Chairman: Tony Robinson
I was born in London.  At the time I was a salesman and later on I had my own business.  During this time I attended the Boxing Shows at the Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane, and I met Bud Flanagan, Jack Solomons a boxing promoter and Alex Alexander, who invited me to join the Committee of the Bud Flanagan Leukaemia Fund and I have served the Fund for over 40 years, raising funds for research into Leukaemia to help fight this terrible disease.

I am now retired and I devote much of my time planning events for the Charity.
