The 2012 edition of The Sunflower Jam will take place on Sunday, September 16 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England. The evening, hosted by actor Jeremy Irons, will consist of many very special performances from confirmed artists such as Bruce Dickinson (IRON MAIDEN), Ian Paice (DEEP PURPLE), Mark King, Alfie Boe, Brian May (QUEEN) and Kerry Ellis and John Paul Jones (LED ZEPPELIN).
Jacky Paice, wife of Ian Paice, set up The Sunflower Jam
charity in 2006 to help people treat cancer within the UCLH (University
College London Hospitals). Now the charity raises acceptance of an
integrated approach in medical treatment. By educating, supporting,
informing and developing services around patient-centric care, and by
bringing together doctors, health professionals, scientists and
patients, alongside an array of musicians who not only perform but
support the cause, the organizers aim to create a wider network of
support and raise awareness through their event.
The charity
will work by supporting initiatives set up to bridge the gap between
integrated, functional and conventional medicine with a natural approach
to wellness for children, young people, adults and their families with a
range of acute and chronic emotional, mental and physical conditions.
Jacky Paice
says, "As time has gone on, we have learnt so much about what can be
done to help treat cancer in a natural way. I am honored to be hosting
my sixth annual event this year. Personally, this is the most important
year for raising awareness and funds as the percentage of people being
diagnosed with cancer is rising."
Adds Bruce Dickinson: "The Sunflower Jam is a great night out and a fabulous meeting of musical styles and personalities for a unique and very worthy cause."
