Wonderland Challenge 2 - Cancer Research Giving Page from Brad Shaw

Hello, Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page. I'm Brad Shaw, voice actor and founder of VO training community Wonderland VO. At the beginning of the first lock down, I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma and had to undergo a year of immunotherapy at the wonderful Royal Marsden Hospital in London. Just as I was getting over that, I got prostate cancer and had a HIFU operation just over a year ago at the Charing Cross Hospital. Recently, I heard that the stage 3 melanoma has returned and had another op in mid July to remove lymph nodes from under my arm. But I refuse to let the cancer finish me.​ During that first lockdown I created The Wonderland Challenge, where 159 voiceovers including many famous actors and celebrities each recorded a minute of Alice in Wonderland and donated to the NHS. You can read all about it here: https://www.bradshawvoice.com/post/wonderlandchallenge ​So it feels like the time is right to launch 'Wonderland Challenge 2: Alice Through The Looking Glass' this time in aid of Cancer Research. So this time, I have split the book up into 174 portions (averaging about a minute per portion). Similar to last time, I have recorded the first and last minutes of the book and donated some money to Cancer Research. I then called on all professional voice overs to take part. I was inundated with offers. Each recording came with a supportive message and a tale of how their family has been affected by Cancer. It was then my task to edit all these wonderful pieces together to produce a wonderful audiobook. The book is being released as a podcast chapter by chapter during December 2023. Take a listen here to the first chapter on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1om2vA7tJgnrwpo2Qf1xas The Challenge website is www.wonderlandvo.com/challenge. Chapter 2 will be released on December 6th and then a chapter will be released every two days until the book is complete before. It will be available on all good podcast platforms by searching 'The Wonderland Challenge 2: Alice Through The Looking Glass' This link on this page is run directly by Cancer Research UK. My initial aim was to raise £2000. We smashed through that target and the next one of £4000. My new target is £10,000. With your help, we should be able to smash that target to. The money I raise will help fund life-saving research and to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Thank you all so much.
