Annie's August began, like most of the best ideas, in the middle of something really quite difficult.
When I was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer in 2024, my brain — characteristically — refused to sit still. Somewhere between the oncologist's office and getting home, it started making plans. One of those plans was Chronicles of Hope.
Another was this: a campaign rooted in something simple, something growing, something hopeful. Sunflowers felt exactly right.
In 2026 we created a calendar with photos of sunflowers from across the UK, and this year we’re doing it all again!!
The 2027 calendar is now available to buy! JUST CLICK HERE
