September
Meet Ellie - Miss September in a calendar I shot last week for the Behind Cancer Campaign for anal cancer.
Ellie is a brave old soul. She's been through a damn lot this year - her mum was unlucky enough to have symptoms misdiagnosed, and it was only this summer that they found out she had anal cancer. Anal cancer is SO rare - around 700 people ONLY are diagnosed with it in the UK each year. Just 700!! In google - breast cancer returns over 34,000,000 results when googled. Anal cancer produces just 1/34 of that. The amount of information, support and awareness of this form of cancer is so severely limited, that Ellie + her 11 girls decided to set out and make this calendar.
All the girls braved me in the nude for the shoot - with a monthly theme to the shots, covering up any private bits!! :) I am SO happy with the shots, and the girls each look fantastic - but more than anything, I'm so proud that there are people out there willing to help one another out like this.
If you'd like to talk to Ellie about how to go about ordering a calendar, with 12 other images like the one you see above (with me on the back cover no less - they did alot of persuading!!) then you can email her at Ellidenardo@hotmail.com. They're super cheap and it is for a FANTASTIC cause, as ALL of the money raised is going to The Christie's Hospital, which treats all kinds of cancers. Every last penny.
You can read Ellie's story and see pics of the girls and behind the scenes on their site:

or "like" this campaign on facebook! :D
Thankyou so much everyone.
