Welcome to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation
Widely recognised as a fighter, Sir Bobby Robson has refused to give in to cancer an astonishing five times. He is still fighting 15 years after his first diagnosis and is currently undergoing treatment for tumours in his lungs.
You might think that at the age of 76, and having retired from football management, Sir Bobby would be taking a well earned rest and focusing all of his energies on his own health. But you would be wrong. He's set himself a new challenge.
Sir Bobby's big goal is to fight cancer - in his own battle with the disease and now 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. Sir Bobby's asking you to support him now by giving what you can to the Foundation. All donors will receive a personalised certificate and letter of thanks from Sir Bobby.
