Dan Burn visited the Great North Children’s Hospital in midweek to surprise young Newcastle United supporters. Opened in 2010, the hospital - based in the city centre - tends to children suffering from serious illnesses.
The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation has supported the infirmary since its inception in 2008. With 245 beds, the Great North Children’s Hospital has, according to its website, “the most extensive range of children’s services” outside of London.
A local lad, Burn knows the importance of giving back to the community. The Blyth-born defender admits having children himself reinforces the need to get involved.
