EVERY year more than 41,000 people from all walks of life are newly diagnosed with breast cancer - that's 100 people a day.

In view of this shocking statistic, I am writing to ask The Press readers to join me this summer in supporting the 41,000 Faces campaign.

Together Breast Cancer Care and Boots aim to bring this statistic to life through an impactful and interactive gallery depicting 41,000 photos and stories of people affected by breast cancer. It's an ambitious campaign which is why we need your help. We're asking for anyone who has been touched by breast cancer to send in their photo to join the gallery of 41,000 Faces.

If like me you have been touched by breast cancer, please join me in supporting this campaign and send in your photo.

Help others to understand the scale of the disease. I have actually submitted two photographs to the fantastic campaign.

My photo and story will go alongside 41,000 others in the online gallery which will go live in September.

This powerful campaign has already received thousands of photos, but we still need plenty more.

I hope that you will encourage your readers to join me and other celebrities such as Cherie Blair, Lorraine Kelly and Lisa Snowdon on the 41,000 Faces Gallery.

It really couldn't be easier to join 41,000 Faces; all you need to do is choose your photograph, log onto www.41000faces.org.uk and follow the instructions. Alternatively, phone 0870 060 0788 to find out more information.
