Breast Cancer Care thanking event with Lisa Snowdon

Today I was lucky enough to be invited to a Breast Cancer Care’s HQ in London. The purpose of the day was to acknowledge to the continued support they have received from regular donators and an insight into what the charity is doing this year.
I was asked to shoot some very special guests who have raised a fantastic amount of money (£926,000 and counting) over the last year!

Lisa Snowdon attended the day to thank donators from the last year. As an ambassador of Breast Cancer Care Lisa always shows strong support for the charity.

“Lisa Snowdon has helped Breast Cancer Care in many ways, from encouraging her Capital Radio listeners to support us, to joining our Pink Fridays campaign and encouraging people to be breast aware. Lisa is a very passionate supporter of our work since her grandmother and aunt have both experienced breast cancer.”
