Bradley Lowery’s mum slams fake Facebook and JustGiving pages set up in son’s name to ‘gain likes’ as she reveals terminally ill boy is ‘very weak now’
BRADLEY Lowery's mum has slammed fake Facebook and JustGiving pages set up to get likes as she reveals he is "very weak now".
She said he is "fighting on" and will "only go when he decides" before she warned people to be aware of fake pages in his name.
She wrote: "Bradley is very weak now but is still fighting on in true Bradley style. He will only go when he decides, no one else."
Adding: "We have been made aware of fake pages created in Bradley's name to gain likes and even have justgiving pages linked to them, please be vigilant.
"Thankyou for your continued support and when the time comes it will be put on Bradley's official Facebook (here) and twitter before anyone else."
One page called 'Bradley Lower' claims it is a fan page to support the youngster but has been inundated with comments saying it should be shut down and that it isn't the official page.
Lynn Murphy, the family's fundraising manager, commented on a post this morning with a link to the official page, saying: "This page is Bradley's official page please unlike this page and follow the correct one x."
Earlier this week Bradley's mum posted a heartbreaking picture of the pained youngster with his older brother - as she revealed he is "deteriorating fast".
Mum Gemma posted the snap of the six-year-old being hugged by Kieran with the caption: "My two boys my world my everything".
The brave youngster has been battling neuroblastoma – a rare form of cancer – for most of his life.
It came after Gemma posted: "Bradley is deteriorating fast, his temperature is going very high his breathing very fast his oxygen levels low.
"He is sleeping most the time apart from odd times awake.
"We knew this was coming but we are heart broken beyond words.
"We have been told he could be like this for days it just depends on him and his body."
Terminally-ill Bradley recently enjoyed a beach holiday with his family after Gemma and dad Carl were told he has just weeks to live.
Gemma shared a touching snap of the Sunderland superfan beaming as he clutched a lollipop while “making the most of everything” on the trip.
She said: “We were told 3 weeks ago he had weeks to live and he is still going. I am so proud of him he is my little super star.
“I know he could change any day now and when that time comes it’s going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do but for now we making the most of everything.”

Bradley’s mum also posted a photo of him smiling behind the wheel of the car as the family headed on the trip.
But she revealed earlier this month that Bradley’s health is going downhill rapidly – as “new lumps and bumps” are found “each day”.
She shared the devastating news next to a picture of the youngster, whose story of bravery has touched the nation.
Footballer Jermain Defoe – Bradley’s “best friend” – revealed his pain at finding out best pal Bradley Lowery’s cancer was spreading fast – and that he doesn’t have long left to live.
The England striker texts the six-year-old’s mum first thing every morning for updates on the brave Sunderland lad.
Defoe struck up his friendship with Bradley back in September when the young cancer sufferer led out his beloved Sunderland against Everton at the Stadium of Light.
Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that most commonly affects babies and young children.
The disease develops from special nerve cells, known as neuroblasts, which get left behind from the child’s development in the womb.
It mostly begins in the sufferer’s adrenal glands located above the kidneys but can occur in the nerve tissue that runs along the spinal cord in the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis.
The vicious illness can then spread to other organs like the bone, bone marrow, lymph nodes and skin.
