Robert's £15,000 donation to Cancer
In the past three years Robert has largely been responsible for sending almost £15,000 to the Centre for use in the fight against Cancer and his latest donation came at a function in the Royal British Legion, Ballymoney, when Claire accepted a cheque for £3920.
The money was raised from a disco/karaoke night, raffle and auction on April 29 at the RBL with one punter paying £770 for a shirt worn by Ulster Rugby player Stephen Ferris.

She said: “This is absolutely incredible, absolutely amazing. The support we have got from the Stewart family and friends is brilliant.
“They have been great to work with and we really appreciate their efforts.”
The £15,000 has been raised during a three year period and is a testament to the popularity of Robert who is battling Cancer and who doesn’t allow the illness to get in the way of leading a fulfilling life.
