When Marina Dalglish was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, the Dalglish family were suddenly seeing hospitals from the other side.
Marina was treated at Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool and recovered.
And once she had come through it, the family wanted to do something more than just move on.
They wanted to say thank you properly.
“We set up the Marina Dalglish Appeal in 2005, to say thank you from the whole family for the support Marina received during her treatment for breast cancer.”
There was one simple aim.
“To make a difference.”
And over the years, it became much bigger than just one family’s thank you.
The money helped cancer patients on Merseyside and beyond.
It helped fund treatment centres.
It helped buy equipment.
It helped people who were going through the same sort of thing Marina had gone through.
By 2007, the appeal had helped raise £1.5 million for a new oncology centre at Aintree.
Later, it put £2 million towards an intra-operative MRI scanner at The Walton Centre, giving surgeons better technology while operating on patients with brain tumours and complex conditions.
But when people spoke about Kenny and all the admiration he received, he still turned it back to Marina.
“I’ve just always tried to do the right thing.”
Then he made sure the credit went where he felt it belonged.
“But as far as our Dalglish family is concerned, the real one to look up to has been Marina.”
“Her charity has raised millions and millions of pounds for cancer treatment on Merseyside.”
As of today the Marina Dalglish Appeal has raised over £14 million.

Sadiq Khan has called on ministers to take stronger action against social media companies that spreads what he calls “disinformation” about London’s crime rates.
Clapham looting, constant shoplifting, multiple stabbings & shootings but you posting about it is the problem. 🥴
🚨🇬🇧 London Mayor Sadiq Kahn is pissed about London being exposed as a dangerous filthy Craphole.
This comes after shocking daily clips of people getting stabbed, hordes of masked gangs running around with machetes, Kids causing complete chaos, crazy shoplifting, Police Officers being abused & Muslims taking over the streets to pray to Allah.
Low traffic neighbourhoods in Croydon ruled unlawful by High Court https://t.co/A0KrtnENTF main purpose was to raise money not health or environmental judge says. Await the lookalike campaigns!
JUST LISTEN TO THIS PATHETIC PERFORMANCE FROM STARMER!
A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT ON THE WORLD'S STAGE INSTEAD OF STANDING WITH OUR GREATEST ALLIES!
HE HAS DESTROYED OUR INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL HE IS REMOVED!
I’ll tell you something for nothing, this man would have been told nothing of the details around the strikes on Iran. No one trusts him, not Trump, not Israel, not even the people of the UK.
He’s a stooge, a pure puppet. 🇬🇧
#IranRevoIution2026
🚨STARMER REFUSES TO PARTICIPATE IN AIR STRIKES!
Instead, he calls a COBRA meeting.
Is our weakest ever leader inclined to help Iran and placate the Islamists within his own party?
How he is still PM after losing one of Labour’s safest seats is totally beyond me.
STARMER IS NOT FIT TO LEAD. LABOUR EMBARRASSES BRITAIN ON THE WORLD STAGE.
🚨🇬🇧 WATCH: GB NEWS CALLER DEMANDS STARMER BE “TRIED FOR TREASON”
He’s saying out loud what thousands of people already feel.
The public are watching borders, policing, free speech and national standards collapse, and they see a government that acts against the interests of its own citizens.
Rupert Lowe asks "What about the human rights of the British people not to be raped, stabbed or killed by foreigners who should never have been in our country to begin with" 👏👏
I’m starting to think Rupert Lowe is becoming ONE of the MOST important Politicians of our time.
If BULit21 win in the High Court against Uber - I believe the Trade should be looking to take TFL straight into Court as we believe they allowed Uber to carry on operating in London whilst knowingly illegal.
Whose in?
