WHAT IS IT?
The “Human Is Not Alone” Campaign was started by Robbie Cooper in gratitude for the services offered to him and other sufferers of cancer by The Marie Curie Trust.
The name is taken from the title of a song on the 2004 album “Zwoa” by Robbie’s own band Laeto.
The campaign involves three charity concerts and a compilation uniting the UK DIY music scene in support of The Marie Curie Trust.
WHO IS ROBBIE COOPER?
Musician, psychologist, 6ft 6 basketball king, Carcassonne enthusiast and DIY promoter.
For an insight into Robbie’s experiences with cancer and his ongoing battle please visit his blog where he documents his thoughts as well as reflecting on cheese scones, 80s Rockumentaries and Lance Armstrong.
HOW WILL IT HELP THE MARIE CURIE TRUST?
By raising awareness of the wonderful work done every day by The Marie Curie Trust and in turn raise money to help them continue that work.
HOW WILL IT HELP LESSER KNOWN ARTISTS?
