P&G, Superdrug & Marie Curie
P&G and Superdrug’s #FeelSuper campaign is back with the support of ambassadors Frankie Bridge and Marvin Humes and the campaign’s first ever charity song helping to raise money for Marie Curie. The soundtrack to the campaign features vocals from nine Marie Curie Nurses (main image) and lyrics inspired by the experiences of musician Ben Buddy Slack, from The Swan Song Project, who helps patients at the Marie Curie hospice in Bradford write and record their own original songs. The song has been launched by Frankie and Marvin in celebration of the return of the campaign, where 1 P&G product = 1 donation to Marie Curie, exclusively at Superdrug and Superdrug.com from the 19 September-16 October.
