which pay tribute to the memory of Owen McVeigh, out on the pitch at Anfield as they warm up shortly before kick-off against the Gunners.
Owen, an ardent Red who was a regular at home and away matches, tragically died at the age of 11 shortly after being diagnosed with leukaemia in December 2015.
His parents, Mark and Joanne, established the Owen McVeigh Foundation, which aims to enrich the lives of local children suffering with cancer by providing them and their families with money-cannot-buy experiences.
The T-shirts have been sold to help raise funds, and Liverpool FC recently lent its support by selling a special version in three city stores and online – with all profits going directly to the Foundation.
The red edition has proved very popular among fans, too, and will be on sale at the new Anfield superstore when the Reds take on Arsenal.
