Fundraising for the "Stars of Cancer" documentary

Aim: Fundraising for the "Stars of Cancer" documentary about scientists, humble heroes, who develop breakthrough treatments against cancer.

For over two years, my wife, Oxana Polyakova (a cancer scientist herself), our children, and I have been supporting the documentary team, who have raised £210,000 out of the required £250,000. But £40,000 is still needed to bring this important project to completion. We expect that the viewing audience will be more than 1 billion people.

Recently, we had an incredible opportunity to collaborate with dancers at the City Academy London to create a fundraising trailer and raise awareness.

I am committed to running an ultra marathon (50 km) on the 13th of July to further support this cause, pledging to complete it in less than 6 hours.

This is an independent cinematic documentary (trailer), which explores the fundamental question of WHAT CANCER ACTUALLY IS, while also shining a light on the many dedicated scientists who work tirelessly behind the scenes to create cures.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page and for considering supporting this project to celebrate life and science. Everyone who donates and shares their name will be credited in the documentary as a token of our gratitude.

AN HONEST APPEAL TOWARDS FILM PRODUCTION, WITH SALES REVENUES GOING TO CANCER RESEARCH. Your £1.00 could be turned into £20.00

AND THE REASON WHY WE’RE TAKING THE UNUSUAL STEP OF ASKING YOU TO DONATE SMALL AMOUNTS:

Normally, ONE network such as: Lionsgate, Net-Flix, Apple, or Sky would give us the production funding (called MG’s)

BUT, then they would block other channels from broadcasting it. In other words, it would JUST BE ON THEIR CHANNEL.

We want ALL PEOPLE ON ALL CHANNELS to see this spirit-lifting film, which is why we are declining offers of funding from these networks. We'll fund it ourselves, along with a little help from YOU.
