Charity fashion show set to turn cancer fighters into catwalk models


The Keeping Abreast ‘More than Just Fashion’ Shows sees 25 models, all at various stages of their own personal breast cancer journeys, modelling the latest style trends from local retailers and proving that they are “unstoppable.”

Set to take place at 7.30pm on October 9 and 10, the event offers a sparkly combination of style, support and inspiring stories for attendees aged 14 and above.

The models will showcase trends from John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Lady B Loves, Scarlet and Elora.

Adding to the atmosphere will be live entertainment, speeches, stalls and a photo booth.

The charity Keeping Abreast, which organised the event, will hold its own merchandise stall and also plans to host auctions and raffles.

Drinks will be provided by Express Coffee Cars and Best At Bars.

The event is one in a series of ‘More than just Fashion’ Shows, produced by Production Bureau and choreographed by Stephen Knights.

It will be opened by ITV Anglia presenter Chris Page and Sascha Williams, with charity patron Chris Bailey acting as the evening’s Master of Ceremonies.

Kerry Kemp, Keeping Abreast’s business development manager, expressed excitement about the upcoming show.

She said: “We’re really looking forward to this uplifting event and we’re very grateful to all our sponsors including Insurancewith and Norfolk’s Edge, who will also be serving the VIP canapes.

“This is our ninth bi-annual Fashion Show and they’re usually a sell-out, so if you’d like to support our amazing models, get your tickets soon.”

Keeping Abreast supports individuals facing breast reconstruction due to breast cancer diagnosis or the discovery of a hereditary breast cancer gene.

Tickets can be booked online for this charity fashion extravaganza, ranging from £22.50 to £45, all including a welcome drink.
