Either directly or through friends and family, cancer will probably affect all of us at some point in our lives. After the recent loss of public figures like David Bowie and Alan Rickman, and considering the ways in which cancer has touched our own lives, we wanted to find our own small way to help.

This is the second year that we (James Webster and Dana Bubulj) have decided to combine our artistic and writing skills for a charity challenge (you can see our efforts from last year here: https://websterpoet.wordpress.com/tag/sheltercenturion/). We really hope that this year we can, once more, put our creative output to some concrete use.

So, inspired by the efforts of previous poets who've completed the '100 poems in a day challenge', we are once more setting out to create 100 pieces of poetry/prose infused art in the space of a single weekend.

That day is Friday 18 to Sunday 20 March. You can follow our progress on the day at https://websterpoet.wordpress.com/ and https://danabubulj.wordpress.com/

If you're able to spare anything at all to sponsor our efforts, we would be incredibly grateful. If not, then tweeting us some support during what promises to be a very long day would also be super-awesome of you (@websterpoet @pinstripeowl).
