Yorkshire Cancer Research funds world-leading research to help prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer in the region.

Keith followed in his father’s footsteps as Almondbury Wesleyan Cricket Club Secretary, a role he held for 33 years.

Steve Fonquernie-Fisher, Club Chairman, said: “Keith has undertaken his role with pride and dedication for many years. Our Club sought to recognise and celebrate his retirement as Club Secretary.

“Instead of a personal gift, Keith requested funds for Yorkshire Cancer Research, a cause that is close to his heart. It was our privilege to organise the Charity Day and support the pioneering work of Yorkshire Cancer Research.”

Keith has been a member of Yorkshire Cancer Research’s Huddersfield Volunteer Group for almost 37 years.In 2023 he sponsored the Almondbury Wesleyan Cricket Club Under 9 team, on behalf of Yorkshire Cancer Research.
