When I was writing my book LOVE BEYOND LOVE, I made the decision that should it ever get published, I would donate my author royalties to two charities.
Recently I donated £600 author royalties that I received from November 2022 to November 2023 to the following charities.
The Fire Fighters Charity:
The charity offers lifelong support for UK firefighters and their families.
Over the years I have received physiotherapy, which at the the time enabled me to return to full duties following a work related injury.
My late wife and I were able to have rest and recuperation stays at one of the centres, during her treatment.
Since my wife's death I have had further recuperation stays with my children.
I have also received grief counselling from the charity. After losing my wife and both parents in less than two years, I found it to be really helpful.
The Fire Fighters Charity is there for me always, and knowing that I can pick up the phone anytime for support, is my comfort blanket.
See the case study below.
Cancer Research UK:
(copied from Cancer Research UK website)
'Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive.
Our ambition is to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.'
I have received letters of thanks from both charities.
I will continue to promote my book and attend book signing and events, and together we can support these wonderful charities.
Thank you so much.
