Kevin Keegan kindly supported us during his tenure as @newcastleunited.com manager - and spent time with one of our earliest supporters, Johnny Bliss from Washington, when he was facing cancer.
Everyone at our Foundation wishes Kevin all the very best following his own cancer diagnosis.

It’s the Wear Tyne derby today! 🥳
Sir Bobby loved the passion but said of the great rivalry, “cancer takes no account of colour – black and white or red and white, we’re all the same.”
A huge day for fans of both clubs and we’re hoping for an entertaining game! ❤️🤍🖤🤍

Yes. I set up the DeadManRunning1 tag on the other place in 2019.
I had inadvertently signed up for the Great North Run, my first ½ marathon in 30 years, to raise money for @sbrfoundation.bsky.social where I was on my first clinical trial for stage 4 bowel cancer.
