Giovanni was motivated to help the cause by a long-time friend, regional television presenter Anthony Rutherford, who said: “I know only too well how hard it is to watch a loved one battle blood cancer, so for Giovanni to help not only put on a fantastic event, but also help a wonderful charity, means the world to me.”
