Liverpool's Year As European Capital Of Culture Imspired Me To Beat A Deadly Ilness Twice 

Photographs Taken In Liverpool's Year As European Capital Of Culture 2008 & Beyond

My Motivation, Dedication, Love And Unrelentless Passion, For Blood Cancer UK

2008 – The Force Behind The Power - A Lasting Impression

Liverpool’s year as European Capital Of Culture inspired me in many ways,

it was the Catalyst for my recovery when I was as close to death as I could ever be,

yes I beat Leukaemia Twice (APML) for culture year!

 

More importantly my continued motivation is Blood Cancer UK, as shown on my Twitter Feed Strapline and the logo shown above.  

Put a high grade battery in a toy it goes faster and lasts longer,

put the Blood Cancer logo in front of me I go "faster" and "last longer"
