The Stiliyan Petrov Foundation, founded by the ex-Celtic and Aston Villa captain of the same name, is asking social media users to share the 'little things' they take for granted as part of a 30-day push to raise £100,000 for charity.

‘The Bigger Picture’ campaign looks to raise funds for lifesaving Leukaemia research, improved patient medical care and support for families at three primary organisations fighting cancer on different frontiers, the University Hospital Birmingham, University College London and the Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Leukaemia survivor Petrov's 30-day campaign enables donors to share a picture with the crowdfunded website via social media or email, to outline a special moment from their life.

Petrov said: “I’ve come to understand and appreciate the way in which this disease impacts the lives of so many. It can become a very costly process for families as they require travel, accommodation, and of course the cost of medical care.

“I can help, and I want to help set up a foundation and we can address the issues involved when people are diagnosed with this illness.”

To share a moment or make a donation to the foundation, hit the link.
