Instead, we would love you to please donate to the charities below and join us in support of the Black Lives Matter movement in any ways you can.

The Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Trust aims to educate, prevent and help find a cure for melanoma - one of the most deadly forms of skin cancer.
The incidence of melanoma is growing, particularly here in the UK, but if diagnosed early enough there is a very high cure rate. By raising awareness about the darker side of the sun, this charity hopes to make diagnosis more easily available and eventually find a cure for this terrible disease.
