STATEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA
On the 1st of September this beautiful beautiful boy Riley Townsend at just 12 years of age fell asleep and gained his angel wings. Riley was suffering from adhd/autism and the worst.. mental health issues. Riley was the kindest and loveable child and the highlight of any party. With his cheekiness and cute little face Riley would make anyone smile. Such a polite kid. But unfortunately due to his mental health decided he couldn't cope in this world no more and took is own life. Being apart of some well know football clubs TERVERSAL FC & KIRKBY COLTS FC in the Ashfield area as of many children, Riley was football crazy. Being a super midfielder to a superstar centre back and occasionally sneaking in for his cracking goals. I'm asking you all as coaches/parents/referees if this weekend just before you first K.O of the season please could you spare 1 mins silence for this beautiful boy 12 is no age to be taking your own life and I want his parents to know we are with them
Please let us bring awareness
RIP Riley
