I WAS EXCEPTIONALLY PROUD TO DONATE £5,000 TO FARESHARE - THE FOOD CHARITY
This book has a page which mentions the excellent Manchester United Striker, Marcus Rashford. A young guy who has been working with the equally incredible food charity, FareShare. In April 2020, Marcus helped raise £20 million towards the charity. I remembered reading this story, not a huge piece, in the news, and his upbringing and how important food banks were in supplying a daily meal to families in need.
Corona has multiplied the situation, with FareShare tripling it’s output of meals. And it is more important now than ever to help.
I was compelled to donate £5,000 of my own money towards the charity. This money will buy 20,000 meals! Which is incredible. I am able to do this due to the sales of this book. So in a roundabout way, every one who has purchased an Artists Edition book, has been part of this lovely gesture.
