‘Robbiesrally’ (www.robbiesrally.com) was conceived by Robbie Keville's family.   Robbie was always one of our keenest sportsmen and vibrant pupils at Edgeborough. When Robbie was 6, he lost his mother, Kate to breast cancer. He decided then to become a doctor. Possessed of a good mind, there was no doubt that Robbie had the ability to realise his ambition one day. However, aged 8, he himself was diagnosed with cancer - a malignant brain tumour. Despite the best efforts of wonderful medical staff, he died aged 10 in February 2016.

During his life, Robbie made a great many friends and admirers. The charity was his idea. He named it, thought of the original fundraising event (the inaugural ‘robbiesrally’ on Valentine’s Day 2015) and was ambitious for its success.

We wish to help fulfil the aim of robbiesrally, namely to provide staff to rehabilitate children with brain tumours. robbiesrally is a fund within Southampton Hospital Charity. Registration number: 1051543.

 At Edgeborough, we are actively taking part in all things ‘Robbie’. Already we have completed a robbiesramble and robbiesrevel and we are looking forward to robbiesreindeer on Saturday 3rd December!
