About The Bob Willis Fund
OUR MISSION: THE BOB WILLIS FUND HAS BEEN SET UP TO RAISE MONEY FOR PROSTATE CANCER RESEARCH & AWARENESS, WITH THE AIM OF ACHIEVING A NATIONAL SCREENING PROGRAMME IN THE NEXT 3-5 YEARS
Your Impact
Regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time, Bob Willis is a former England Cricket Captain, International Cricket Council Hall of Fame member and much loved Sky Sports broadcaster. He remains England’s fourth-highest
Prostate cancer is the number one diagnosed male cancer in the UK, killing 11,500 men a year. 1 in 8 men get prostate cancer, increasing to 1 in 4 if you are black. There is still no national screening programme. The current prostate-antigen (PSA) test is unreliable. It didn’t work for Bob. We need better and quicker ways to detect prostate cancer and this is the core purpose of The Bob Willis Fund, with the majority of the money raised going to specific, prostate cancer diagnosis projects. Bob was a healthy 66-year-old when he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in April 2016. He underwent every treatment thrown at him without complaint. He died 3 years and 8 months later in December 2019, aged 70.
