Nick Embiricos with Bob and Aldaniti at Aintree, 1981. The interest and enthusiasm generated by racing’s greatest fairytale led to the foundation of the Bob Champion Cancer Trust in 1983. Since then the Trust has raised in excess of £15 million.

In 2000 in conjunction with the Institute of Cancer Research, the Trust opened the Bob Champion Cancer Research Laboratories in Surrey, creating the first male dedicated research centre in Europe. The Trust’s second facility, the Bob Champion Research and Educational Building, was opened in February 2015 within the campus of the University of East Anglia. It is within these facilities that their current research projects take place on prostate cancer. In the UK it has been estimated that one in every 9 men will develop prostate cancer. The incidence of this disease is also increasing and, within the next decade, is set to overtake colon cancer and even lung cancer to become the most common cancer in men. Prostate cancer, therefore, represents a major national health problem.
