The show was created by entrepreneurs Emily Dubberley (internationally published author) Sam Eddison (internationally published photographer) and Fiona Fletcher (producer of sell-out shows across the UK including world-famous Le Scandal) who came together after Emily’s mother got breast cancer earlier this year.
Together, they’ve created a show that will help raise money to help the 44,000 women and 300 men every year that are affected by breast cancer, through Macmillan cancer support.
