Further Information about the Charity

In one year alone, bowel cancer will claim the lives of over 16,500 people - that is more than double the total runners in the Vienna Marathon! These statistics are truly frightening. With the exception of lung cancer, bowel cancer claims more lives in the than any other cancer. However, if diagnosed and treated early, bowel cancer is over 90% curable. 

Since 1993, the Fund has raised over £7 million and has funded pioneering research through fifteen Research Fellowships. The Fund has opened a Bobby Moore laboratory at St Mark’s Hospital, which is recognised as a leading centre of excellence both clinically and scientifically. The Bobby Moore Fund is a part of Cancer Research , which is also committed to raising the awareness of bowel cancer, and played an important role in lobbying of the government on bowel cancer screening. 

Your donation will go a long way towards funding a new Bobby Moore Fund clinical Research Fellowship or a Bobby Moore Project Award, ensuring the continuation of the vital first class research. To guarantee scientific excellence, these are awarded on an extremely competitive basis, allowing only the best scientists to undertake relevant and innovative clinical and translational research for three to four years.
