Despite living thousands of miles away from her native Teesside, Kay Murray will be pulling on her beloved Middlesbrough football shirt later this month to help a North East cancer charity that supported her own family.

Now a studio host of ESPN’s football coverage in the USA, Kay began her broadcasting career at Boro TV and remains as passionate about her hometown club as ever.

Her career has taken her all over the world, from Madrid to Miami, and she is now settled in Simsbury, Connecticut, where, this month, she will be joining supporters of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation from across the world and taking part in a very special 10km fundraising run.

Kay says: “My Dad received treatment at the Sir Bobby Robson Centre and I know how important the work there is for cancer patients, both now and for the future.

“The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation means everything to me because it gave my Dad hope and some happiness in his final days. The work they do is vital and it’s something the whole North East benefits from and can take pride in.

“I’m really happy to have this chance to show my support by doing Sir Bobby’s Football Run."

Free to enter, Football Runners are asked to try and raise £50 in sponsorship, which will then help the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation fund a range of cutting-edge cancer treatments and innovative support services that directly benefit patients from across the North East and Cumbria and which play a significant role in international efforts against the disease.

Wherever you live in this country or abroad like Kay Murray register for the run and put on your Boro red and white and run, jog, walk 10k or 5k for #SirBobbysFootballRun - the main driving force here is to get people outside and separately feeling they are part of a community - all doing something positive for themselves and for health. The fundraising is secondary to people getting out and about wherever in the UK or world they are. This is the real football family.
