Beyond The Torch

Last year I joined the new Teenage Cancer Trust committee in Cardiff, called ‘Teen Spirit’. This is a charity I have supported for a couple of years now, as it is a cause close to my heart. We have lots of events planned, but two members of the committee have created something very special which I wanted to share here.

 Lara Cowpe is a cancer survivor and has been an avid fundraiser for the Teenage Cancer Trust over recent years, having raised a staggering £30,000 for the charity. She was selected to be an Olympic torch bearer in Barry during the recent torch relay, and Elizabeth McGuire had the amazing idea of taking hundreds of photos of Lara in the run up to and during the relay. The photos give an amazing insight into the iconic torch relay, possibly the only time this will happen in our lifetime.

However, most importantly of all, Elizabeth has created a photobook entitled ‘Beyond the Torch’ which is now on sale, with all proceeds going directly to the Teenage Cancer Trust. This is the only book of its kind that has been created, making it truly unique. For more information, please see the preview book 

Please buy a copy for the full experience; remember every penny goes to the Teenage Cancer Trust to help them in their vital work to improve the lives of teenagers with cancer.
