Gianfranco Zola surprises Ed Garside

Gianfranco Zola gave eighteen-year-old Ed Garside the surprise of his life in a special meeting organised by Hyundai Motor UK, Stand Up To Cancer’s official partner.

Ed, who’s grown up supporting Chelsea, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia on his eighth birthday. After three years of treatment and intensive chemotherapy he was given the all-clear when he was eleven years old.

Ed thought he was heading to Stamford Bridge to talk about his experience of cancer and share his story as part of the partnership between Stand Up To Cancer and Hyundai, which is also the Global Partner to Chelsea Football Club. Little did he know, he was in for a big surprise.
