Aaiden Bellingham was a much loved young man who , as a result of a sudden cardiac episode , was sadly taken from his family and friends at the age of 24
Fondly known as ‘Skittles’, Aaiden was a well known and much admired member of the University of Canberra Football community, and had been recognised as their ‘Club Person of the Year’ in 2016. Following his passing, the following year, the UC Stars FC renamed the award in Aaiden’s memory.
The club now joins Aaiden’s Mom, Dad, Sister and past and presents members of the University of Canberra Stars/Pumas Football Clubs and members of the Belconnen SES unit as the driving force behind the Bellingham Cup which was launched in 2018 . Proceeds and donations from the event are gifted to the Agnes Ginges Centre for Molecular Cardiology at Centenary with nearly $30,000 raised to date.
