South African Cricketing Broadcaster Natalie Germanos On Board The Record, A Fundraising Book For Bowel Cancer

Me and Natalie in Green Park

I am very happy to reveal that South African sports broadcaster, Natalie Germanos, will feature in The Record. Natalie has been in the UK this summer covering the Women's Cricket World Cup. When I saw that she would be working as part of the BBC Test Match Special team, I thought that she would be a great person to photograph for the new book, and she joins Mike Selvey, Daniel Norcross and George Dobell from the world of cricket already on board. We met up in London and Natalie was extremely kind with her time, and we chatted for about an hour in Green Park. It's going to be a great chapter in the forthcoming book.

My Mum passed way in August 2016 after fighting bowel cancer for over 4 years. All proceeds raised from sales of the book will be donated to the Beating Bowel Cancer charity. This book is the follow up to 2015's Lives & Times, which has raised over £3250 for the charity so far. As well as raising funds, the book will help to raise awareness about bowel cancer. It is the second highest cancer killer in the UK claiming 16,000 lives each year, but if detected early it can be successfully treated in over 90% of cases.
