Gav, who appeared in the Channel 5 TV series Police Interceptors, tragically lost his battle with cancer earlier this year.

To show their support, 110 staff ran or walked a mile around Durham Police Headquarters earlier this year as part of their annual Mile with a Smile fundraising event.

Gav’s wife, Kezi, says: “The experience that both Gav and I had of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation was hugely positive.

“I hope this donation will go some way in helping them to continue their amazing work in developing new and effective lorazepam sale no prescription ways of detecting and treating cancer, and hopefully give hope to other families in the future.”
