Remember Betty is a charity that Wood set up in 2008 in memory of his mother who died, aged 55, of breast cancer in 1999.[6] The mission of the charity is "to help minimize the financial burden associated with breast cancer for patients & survivors by providing direct financial support to them so that they can focus on recovery & quality of life."[7]
