Robbie said:
'Playing for clubs like Manchester United I've faced a lot of challenges on the pitch but watching my father and my hero diagnosed with dementia has been the biggest challenge of my life. I've never felt so helpless. The money raised will support hundreds of thousands of people to live a better life with dementia today and hopefully find a cure for tomorrow.'
