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. |
