World Book Day 2017 - Lives & Times Charity Book Has Raised Over £3000

Today is World Book Day 2017, and if there is one book you might consider buying then please take a look at the Lives & Times fundraising book for the Beating Bowel Cancer charity. Over the course of 18 months I met and photographed people from all walks of life to form the chapters of Lives & Times. Every single person taking part has given up their own time to do it and all funds raised go to Beating Bowel Cancer. Inside the book there are over 100 photographs and over 40,000 words. Since publication the book, along with a limited edition screen print by artist Adam Green, has raised over £3000.

I began the book in 2014 two years after my mother had been diagnosed with bowel cancer. She was in fact in remission as I began the book. However the cancer came back as I was doing the book, which was published in November 2015. Sadly my Mum lost her battle with cancer on August 29th, 2016 after a four year battle with this awful disease.
