The race so far...

The success of The Bob Champion Cancer Trust in the research field owes much to our policy of rapid assessment for funding of carefully selected research projects, thereby opening the way to early investigation of any potential advances in treatment.

Message From Bob Champion MBE

With this site comes special thanks to all our fundraisers; I appreciate your continued hard work on our behalf, without which we would not be able to support the wonderful research team at our laboratory.

I would very much like to encourage interested fundraisers to take up the challenge of helping to raise valuable funds for the Trust. I know that both Lucy and Kate will be delighted to discuss any ideas you may have to assist our efforts.

May I take this opportunity of wishing you all well and I hope we can meet at one of our future events.

Bob Champion, MBE

He obtained his first degree at the University of Warwick and has trained at the National Institute of Health and at the Dana Farber Institute in the USA.
