Fifteen young cancer patients and their families swapped the wards of the Great North Children's Hospital for the putting green as part of a special charity golf day in Gosforth.
Families such as the Bannisters - Adam, seven, is undergoing treatment after developing a kidney tumour - and the Hartleys - Lilly, 13, has an inoperable brain tumour - took to the greens at City of Newcastle Golf Club in Newcastle. The club's ladies' captain Louise Lewis organised the event in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Adam and Lilly are just two of the many children supported by the foundation's Gareth Williams, who works running a support service for paediatric oncology patients at the GNCH. Gareth works for the Newcastle United Foundation in a role funded by the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation itself.
