Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has donated £5,000 to support Oscar Fairs, a 14-year-old West Ham U14 academy goalkeeper battling a rare brain cancer known as ependymoma. Fairs, who has been with West Ham since age six, has undergone multiple surgeries and treatments but is now in need of a specialized treatment called MEMMAT, available only in France. The GoFundMe campaign set up by Fairs' family has raised over £77,000 towards a £100,000 target, with contributions from other supporters, including West Ham chairman David Sullivan. Despite moving to Arsenal, Rice has maintained his connection to West Ham and has shown support for his former club and its fans. This act of generosity has been praised by many as Rice demonstrates his commitment to helping a young player in need, reflecting the sentiment that once a Hammer, always a Hammer.
