The new single 'Blue Sky Thinking' is available now for download from iTunes. It's my first single and probably my last! All proceeds from sales will be donated to the LoveHopeStrength Foundation. At last I'm doing something tangibly useful instead of acting the goat and playing the guitar just for fun..
..My inspirational, beautiful, gifted mother died a few years ago of cancer. Her life touched many others in a very positive way, but was cut way, way too short by this far-reaching disease. Today British scientists announced they have found almost all the genes responsible for breast cancer and are well on the way to finding the ones responsible for other forms. This will enable us to target people most at risk with simple screening procedures in the near future. In the early 70s the 5 year survival rate after diagnosis with cancer in the UK was 21%. Today it is 46%. There is hope and things are getting better, but funding for this kind of research needs to be ramped up and not scaled down.
"Blue Sky Thinking' is about making your dream happen, so to me it fits in with the aims of the foundation - set up by Mike Peters and James Chippendale who have both successfully fought off cancer.
Thanks
Nick
