A huge congratulations to Katie, Eddie, Rachel, Laura, Ross, Brett, Anne, Dan, Lucinda and John for taking on the 13.1-mile challenge and raising funds and awareness for the Bob Willis Fund.

We’re delighted to announce that The Bob Willis Fund has been chosen as the charity for the 2026–27 captaincy year at Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club in Deal, Kent. 💙⛳🏏

Incoming Captain Tim Murphy chose the Bob Willis Fund following his own experience of prostate cancer in recent years, and with a shared love of cricket and golf, the charity is a particularly personal choice.

On Sunday 4 October, Tim brought together family, friends and club members for the first fundraising event of his captaincy, with 120 golfers taking to the course before around 180 guests sat down for lunch.

David Willis, Bob’s brother and co-founder of the Bob Willis Fund, was there to introduce the charity and talk about our work over the past six years, including the importance of research into identifying the more aggressive forms of prostate cancer and raising awareness of the need for men to discuss testing with their doctors.

We’re incredibly grateful to Tim, incoming Lady Captain Patricia Tordoir and everyone at Royal Cinque Ports for choosing the Bob Willis Fund as their sole charity for the year.

And this is just the beginning. The club has already committed to supporting us throughout the year, including a dedicated Bob Willis Fund fundraising day in June 2027, alongside other fundraising activities.

A huge thank you to outgoing captains Andrew and Jemma for their support, and congratulations to Tim and Patricia as they begin their year.

We’re looking forward to being part of it and very grateful to have the Royal Cinque Ports membership behind us. 💙

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Good luck to our Royal Parks Half Marathon team this Sunday! 💙

After all the training, the early mornings and the miles clocked up, it’s nearly time for our brilliant team of runners to take on 13.1 miles around London.

We’re particularly delighted to have Katie Willis, Bob’s daughter, among the team, alongside Rachel, Laura, Ross, Brett, Anne, Dan, Lucinda, Eddie and John.

A huge thank you to all of them for taking on the challenge and raising funds and awareness for the Bob Willis Fund.

We’ll be cheering you all the way to the finish line!

Good luck, team — enjoy it and run well! 💙🏃

What does your donation help us do? 💙

Every donation to the Bob Willis Fund helps support research into better ways of testing for prostate cancer, with the aim of detecting the disease earlier.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in the UK, yet there is still a need for better ways to identify it.

So when you donate to the Bob Willis Fund, you’re helping us support research that could improve how prostate cancer is detected.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, fundraised or supported us.

If you’d like to help, you can donate via the link in our bio.

The Bob Willis Fund, by the numbers. 💙🏏

From our first Blue For Bob Day to the final event in 2026, the B4B campaign has brought the cricket world together to raise funds and awareness around prostate cancer.

Over those six years, £2.2 million has been raised to support research into better testing and earlier detection.

But behind the numbers are thousands of supporters, fundraisers, volunteers and cricket fans who have helped make Blue For Bob what it is.

So, here are a few numbers that matter — and a very big thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey.

⛳ A great day on the course and a brilliant result for the Bob Willis Fund. 💙

A huge thank you to Andy Jones for organising a recent fundraising golf day, which saw 28 golfers take to the course in teams of four.

With good weather, some excellent golf and, we imagine, a fair bit of friendly competition, it was a great day all round.

Even better, the day raised an impressive £2,000 through the auction, raffle and donations.

A big thank you to Andy, everyone who took part and everyone who donated or supported the day. Your efforts are helping us fund research into better testing for prostate cancer and earlier detection.

We’re very grateful for your support. 💙
