Matt's Great North Run Fund - Sir Bobby Robson Foundation

Bupa Great North Run 2011 · 18 September 2011 ·
Sir Bobby Robson fought cancer an incredible five times. Sadly, 17 years after his first diagnosis, he lost that long and courageous battle on 31 July 2009. But for me, that makes the final score:
Sir Bobby 4 - 1 Cancer.
During the last 18 months of his life, and after retiring from football management, Sir Bobby worked hard towards a new goal - fighting cancer through his charity.
The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation focuses on the early detection and treatment of cancer and the clinical trials of new drugs that will eventually beat it.
Through generous support, the charity has already equipped the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre, which was constructed by the Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. It has also funded two specialist research posts, a doctor and a nurse.
Sir Bobby gave his own time and energy to this cause but his career in football taught him that no man is an island, nobody can do it all on their own. You've got to have the commitment of a great team and the passionate support of the fans behind you, and so I hope you can help me to reach my target of £350 that I am aiming to raise for such a great cause.
Thanks
