The occasion began in 2011 and the fund is in memory of legendary footballer, Bobby Moore OBE and was set up by his widow, Stephanie Moore MBE - since its inception over £27million has been raised to help pioneering research into the disease.

Head of Corporate Giving at The Stars Group, Sue Hammett, says they're proud to continue to support such a worthwile event on the Isle of Man.
