Interested performers should send a CV and current full length photograph to casting@atmosfearuk.com.
A Message from Brandon;
Hi, my name is Brandon the Lion –and I’m the softest, cuddliest and caring friend you could wish for. I would like to tell you about a terrible disease called Cystic Fibrosis which effects lots of my friends around the world.
Did you know that more than 9000 babies, children and young people battle with this life-threatening disease on a daily basis. Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis – that’s around 1 in 25 of the population and only half of those living with the illness are likely to live past their late 30s.
My very best friend is also called Brandon which is how I was given my name ! Brandon Beech is an 8 year old boy who lives in Lancashire in the UK and he suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. Brandon was diagnosed at the age of three and his daily routine consists of taking 50 tablets, two inhalers, antibiotics through a special machine and over 40 minutes of special exercises to help him every single day.
Brandon’s dad is Chris Beech, ex professional footballer who played for Blackpool FC, Hartlepool FC, Huddersfield FC and Rochdale FC for whom he is currently the under 18s coach. Brandon’s mum is called Gillian and she is fantastic at keeping up with all Brandon’s medical needs and keeping him well. Sometimes it’s very very hard to fit it all into a day and sometimes Brandons mum and dad get very sad about it, but because Brandon is so brave and such a wonderful boy they all get through it together . Brandon also has a beautiful little sister called Jasmine who does not have Cystic Fibrosis but she loves to play with her brother and cheer him up when he is having all his treatment. I love to spend lots of time with them as they are a very special family.
I have already met lots of celebrities and been to lots of great parties and there will be many, many more to come ! You can keep up to date with my travels on my website and I promise to let you see all my exciting photos of the people I meet and the places I get to !
SO !!! I am going to travel the globe to make new special friends and to spread the word about Cystic Fibrosis and hopefully we can all help to raise awareness and help to fund research. Why don’t you follow me on my travels?! You never know where I might turn up !!!
If you want me to come and see you at one of your events then just drop me a line ! I love to meet new people and make new friends and most of all I love cuddles.
