Get tickets for this year's Breast Cancer Care fashion show!

The Breast Cancer Care shows are glittering occasions of style and glamour, where all the models who take to the catwalk have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

44 inspiring men and women, who have all been affected by breast cancer, will conquer the catwalk in the ultimate show of confidence, to celebrate life after a diagnosis. This star-studded occasion is a diary must for fashion fans, a great opportunity to treat someone special or just a good excuse for a wonderful night out!

Guests will enjoy a champagne reception, a gourmet dinner and a glittering catwalk show as well a whole host of entertainment - so don’t forget to pack your dancing shoes! And the best bit? This incredible event will raise vital funds to help Breast Cancer Care continue to support the 55,000 people diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

The fashion shows celebrate the wonderful work of Breast Cancer Care, and 44 of the models have had, or are going through, breast cancer. The charity offers tailored support and information to anyone affected by breast cancer, their families and friends.

Join us to help ensure this year’s events are even bigger! Shows take place in London and Glasgow to mark the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (1st to 31st October). You can check out the very latest in designer fashion while fundraising for a very worthy cause.

Running the London marathon for Breast Cancer Care

Last Sunday, the QVC Team - Bryony and Arietta - took to the streets of London along with 36,000 others to run 26.2 miles for charity! The challenge was set at the end of January and training kicked off immediately, despite the often minus temperatures, rain and snow!

But thanks to the amazing support of the crowds and the Breast Cancer Care team, they both completed the marathon and have raised over £2,000 for the charity. If you would like to donate to the cause, you can find their donation page here.

Here's what they had to say about the event:

Breast Cancer Care launch their new and FAB campaign

FAB1 Million is a year-long fundraising campaign fronted by Chris Evans with the aim of raising one million pounds for Breast Cancer Care using a bespoke pink Rolls-Royce Ghost a la Thunderbirds.

On Thursday 18th April, Chris was joined by Gary Barlow, James May and Professor Brian Cox as he drove from Land’s End to John O’Groat’s.

Along the way they made pitstops in Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester Warrington and Glasgow, to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer Care.

Tracey Krieger, a member of the Breast Cancer Care London fashion show committee and QVC blogger, tells us how she has been involved:

Lemar's performance at our Breast Cancer Care show

Last night was our "Be Aware Show You Care" show for Breast Cancer Care where we were joined by lots of special guests in support of this deserving charity.

Overall, on the night we rasied a fantastic £380,000 for Breast Cancer Care in just 3 hours!

One of our guests was music star, Lemar who performed a track from his new album, Invincible. 

Lemar said that "Breast Cancer Care is a charity that is close to my heart. I jump at any chance to help the cause. Every small gesture helps the bigger picture". 

For every album sold, a 50p donation will be made to Breast Cancer Care and here he is performing Invincible...

Will: Behind the scenes at our Breast Cancer Care show

We had an amazing Be Aware Show You Care show for Breast Cancer Care - the Green Room was absolutely buzzing and packed with guests throughout! I was busy throughout the night chatting to everyone from Andrea Mclean to Lemar who sang his new single live on air!

For anyone who missed out, here's a little taster of everything that went on - hope you like the pics... and my pink socks!

Thanks to everyone for getting involved on Facebook and Twitter, posting pink pictures, sharing stories and chatting to us throughout the night - it was lots of fun!

Last year's Breast Cancer Care auction with Joe McElderry

Today is the day of our 'Be Aware, Show You Care' event for Breast Cancer Care. We have lots to look forward to this evening including some great auction prizes during the show.

Last year Mrs White was the highest bidder for an amazing Joe McElderry experience where he would perform a mini concert in her living room for her and 20 friends!

The winning bid of £6,350 was the highest single bid ever recorded for a QVC auction! So this summer Joe travelled up to Mrs White's house and performed live in her living room taking requests from the audience on which songs they'd like him to sing next.

Joe McElderry on Breast Cancer Care and his new album

We had a very special guest on the Morning Show on 4th October when Joe McElderry came to visit our studios.

Joe performed a few songs and spoke to us about his brand new album, 'Here's What I Believe' which you can watch at the end of this blog.

Joe also did a great performance at the Breast Cancer Care fashion show yesterday so we caught up with Joe after he came off air to ask him all about the show...

How did you find the Breast Cancer Care show yesterday?

I loved it, there was an amazing atmosphere and the room was full of inspirational people. I had a great time as I really love doing events for charity.

Will: Watch the Breast Cancer Care fashion show!

The Grosvenor House Hotel, on London's Park Lane, once again played host to this year's Breast Cancer Care fashion show. 

It was - as it always is - an emotional rollercoaster! It's also one of the most inspiring and uplifting events you could go to. 

Debbie Flint, Pipa Gordon, Jo & Greg from the QVC marketing department and myself, sat alongside six lovely QVC competition winners. We watched an amazing fashion show featuring our very own Alison Keenan. I thought you might like to enjoy the atmosphere too, so take a look at this...
