A group of friends affected by breast cancer have posed for a topless calendar - to raise money to battle the disease. Michelle Leaker, 42, arranged for her pals to star in the shoot, which will raise money for Breast Cancer Now.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer after a mammogram had detected two cancerous spots. Her mum, Patricia Peet, died of the same illness on February 14, 1994.
After receiving 15 rounds of radiotherapy, a lumpectomy and the removal of one of her lymph nodes, Michelle went into remission in November 2022. Now, she wants to raise money for further research into breast cancer - and hopes to sell the calendar in bulk ready for 2024.
