Cancer patients will take to the catwalk in Harrogate next week for a fundraising fashion show.

Harrogate woman Jean Williams and husband Alan have raised £100,000 for cancer charities since she had breast cancer 25 years ago. Ms Williams even took part in the 2018 New York marathon aged 71 to generate funds.

Now she has teamed up with West Park Hotel to stage the Strutting for Cancer fashion show for the first time since covid in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on November 10.

The event will feature people who have been affected by cancer as well as professional models showcasing new collections from sponsors, including local fashion businesses Sheer Bliss lingerie, Smithers, Prey Four, Georgies and Aurélie, as well as high street retailer Marks & Spencer.

There will also be a charity auction, raffle and live music.

Ms Williams said:

“Having launched our inaugural Strutting for Cancer fashion show six years ago, it has proved to be a hugely popular event with local people as well as raising vital funds for this amazing charity.
"After missing two years due to the pandemic, we are thrilled that the show is returning and would like to thank West Park Hotel for providing such a fantastic venue as well as our generous sponsors for their support.
“Having had cancer twice myself, this is a cause close to my heart and I am excited to see the return of this event which we hope will once again raise thousands of pounds for Macmillan Cancer Support.”
