A Heartwarming Gesture from Hull City Footballer

In a touching moment after a football match, Hull City player Yu Hirakawa went beyond the pitch to make a significant impact on a young fan's life.

After having her right leg and pelvis amputated due to a tragic accident, Maguire climbed the 199 steps of Whitby's iconic St Mary’s Churchyard. Battling adverse weather conditions, she was supported by family and friends, showcasing her bravery and commitment to making a difference for others in need.
