QVC viewers raise over £6000 for Breast Cancer Care

A huge thank you to all of you who attended our Breast Cancer Care Carol Service by Candlelight last Friday.

The service was held at St Paul's Church in Knightsbridge and, thanks to your generous contributions, QVC has raised a further £6300 for Breast Cancer Care's vital patient and family support work.

So from QVC and Breast Cancer Care, a massive thanks to all of you for coming - we hope you enjoyed yourselves - and have a very merry Christmas!

Claudia continues her work for Breast Cancer Care

Hi,

Last week I was a guest at a leadership dinner at the Hotel InterContinental in Park Lane, London.

This is an annual event in its first year that aims to provide stimulating conversation and an insight into the ways of a great leader whilst also raising money for Breast Cancer Care.

As a volunteer for Breast Cancer Care, I'm always pleased to support events like these. I met some interesting people and had a great time. Afterwards I meet some friends for a knees-up at a club that is frequented by Prince Harry.

I felt 101-years-old and laughed at myself for thinking the music was too loud and the girls in the club were 'far too young to be out so late' - surely a sign that I'm getting older.

Also, we had marvellous news this week as Zak our 10-year-old son passed his 11+ exams which allows him to go to Grammar School. He has worked so hard and we are so proud of him. 

I promised myself I'd be restrained when he told us the results but I couldn't help myself and promptly blubbered all over him, kissing and squeezing him.

"Alright Mum, that's enough now" he said. I'm so proud but boy, the stress was intense and I'm glad the whole thing is over now.

I'll be in touch soon.

Love Claudia X

Claudia at the Divas II bash

My husband Steven and I were guests at ITV1's show Divas II at the weekend. We had a great time.

The glitzy music bash marked the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and had an amazing musical line-up. We were lucky enough to see more big names than you can shake a stick at - Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Pink, Gabriella Cilmi, Anastacia and legend Dionne Warwick.  The highlights of the BCC Fashion Show were also shown.

Meet our second Breast Cancer Care model - Angela Edgcombe

This year we're following three of Breast Cancer Care's Fashion Show models on their journey from casting to catwalk.

A couple of weeks ago we introduced you to the first model, Lance Bryant, and now it's time to meet our second model - Angela Edgcombe. She joined Lance and 23 other models on the catwalk at The Show on Wednesday 1st October.

Meet our first Breast Cancer Care model - Lance Bryant

We promised that we'd introduce you to the models taking part in this Fashion Show, and here's the first!

Lance is one of 24 models who took to the stage for Breast Cancer Care's annual fashion show on Wednesday 1^st October.

Lance is a single parent, and often had to take his four-year-old daughter Charley along to his radiotherapy sessions. 'The staff were amazing with both of us and she used to sit and watch me on the monitor screen - she loved seeing Daddy on telly!'

Meet our final Breast Cancer Care model - Joanne Wong

This year we've followed three of the Breast Cancer Care Fashion Show models on their journey from casting to catwalk.

We've already introduced you to Lance Bryant and Angela Edgcombe, and now it's time to meet our last model, Joanne Wong.

Breast cancer and celebration may seem like polar opposites, but for Joanne from Newton Aycliffe in County Durham, celebrating was the order of the day when she took part in this year's Fashion Show.
