cancer fundraising
All the profits raised from my Fields of Dawn album are donated to 3 cancer charities. I thought it would be a nice idea to write down a little more about these amazing organisations. As things stand over £1100 has been raised by a New Dawn and the Reflections EP so far. I still have
The news of the death of Monique Buckingham, known to so many of us as @thelifeofmique, is beyond devastating. This beautiful young person had her whole life in front of her, and my thoughts at this very sad time are with her parents, Paul and Anne, and all her family and friends. What Monique went through, most of us will never be able to fully comprehend, and yet throughout she remained the most lovely, inspirational, warm and kind person you could ever wish to meet and become friends with. Bowel cancer is the most cruel and awful disease. Monique did everything she could to not just stay alive, but also to raise awareness so that others might not have to go through what she did.
This month marks 10 years of my fundraising. The anniversary gives me a chance to reflect upon and acknowledge the impact it has had on my own life.

A little over a year ago I sought help for depression and anxiety. Hard to sum my issues up in a few words, but I was unhappy, lonely, anxious, plagued by guilt and self doubts and living under a very dark cloud. Taking that first step of acknowledging I’d been living with these problems for so many years was a big step. I just thought it was a my “normal” and had just accepted it all as a part of life.
The Reflections EP from Fields of Dawn is released on November 18th. As well as being a digital download, it is also available on 10″ Vinyl for a very short time. The vinyl is being made to order and if you would like a copy please let me know as soon as you can, as I am placing the order in the next few days, and there won’t be any more runs of the vinyl after I’ve placed this order.
For Christmas this year I shall be releasing No Man’s Land from the Fields of Dawn album, A New Dawn, as part of a special 3-track EP. As with the album all profits will be donated to Bowel Cancer UK, Love Hope Strength and The Bowel Movement.
