Who are Ducks & Drakes?

You might know our name… but do you know what we do?

Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust was founded in 2012 after our co-founder Andrew Drake was diagnosed with bowel cancer at just 24.

Today, we’re working to raise awareness of bowel cancer, particularly among young people aged 18–40, while supporting patients and families across Dorset.

From financial grants and specialist equipment to supporting local cancer organisations, our aim is simple:

To help people when they need it most. 💛

Our friends at The Bowel Movement are doing something amazing and need some help…

We’ve been working with TROPIC on something really special, and we’d love your help bringing it to life!

Tropic has an exciting new skincare collection launching soon, thoughtfully developed for people experiencing the effects of cancer treatment on their skin, with oncologist-approved products designed to offer a little extra comfort and care when it’s needed most.

As part of the launch, Tropic is looking for real people who are currently undergoing cancer treatment to feature in their upcoming campaign.

We know that everyone’s experience with cancer is different, and Tropic wants this campaign to reflect that. No filters, no expectations of what cancer should look like. Just real people, real experiences and an opportunity to share their stories.

A few details about the opportunity:

🟢 Date: Friday 6th November 2026

🟣Location: Croydon, Surrey

🟠 Travel and accommodation: All costs will be covered by Tropic Skincare

🔵 Experience: No previous modelling experience needed!

Above all, Tropic wants everyone involved to feel comfortable, supported and celebrated throughout the experience.

If you’re currently going through treatment, available on 6th November and would feel comfortable being part of something special, we’d love to hear from you! .

Deadline to respond: Sunday 31st October

Please drop us a DM or email: [email protected] to express your interest today! 💜

🏔️ IT’S HAPPENING! Rich is on his way to Everest! 🧡

After months of preparation, training and plenty of hard work, Rich is now embarking on the challenge of a lifetime - making his way towards Everest Base Camp! 🏔️

The next few days will put his fitness, resilience and determination to the test as he acclimatises to the altitude and tackles some seriously challenging conditions.

And he’s doing it all to raise money for Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust, supporting young people affected by bowel cancer. 💛

We’ll be following his journey and cheering him on from home - especially when the going gets tough!
