Wise Men Say

SPECIAL EPISODE w/Faye Fantarrow

For once, it's not the usual football chat or silliness here unfortunately.


Matt spoke to Sunderland singer-songwriter Faye Fantarrow, who was recently diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumour at the age of only 20.


Faye is fundraising for curative treatment in the USA and needs to raise £450,000 to make this happen.


Here, Faye and her sister Abigail talk about the diagnosis, and how the city has rallied around Faye's cause over the last week.
