Story
UPDATE - we've smashed our original target so we've extended it and also had a commitment of support from the wonderful Tom Wallace.
Here's a message from Tom - Hi lovely people, I am running a marathon on 28th Nov in Reading, and a 50k run on 19th Dec in Portsmouth, and I’m really keen to use these as opportunities to raise some money for Christina’s treatment. We would all really appreciate the donations. Much love, Tom x
British Soul Music legend, Kenny Thomas and House Producer Mark Wilkinson have come together on a very special collaboration, ‘Sweet Sweet Music’, to help fund the ongoing specialist treatment for Kenny’s daughter Christina, who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour at the age of four, given just 6 months to live. Having rejected non-curing treatments in the UK, Kenny and his wife Francisca found help for Christina from German medical experts and she is now a happy 8-year-old who remains reasonably stable. The Thomas family continue to defy all the odds stacked against them and their fight goes on to help find funds for Christina’s ongoing expensive treatment.
Originally released in 2016, ‘Sweet Sweet Music’ gets a full make-over for 2021, as Mark delivers a wonderful upbeat soulful house soundtrack featuring contributions from musical heavyweights, Michele Chiavarini and Toni Economides, drizzled with Kenny’s unmistakably fabulous tones and backed by Christina’s Mother Francisca Thomas, making this a beautiful family affair!
"I was so moved by Christina's story when I interviewed Kenny for my 'Straight-Talking' series, I felt compelled to do something to help, so Kenny and I revisited the ’Sweet Sweet Music' project together and we both feel its by far the best dance record we’ve ever made!” - Mark Wilkinson
