Queen guitarist Brian May, Line of Duty star Vicky McClure, Oasis legend Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller and Stereophonics are just some of famous faces supporting Teenage Cancer Trust’s Star Boot Sale fundraiser.

Launched this morning (23rd April) and running for two weeks until Thursday 6th May, stars from music, stage and screen have personally donated memorabilia to the online auction of 130 items.

Alongside the auction, some of the memorabilia features in a £5 raffle giving more fans the chance to be involved.

All proceeds will go directly to the Teenage Cancer Trust to support young people battling cancer. The charity has suffered a serious shortfall in funds after being forced to cancel the Teenage Cancer Trust concert series at the Royal Albert Hall for two consecutive years due to Covid-19.

Roger Daltrey, The Who’s frontman and Teenage Cancer Trust Honorary Patron, said: “Young people with cancer are particularly at risk from coronavirus. And right now, Teenage Cancer Trust funded nurses and support teams are going above and beyond to provide the care they need at a time when healthcare services are under huge pressure.

“They are amazing people – but not many people realise that their work is completely reliant on fundraised income and donations. So please get involved in this new fundraiser if you can. Our friends from across the entertainment industry have searched their cupboards and donated some great stuff and remember every penny raised will make a difference.”
