Super spin bowler Graeme Swann took time out from Durham Ashes preparations to deliver his support for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Graeme, pictured with Lady Elsie Robson and her son Paul, is on the volunteer committee of the on-line Sir Bobby's Breakthrough Auction aiming to raise £1 million this October for the Foundation, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and hospital cancer services.
Jose Mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson, Josep 'Pep' Guardiola, Andre Villas Boas, Alan Pardew, Arsene Wenger, Lewis Hamilton, Gary Lineker, David Beckham, Graeme Swann and Ant and Dec have all donated prizes previously for the auction and this year's prizes already look set to match those.
They already include a VIP trip to F1 racing in Monaco by private jet, exclusive tickets to the 2014 PFA awards dinner and catamaran sailing for ten around the British Virgin Isles.
Graeme said: "I was a huge fan of Sir Bobby and now I get to help his charity and support these other great charities too. It's win win for me.
"Sir Bobby's Breakthrough Auction is something I'm proud to be involved in and I'm offering a bowling training session as a prize - or batting, I can do a bit of that too!"
Lady Elsie said: "Bob absolutely loved cricket and I know he'd be thrilled by the support Graeme's giving this auction."
