A host of familiar faces from television, reality TV, sport and social media are heading to Chippenham this Sunday (15th November) for a special celebrity charity football match at Chippenham Town Football Club.
Organised by Sellebrity Soccer, the event will see players take to the pitch for an afternoon of football and fundraising, raising money for eight-year-old Ryley and his family’s campaign, Ryley’s Dream to Walk.

Ryley’s Dream to Walk
At the heart of Sunday’s match is eight-year-old Ryley, from Borehamwood, who has faced extraordinary challenges since being born three months prematurely.
After being resuscitated at birth, Ryley was diagnosed with congenital heart disease and later with periventricular leukomalacia, dystonia and spastic diplegia cerebral palsy.
His family were initially told he might never be able to walk, talk or feed himself. Determined to explore every opportunity, they raised funds to take him to America for life-changing surgery, including Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) and tendon-lengthening surgery.
Today, Ryley continues to defy expectations, making important progress through ongoing physiotherapy and specialist treatment.
He needs daily physiotherapy, two private sessions each week, bespoke orthotic splints, specialist equipment and intensive therapy abroad. Funds raised through events like this will help support his ongoing treatment and his dream of walking.
