But for superfan Alfie\, there’s only one thing on his mind – football. \nSo\, when Alfie had the chance to meet his football heroes at Acorns Children’s Hospice\, where he and his family receive lifeline care and support\, he was over the moon. “I’ve played FIFA with Digne and I even beat McGinn 5-1 this year!” Alfie says. \nIt’s just one of the many precious memories Acorns has helped them create.[/vc_column_text]\n		\n            Support Acorns                    \n\n	[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”18693″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nEvent details\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
