A GYM in Pitsea has created its very own 2020 calendar to increase awareness for those who have been affected by ovarian cancer.
Member Sandra Burford lost her daughter Sarah at the age of 33 to the disease. In her memory, members ‘dared to bare’ to raise money for Target Ovarian Cancer.
Many of the 157 members posed topless with gym equipment and props in the gym itself to help create the calendar.
The sold calenders have raised more than £1,000 for the Target Ovarian Cancer charity.
Owner Samantha Hack said: “It was just a bit of fun and we hope to put a smile on people’s faces as well as raising awareness. Our eldest member is 86 and she took part as well. It screams body confidence and it was lovely for everyone to get together.”
