Alicia von Sobbe-Grimberg and Shingai Shoniwa

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation Gala Fundrasing event at Battersea Power Station and was lucky enough to meet Shingai Shoniwa from the Noisettes after she got everyone on the dance floor belting out the band’s hits, Never Forget You and Don’t Upset The Rhythm.

Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research funds the best and brightest young scientific investigators conducting research in the fields of leukemia, lymphoma, and related cancers. Founded in 1996, Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation has awarded grants totaling nearly $20 million and maintains its status as one of the largest non-governmental sources of grant support for blood cancer research in the United States. In 2011, Co-Founder and President Denise Rich along with her daughters, Board Members Ilona Rich Schachter, and Daniella Rich Kilstock announced the creation of Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation UK with the intention of expanding its mission to fund similar research in the United Kingdom. Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation UK is a registered charity #1144860.
