Hi my name is Emma and I’m 21 years old. I will be taking part in this year’s brave to wear. My mum was diagnosed with grade 2 hormone breast cancer at the start of last year but has beat cancer and is now cancer free. It turned our life’s upside down but when my mum found out about rainbow valley it really did change her life and it is amazing seeing the difference this charity can make to someone’s life. My mum took part in the Brave to Bare this year and it made me realise that I want to take part in raising money for rainbow valley.

I am embracing the courage to step onto Rainbow Valley's Catwalk. Their fashion show features myself along with other models with minimal to no experience. Last year's participants shared how incredible they felt after being involved. Many of us have faced cancer or are representing loved ones who have battled the disease. My motivation? To support Rainbow Valley, a charity dedicated to educating and empowering those impacted by cancer. They run free courses to people who have had a cancer diagnosis.

Please spare what you can to sponsor this exciting challenge I am about to embrace and together we can help this amazing charity. Please check out their website for more info. www.rainbowvalley.org.uk
