Story

Take one Sunday League football team with limited musical ability. Add a London recording studio, a cameraman, a music producer and a challenge to sing for 12 hours straight. Throw in a wonderful cause and you've got the Oakwood Singathon.

The Robert Sinclair Davidson Foundation is a charity offering financial support to young couples and families who have been affected by life threatening and terminal illness. 

Robert was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2015, at the age of 33. A sports fanatic, Robert used to go to the gym four times a week with his wife Sariet, and loved playing squash and football. Despite the loss of mobility in his limbs, and no longer being able to speak, Robert uses his wheelchair and computer to continue working as a lawyer and remains socially as active as ever. In the January after his diagnosis, Robert and Sariet were blessed with a beautiful baby daughter, Maya Belle.

Since his diagnosis, Robert and Sariet have faced numerous challenges. Living with a terminal illness, or caring for someone who is, can put a strain on finances. They know first-hand that a serious illness or terminal diagnosis can affect everything.

It is now their wish to help other young couples and families going through similar circumstances to take back some control in their life. From help with money worries and grants for specialist equipment to providing some much needed respite, The Robert Sinclair Davidson Foundation exists to provide financial support to those who need it the most.

We believe passionately that life doesn’t end when illness begins.
