Amber Sheehy: What happened to her and Cause of death
Amber Sheehy’s family and friends are saddened by the news of her passing. Amber was an incredible child who touched many people’s hearts, in particular Norwich City Football Club supporters who had the privilege of applauding Amber from the stands. The story of how she battled a medulloblastoma brain tumor with bravery and resilience only added to her tremendous legacy.
In April 2019, at just five years old, she began feeling headaches and morning sickness, leading to a diagnosis of a tumor. Her family took care of Amber as she underwent surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy in hopes of eliminating the tumor. Even after spending two years at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, more tests revealed the illness had returned but could not be treated. Despite this tragic situation, Amber will forever remain a beacon of hope for all cancer fighters, and those who loved her will remember her inspiring spirit.
Amber Sheehy fought a brave fight for three and a half years. Despite the tough journey set in front of her, she stayed strong, always seen with a smile and laugh. Not once did she let her bald head or tubes coming from her body get the better of her. Sadly, Amber passed away on January 14, 2023 but despite it all, she made sure to never surrender even until the very end.
Canaries fan of the season
Amber has certainly earned her recognition this season as the Canaries fan of the season and the club’s May Community Hero! After being diagnosed with a brain tumour at an early age of five, she was awarded the 2021–2022 Michelle Dack Fan of the Season, which included a trophy and shirt personalized with a signature.
Later this month, Amber had the privilege to collect her rewards from the Lotus Training Centre at Colney. Her strength and positivity landed her goal-side conversations with some members of the first team, particularly Tim Krul and Angus Gunn, from which she was inspired to make her mission of playing goal for her first team next season known! We look forward to her success that is surely on its way.
