Islanders in Guernsey are fundraising £120,000 for an operation to save a young boy's leg.
Ten-year-old Anthony McMahon was born with abnormal hip joints and short legs.
His right leg has been successfully corrected, but Guernsey's Health Department have refused to pay for operation on his left leg.
Around 200 people are expected to take part in a fundraising event today, to help pay for a vital operation to save a ten-year-old boy's leg.
Anthony McMahon, from Guernsey, needs the surgery to avoid having his leg amputated.
Guernsey's health department are refusing to fund the procedure.
25 teams have signed up to play in a 24-hour football marathon at Les Ormes Soccer Dome this afternoon.
So far, more than £25,000 has been donated to Anthony's JustGiving Page.
The surgery would cost around £120,000.
The event starts at midday today.
The weekend event coincides with International Pride Month and the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
The scheme has been backed by the island's Lieutenant-Governor, and is the first of its kind in the Channel Islands.
