Helen Rollason Cancer Charity supports people living with cancer through research into new cancer treatments and an award-winning support centre in Springfield, Chelmsford.
The charity is named after the BBC sport and news presenter Helen Rollason MBE who sadly died of cancer in 1999. Sir Trevor was a good friend of Helen and he is a Vice-Patron of the charity.
He said: “I am really looking forward to talking about some of my career highlights with other football fans who share my lifelong passion for the game. I hope that this event will raise a lot of money for Helen’s charity which continues to support so many local cancer patients and their families.”
