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:
Tickets cost £25 and can be bought from West Park Hotel, Sheer Bliss, Smithers and Georgies. Call 07557 196233 for more details.
