Kevin’s story
On Sunday, March 2nd, I will be joining a group of likeminded, but undoubtedly more fabulously-dressed, folk to take a walk over burning embers, for ‘fun’ and for a far more valuable reason; raising funds for Cabaret vs Cancer.
‘Why on earth?’ is a question you might be asking yourself - and I might be doing the same in the bare-footed moment before stepping out onto the coals. It’s to help some terrific friends, of whom I am very proud, continue their work to support multiple causes through the charity that they set up nearly a decade ago. Cabaret vs Cancer has worked hard over that time to raise funds through world-class cabaret and burlesque (as well as getting twits like me to risk their soles) in order to support those affected by cancer.
They work with child bereavement teams in hospices to ensure they have the tools and support they need to help children who are losing, or have lost, a close relative. They also support various other organisations involved in cancer research and those currently dealing with a cancer diagnosis; from the manufacture of modern breast forms for post-mastectomy women in Cornwall; supporting the work of The Loss Foundation, Dragonfly Cancer Trust and many more.
To help them to continue that work, I’m taking my socks off in public and going for what I hope will be a short stroll over ‘cool wet grass… cool wet grass…cool wet OWWW,’. It could be excruciating. To make the jeopardy worthwhile, I would like to raise at least £500 in sponsorship, and would appreciate your help to in achieve that. Your donation will enable them to continue their incredible work helping to make the lives of those affected by cancer just a little better.
Thank you,
Kevin
