The Springbok jersey. A cancer diagnosis. An ongoing curiosity about living well.
Rob’s story is about sport, resilience and making the most of the life in front of him.
The game stays with you.
Rob represented South Africa in 19 Tests between 1980 and 1984. A Western Province loose forward, he played in the Springbok side that faced the British and Irish Lions in 1980 and toured New Zealand in 1981.
When life changed in 2009.
Rob was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in 2009. He travelled to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston for specialist care and underwent surgery. Medical treatment and follow-up were central to that chapter of his life.
The discovery that stayed with him.
During his cancer fight, Rob discovered curcumin and made it part of his personal routine alongside specialist care. Curcumin sparked a lasting interest in natural ingredients, including turmeric, green tea and black pepper.
Years of reading and experimenting with his daily routine eventually led to Rob’s Choice: formulas with a clear purpose and every amount stated.
More life in the everyday.
Performance longevity gives that ongoing journey a name. The ambition is to keep movement, sport, family and a sense of wellbeing in the picture as the years go on.
