All proceeds of this book will go directly to brain cancer via non-profit charitable organizations.
Darren started this project in 2009 after losing his best friend Natalie to brain cancer. She was 35 years old. He wanted to do more than just donate at the funeral…he wanted to give brain cancer a voice, and so, the Beauty Book was born.
“In April 2010 I was introduced to an amazing person “Pantera” Sarah Uphoff, whose Mom at the time was battling brain cancer, Louise Uphoff. Pantera joined forces with me to rally many of her super star Celebrity friends to be photographed for The Beauty Book. During the 2nd year of photographing people for this project her Mom Louise lost her battle with this disease in July 2011. Pantera and I have never been more determined to raise mega dollars for brain cancer research. “
