A TEN-YEAR-OLD football fan who has raised thousands for charity is looking to take his fundraising across the pond.
Jonjo Heuerman, from Wilmington, who has walked from Wembley to West Ham’s Upton Park for the past two years in memory of his Grandma Lynda who died of cancer and Sir Bobby Moore is hoping to take his fundraising stateside.
The youngster, who has raised £76,000 for The Bobby Moore Foundation for Cancer Research and an estimated £1million in awareness, has been contacted by a 10-year-old Nathalia from LA who wants to join him on an equivalent 27-mile walk from The Rose Bowl to LA Galaxy.
His family has written to American firms and even President Obama for sponsorship to make the trip a reality.
