It Was A Success
Harpal Kumar, the chief executive of Cancer Research UK, issued a statement to the Press Association given the success of the #NoMakeUpSelfie trend in 2014. In it, he expressed the group’s surprise at how enthusiastic the public was about the initiative. “We have been overwhelmed by the support people have been showing us through the #nomakeupselfie trend.” He said.
A Thank You Message
“We don’t receive any government funding for our research.” Kumar continued. “And so it is phenomenal to think that the generosity of the public is enabling us to fund critical research that we didn’t have the money for six days ago… It has been an exciting week, and we would just like to thank everyone again for their support.”
