The Sunflower Jam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sunflower Jam is a British charity registered in England and Wales (1138401) since 2010,[1] founded by Jacky Paice, wife of Deep Purple drummer, Ian Paice. Other high-profile supporters are the actor Jeremy Irons, ex-Jamiroquai bassist Nick Fyffe, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, Queen guitarist Brian May, and Charles, King of the United Kingdom.[2]
The aims of the charity are to fund complementary therapists and spiritual healers to work on cancer wards in the National Health Service. After setting up a meeting between members of Deep Purple and a young boy dying of leukemia, Paice saw "all the good work the healers were doing" and decided to "find a way to raise money to get more healers in there."[3]
