“And she just made a movie with Anthony Hopkins. She had a small cameo in One Life, so she’s already following in his footsteps.”

Celebrities including Love Island’s Finley Tapp, EastEnders’ Thomas Law and Gogglebox’s Tom Malone Junior took part in the charity competition on Sunday 16 June.

And at half-time the crowd got emotional when social media star Tom James sang a rendition of I’m Glad You Came by Tom’s band The Wanted.

The Tom Parker Foundation Celebrity Fathers Day football match took place at Dorking Wanderers FC and is sponsored by Grove Gallery.

100% of the game’s proceeds will be donated to brain tumor charity Ahead of The Game, which helps fund life-saving treatments and supports affected families.

The charity invests in cancer patients and their families by providing rehabilitation, mental and emotional support and financial assistance.

It comes after Kelsey said their young children, Aurelia and Bodhi, are still making Father’s Day cards for Tom after his death.

Kelsey has remained open and honest in her life after his death with their children.

Sharing an update on Instagram on Sunday, the children were seen proudly holding up Father’s Day cards.

She explained: “Today is a difficult day for many. Look at this picture of happiness, you would never think that these happy, proud children would never in a million years grow up without their father, the most heartbreaking situation for me and my family, like so many others across the country.”

Kelsey continued: Father’s Day will never be the same without you, life will never be the same without you Tom.

“I need you so much right now because I’m facing big (and small every day) decisions about Rae and Bo and their future and I just want to know what you might think and what you want me to do.

“Please continue to guide us. I am so grateful for every little sign and to know that these children are so loved by all of us. I know you never leave their side. We celebrate you and all the fathers who deserve to be celebrated today.

‘Today it’s all about you Tom. Our annual charity football match held entirely in your name and in your honour. Thank you to our celebrity players, Scott, our MC and everyone who has worked hard over the last few months to plan this hugely important charity event.

‘To everyone who came to support us today: thank you very much. It is extremely important to us to make this event a great success. We want Tommy to feel our love on this special day.

She explained: “Today is a difficult day for so many. The most heartbreaking situation for me and my family, like so many others across the country’

“So let’s bring the joy, the love and the generosity. We have many children and families affected by brain tumors today and we want to make it special for them and raise a lot of money to help beat this terrible disease.

‘We hope we make you proud Tom. Happy Father’s Day to the best dad. You may not have had the chance to kick a ball with Bodhi and I will never understand how or why that opportunity was taken away from us, but I remain focused on the fact that you will be watching the boy’s every game. ever plays and you will sprinkle your gold dust on him every time.’

She added in an interview with The Mirror: ‘Heading up to Father’s Day it’s tough. Their teachers asked me, “Can I make cards in class?” and I said, ‘Yes, we will celebrate their father.’

Kelsey added, “We put their Father’s Day cards aside and look at them, just the same as we do on Mother’s Day.”

WHAT IS A GLIOBLASTOMA?

Glioblastoma is considered the most aggressive tumor that can form in the brain. Senator John McCain was diagnosed in July 2017.

According to figures, patients have a 10 percent chance of surviving five years after their diagnosis. The average lifespan is between 14 and 16 months.

Three adults in every 100,000 will be affected by glioblastoma, says the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS).

It is most common in men aged 50 to 60, and there is no link between developing glioblastoma and having a history of other cancers.

WHAT IS THE TUMOR MADE OF?

The tumor consists of a mass of cells that grows rapidly in the brain, and in most cases, patients have no family history of the disease.

The disease does not spread to other organs, but once diagnosed it is almost impossible to target, surgeons claim.

Unlike other types of brain cancer that are more specifically localized, glioblastoma can occur in any part of the brain.

WHAT TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE?

Because the tumor has likely spread deep into the brain by the time it is diagnosed, the cancerous tissue is incredibly difficult to remove.

The surgeon will only remove the tumor, or part of the tumor, if it is not causing damage to the surrounding brain tissue.

Dr. Babcar Cisse, a neurosurgeon at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, told Ny Breaking Online in July 2017: ‘By the time a glioblastoma is diagnosed, microfibers can spread to the rest of the brain, which an MRI would not detect .

“So even if the main tumor is removed and the patient gets radiation and chemotherapy, it will come back.”

EVALUATING A GLIOBLASTOMA

Brain tumors are classified from one to four depending on how quickly they grow and how aggressive they are.

Malignant tumors are given a high grade of three or four, while benign tumors are given a lower grade of one or two.

Glioblastoma is often called a grade four astrocytoma – another form of brain tumor, says the AANS.

SYMPTOMS

Patients typically complain of symptoms such as blurred vision, memory problems, dizziness and headaches.

Symptoms are somewhat nonspecific, vary from person to person, and may not last.

The disease is therefore impossible to diagnose based on symptoms alone.
