Fashion show celebrates 24 people living with and beyond breast cancer

A group of people living with or beyond breast cancer took to the catwalk of a fashion show to celebrate who they have become and to reflect on their experience with the disease. The 22 women and two men strutted their stuff on the runway of The Show by Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s largest breast cancer charity providing research, support and care to individuals. The annual event in central London, which featured both an afternoon and evening show on Thursday, was hosted by TV presenter Lisa Snowdon, who has been an ambassador for the charity since 2005. Snowdon, whose grandmother died from breast cancer when she was a child, told the PA news agency that early detection and seeking help is “key to survival”. “I’ve always known that early detection is key,” she said. “Asking for help, seeking medical advice, understanding your body and recognising when something doesn’t feel right is key to survival.” She added that it was “unbelievable” to see the way the models in the show were “putting what they are feeling behind them” and “owning it”. “Our models are smiling from ear to ear and it’s like they are levitating down the catwalk,” she said.
