Welcome to rivers2cross, which is my cancer fundraising and raising awareness website that I set up after my mum died of bowel cancer in 2016. Profits from items in the online shop are donated to various cancer charities including Bowel Cancer UK, Love Hope Strength, The Bowel Movement, The BowelBabe Fund and Cancer Research UK.

Acoustic Dawn is the brand new album from Fields of Dawn featuring 10 tracks. 9 reworkings of songs from the band’s first four years and one brand new song. All profits from the release are being donated to Love Hope Strength co-founded by Mike Peters of The Alarm.

Having responded well to treatment he is currently cancer free and in remission, and awaiting a stem cell transfer.

DESTINATION UNKNOWN

“Destination Unknown” is the second cancer fundraising album from Fields of Dawn. It’s available from rivers2cross.com and 100% of the profits raised from every sale will be divided between three amazing cancer charities. Bowel Cancer UK, Love Hope Strength and The Bowel Movement.

The album features 11 brand new songs written and recorded over the course of Summer 2023. The album is being released on CD, Digital Download, Flash Drive and a one-off limited run of the LP on Vinyl. There are also some discounted multi format packages available. To keep prices down this time postage is not included in the listed prices, but will instead be calculated at check out.

The sound of the LP builds on the debut album, “A New Dawn” keeping the punky / power pop guitar sound. For this album I have switched from my BOSS digital recorder to Logic Pro on the Mac, which has enabled me to experiment with some different guitar sounds.

The difficult second album has flowed out and is in my opinion the best music I have produced to date. Thanks as always for the brilliant support x

THE WARRIOR COLLECTION

This very special Warrior Collection gives you the opportunity to buy some specially created merchandise with the word warrior in Chinese. You can also choose the charity you wish the profits raised by your order to go to. The lion has four options. There is either Warrior or Courage and you can choose whether you want the writing to be in Chinese or English. We all have some warrior in us and it doesn’t have to be down to making massive leaps in your life. It can equally be the smallest of things. I used to refer to Mum as a warrior, and sadly at the moment the cancer community has lost a number of courageous warriors x

CUDDLY ANIMALS

There are a whole range of charity teddy bears to choose from. The profits raised by these teddies are supporting individuals and charities. Click on any of the bears to purchase or for more details.

100% of the profits raised from sales of items in the store are donated to charity. Items for sale include books, cuddly toys, t-shirts, art, wristbands and mugs.
