“Beards of Hope provides invaluable Pregnancy and Infant Loss support,” said Cornthwaite to the PFA.
“The reason I wanted to help raise money is so that men in my situation have somewhere to turn if they need to.
“I still have moments when it all comes back to me and I’m not sure how long that will last. I’m hugely honoured to be have been voted by the players as the inaugural PFA Community Medallist.”
