Hello – I’m Keith Hubbard and this is how I came to create Gig4Life.<\/b><\/p>

In December 2019, after 15 years of fighting Prostate Cancer, I was finally given the all clear.<\/p>

During those years I was administered to by many wonderful and dedicated people. Including the health professionals who treated and cared for me plus their support staff, who did such a fantastic job helping me cope with the challenging effects of the medications. None of the treatments I received would have been available (and I would definitely not be here now!) were it not for the ground breaking work of Cancer Research UK<\/strong>.<\/p>

After having had radiotherapy, hormone treatments and taking part in a programme of cryosurgery, I vowed to give something back… so I entered the local Cancer Research UK 10k Race<\/strong> and managed to raise over \u00a3500 in sponsorships.<\/p>

However, as a music professional experienced in live performance and the organising of concerts, it occurred to me that this was by far the best way of raising funds.<\/p>

Assisted by some original members of the Ormskirk Young People’s Club I was able to raise a great deal of money with the Rockin’ at the YPC <\/strong>show at the Ormskirk Civic Hall.<\/p>

It was the success of that first event in 2010, plus my guest appearance on the Stand Up To Cancer Telethon<\/strong>, that encouraged me to make the renamed Rockin’ at the Civic<\/strong>\u00a0a biannual fundraiser.<\/p>

With the help of the local Cancer Research UK<\/strong> representative, I formed the\"\" Merseyside Cancer Research UK Committee<\/strong>\u00a0to launch a new initiative \u2013\u00a0Gig4Life\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 a series of fully \u2018Live\u2019 musical presentations to be held at various venues in the North West of England, with a view to expanding to venues nationwide. For further information please visit and Like<\/em> our Facebook page at the icon below and follow your local press.<\/p>

There is also a Just Giving<\/strong><\/a> page which accepts donations for\u00a0Cancer Research UK<\/strong>. Link below.<\/p>

I thank you all for your overwhelming generosity – thank you for caring.<\/p>
