Annual Charity Fashion Show

7 September 2024

We’re still riding high on the buzz and pure emotion from our incredible fashion show!

 A huge thank you to the amazing team at John Lewis & Partners Reading, who hosted us for the 4th time and made sure our models felt like absolute stars. Your generosity and kindness blew us away once again!

To the audience who came out and cheered, clapped, danced, and supported – YOU were amazing!
 
The energy was unreal, with tears of joy, laughter, and so much love as our models absolutely owned the catwalk. Their bravery, confidence, and willingness to step outside their comfort zones was nothing short of inspiring. They showed the world that cancer doesn’t define them – they are powerful, beautiful, and real, and they made a statement that touched everyone there.
 
See you all again next year!
