Steph’s song seeks to inspire ;‘It Wasn’t Meant to Be’

Steph Lott with sons Brad, five, Joe, seven and Joshua, two.

Steph Lott a musician whose children lost their dad to cancer has written a moving charity song she hopes will inspire a major performing artist to help make it a fund raising success.

Steph's ex-husband Mick Harris, father of her three oldest sons Joe, Brad and Josh, died in May following a year-long battle with cancer, aged 45.

The experience inspired her to write and then record ‘It Wasn’t Meant to Be’, available on iTunes here ;http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/it-wasnt-meant-to-be-single/id553984567 with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.
Alsoavailable to download from amazon too ;http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0091KFACS/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_jzGoqb0ADF9G4

But Steph, 28, is hoping to take it to the next level and raise thousands for the charity by persuading a household name performer to take her song on to the national stage.

Steph has recorded her own version of the song in a local studio with help from fellow North Devon singer songwriter Chris Millington, who added instrumental accompaniment to her vocals.

“I am a country singer so ‘It Wasn’t Meant to Be’ is a bit of a slow country song,” she said.

“My main quest in all this is to find an established artist to take on the song so we can raise as much money as possible. I think it would suit someone like Leona Lewis and she would do a good job of it.

“I really wanted to do something to help raise money for Cancer Research,” said Steph, who with Rob forms the duo Despite Water

Harry Moseley's Mum writes a book about her little Hero

Georgina Moseley 

THE mum of a cancer-stricken Birmingham youngster who raised more than £650,000 for charity before his tragic death has penned an emotional book charting his inspirational story.

The Harry Moseley Story – “Making it Happen”, was written by Georgie, of Sheldon, in the hope of raising more awareness of her son’s work.

Eleven-year-old Harry not only made bracelets to raise cash for various charities, he also donated gifts he received to other people and visited schools and businesses to talk about his ideas – all whilst battling a brain tumour.

He lost his fight against the illness in October last year, four years after he was diagnosed.

Georgie admitted that producing the biography has been a tearful journey, but she added it was also one of Harry’s last dreams to have his story told.

“He would have been so proud of the book,” she told the Birmingham Mail. “I only wish that it was an autobiography rather than a biography. I’m just writing it on his behalf.

“It has been a real labour of love to put together. There have been emotional moments and I cry whenever I have to read through it again. But I believe Harry deserved this.”

She added: “The story relieves Harry’s life, but focuses more on when he was diagnosed and how he selflessly helped others. A lot of people know about the bracelets, but they don’t know about the other things he did.

“I wanted to tell people about his work and this was the perfect way to do it.”

She decided to write the biography earlier this year with the help of ghost writer Simon Goodyear. All the money raised from sales will also go to charity.

“It’ll make the perfect Christmas present,” Georgina added. “It’s a true story of an inspiring and special boy.”

Harry gripped the nation by making and selling beaded bracelets all by himself, with all the proceeds he raised going to charity. He also organised and arranged to meet CEO’s of large organisations and did presentations at school assemblies and at large public events talking about his business ideas.

He also befriended many people via the social networking site Twitter including many famous celebrities from all over the world.
