Fashion Targets Breast Cancer x River Island

Right now, breast cancer is at a tipping point;  More women are surviving, but more are being diagnosed than ever before.  One in eight women in the UK will face breast cancer in their lifetime and currently every 45 minutes another woman dies from the disease.

With these overwhelming statistics in mind, I'm so proud to be supporting Fashion Targets Breast Cancer this year.  30% of each sale of River Island's Choker Sweatshirt (RRP. £30.00) will go straight to Breast Cancer Now, helping fund the vital research needed to end this devastating disease.

We're all in this together... Shop it. Own it. Wear it.

My Ralph Lauren #PinkPonyPromise

I am really proud to have made a #PinkPonyPromise in support of The Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation's annual fight against cancer this October.  For Each Promise made on Instagram or Twitter this month,  Ralph Lauren will donate $10 to the #PinkPonyFund, and an additional $1 for each friend you tag.  The money raised, which will hopefully exceed their epic $1 Million target, will go towards helping provide cancer care and treatment to people who may not normally get it.

Cancer unfortunately affects each and every one of us.  I hope this initiative helps to raise as much money as possible… there’s still time for you to join in, so get making those promises! 

Winter Wonderland

Last Thursday I went a walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland for the preview night and in support of Too Many Women. Having fundraised for Too Many Women earlier this year (see here) my girlfriends and I were more than happy to support this wonderful campaign again in reaching their target of £1 million towards breast cancer awareness.

It is impossible not to immerse yourself in the festive spirit; There are fun-fair rides, a Grotto, a big top circus, ice-skating, Christmas markets and lots... and lots... of mulled wine.

There are several new, bigger and scarier rides this year – all of which I stayed well away from having been left in tears after my first/last ever roller coaster last year... not a great look when the reason you got on the damn thing in the first place was to impress a boy... Note to self: hyperventilating = not that pretty.

If only my sister had also stayed on the ground manning the mulled wine with me last week – her ride was actually halted mid way to allow her to get off… SO funny!!

Open until Jan 3rd and entry is free. Tokens for the rides can be purchased there. Tickets for the ice-skating, Zippo’s Circus and Observation Wheel can be purchase online here.
