Welcome to rivers2cross, which is my cancer fundraising and raising awareness website that I set up after my mum died of bowel cancer in 2016. Profits from items in the online shop are donated to various cancer charities including Bowel Cancer UK, Love Hope Strength, The Bowel Movement, The BowelBabe Fund and Cancer Research UK.

For bowel cancer awareness month this April, the very special and cuddly King Pooie Orangutan is available. 100% of the profits raised by every sale will be donated to Bowel Cancer UK. You can have loads of fun with these as well raising funds and awareness about this awful disease x

On April 5th the three track Shining Star will be released and you can pre-order a copy now. Dedicated to the memory of Laura Hopkinson who died last November of bowel cancer aged just 42, leaving behind her two young children Ivy and George. In line with the family’s wishes, 100% of the profits from this release will be donated to MacMillan and St Oswald’s Hospice. Both charities were a big support to Laura. The lead track was written about and inspired by Laura who was just the most amazing soul. It comes in at over 8 minutes, totally over the top and breaking all the rules. I think Laura would approve x

“Destination Unknown” is the second cancer fundraising album from Fields of Dawn. It is now available from rivers2cross.com and once again 100% of the profits raised from every sale will be divided between three amazing cancer charities. Bowel Cancer UK, Love Hope Strength and The Bowel Movement.

The album features 11 brand new songs written and recorded over the course of Summer 2023. The album is being released on CD, Digital Download, Flash Drive and a one-off limited run of the LP on Vinyl. There are also some discounted multi format packages available. To keep prices down this time postage is not included in the listed prices, but will instead be calculated at check out.

The sound of the LP builds on the debut album, “A New Dawn” keeping the punky / power pop guitar sound. For this album I have switched from my BOSS digital recorder to Logic Pro on the Mac, which has enabled me to experiment with some different guitar sounds.

The difficult second album has flowed out and is in my opinion the best music I have produced to date. Thanks as always for the brilliant support x

THE WARRIOR COLLECTION

This very special Warrior Collection gives you the opportunity to buy some specially created merchandise with the word warrior in Chinese. You can also choose the charity you wish the profits raised by your order to go to. The lion has four options. There is either Warrior or Courage and you can choose whether you want the writing to be in Chinese or English. We all have some warrior in us and it doesn’t have to be down to making massive leaps in your life. It can equally be the smallest of things. I used to refer to Mum as a warrior, and sadly at the moment the cancer community has lost a number of courageous warriors x
