cancer fundraising
All the profits raised from my Fields of Dawn album are going to 3 cancer charities. I thought it would be a nice idea to write down a little about the charities. As things stand £550 has been raised by pre-sales so far. I still have 77 Vinyl LPs and 35 CDs left, and if by some minor miracle I can sell the lot then the figure raised will rise substantially.

This photo typifies the wonderful support that I have had for my fundraising for almost 10 years. Barbara sent me this photo of her granddaughter with a Laura Lou teddy bear that arrived this week.

Kindness plays such a big part in my life these days. Time and time again I witness wonderful acts of kindness, and today it once again made my day. The recent release of the Laura Lou teddy bears supporting Laura Hopkinson’s Go Fund Me page led to my American friend Lisa asking me if she
Today the Laura Lou teddy bear found its voice. I’m sure she will have a few more things to say over the coming days ❤ These special bears are raising funds for Laura Hopkinson’s Go Fund Me page. Laura, who has stage 4 incurable bowel cancer, was recently diagnosed with 9 brain mets after having
Today I launched the Laura Lou teddy bears which are supporting my friend Laura Hopkinson, who has stage 4 bowel cancer. Since her diagnosis in 2018, Laura has had things extremely tough to put it mildly, simply trying to stay alive, including the brutal hipec surgery during the pandemic.

It’s now four years since I did my skydive for Bowel Cancer UK. It’s coming up for 10 years since I began fundraising, and looking back on this now it really was bonkers! Without doubt the scariest thing I have ever done in my entire life. I have always been happier with both my feet
