TEN thousand pounds was raised at a charity dinner hosted by Nottingham Forest footballer Billy Sharp.
The striker and his partner, Jade Fair, set up the Luey Jacob Sharp Foundation last year after son Luey died aged two.
The charity works to raise money for research into the disease gastroschisis, which Luey died from.
It is still not known what causes the disease, which is usually picked up by week 14 of pregnancy.
The dinner and auction, at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium on November 14, was attended by 290 people, including footballer James Beattie, ex-international Matt Le Tissier and Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher
