Why ReSurge Africa?
Cancer diagnosis..
When I had my first my first Melanoma diagnosis in my foot in 2017 it was a very worrying time, especially the uncertainty. I have always been a glass half full person and it was a positive attitude that really helped give me the inner strength to deal with the situation.
I coped by focusing positively on my career again, which is when I started to take on more commissioned work, and decided to setup my website in 2021.
I've been back into my working routine for a while, but these past few years have certainly been an intense period of change and growth and have definitely discovered my inner strength. I don't know how, but I have got through some pretty challenging experiences health wise and I definitely feel blessed and I have come out the other side stronger...
Creating unique artwork, whilst giving to others.
I had always had the idea of connecting with a charity, to help the less fortunate by giving back through my artwork. It was whilst recovering from Melanoma surgery, that I became aware of the vital work of ReSurge Africa. After going through surgery and treatment myself, I realised how vital these medical services really are, and what would have happened to me had they not been in place.
I am just grateful to be well and this is all because of the dedicated medical teams knowledge and expertise, which is why I'm in support of charities such as ReSurge Africa.
"ReSurge Africa really inspired me to give a little back through my artwork".

At ReSurge Africa, we train and empower medical staff working in some of the poorest countries to perform reconstructive surgery and creating a brighter future for the huge number of children and adults affected by debilitating and disfiguring injuries and birth defects.
Many charities provide valuable medical Missions to Africa, but their impact is measured in weeks and months..
"At ReSurge Africa, we want to deliver lasting change; to establish a self-sustaining reconstructive surgery and burns services in West Africa. Through the training and empowering of surgeons, nurses, Physiotherapists, Anaesthetists and other clinical staff and the creation of much needed infrastructure and facilities, eventually these units will operate independently without the need for overseas aid of any kind".
In very underdeveloped countries, such as Sierra Leone, survival rates for any type of surgery and access to good standard medical facilities are very low. Thanks to ReSurge Africa, things are vastly improving and it's vital we share this knowledge around the world.
