Book byBob  Champion  MBE
In his own words Bob talks of his early life, his path to becoming 
a professional jump jockey and how it felt being at the top of his 
game only to have it come crashing down with a life-threatening 
diagnosis. The depths of despair going through the radical new 
cancer treatment he was offered and the heights of joy with that 
famous Grand National victory.
This new biography also looks at the whirlwind adventure his life has 
been since that glorious spring day at Aintree and examines the 
tremendous fund raising efforts of the Bob Champion Cancer Trust.

MY STORY
Bob Champion was born in Guisborough, Yorkshire, England. At the 
height of his career as a jockey, he was diagnosed with testicular 
cancer in July 1979. He was treated with an orchidectomy and with 
the chemotherapeutic drugs bleomycin, vinblastine and cisplatin, 
and also had an exploratory operation to identify cancer in his 
lymph nodes.
His victory on Aldaniti was viewed by many as a 
great triumph, following his previous adversity. Their victory 
earned them that year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year 
Team Award and was chosen as one of the 100 Greatest Sporting 
Moments by Channel 4 viewers in 2002.
THE  BOB  CHAMPION  CANCER  TRUST
The Bob Champion Cancer Trust was established in 1983. We support 
and raise funds for the Bob Champion Cancer Research Laboratory, 
which forms part of the largest male dedicated research facility in Europe, 
situated at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, Surrey.
And for our research team at the Bob Champion Research and Education 
Building at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, Norfolk.
