X Factor star Lucie Jones is aiding Cancer Research UK through proceeds raised from the re-recording of Cyndi Lauper’s track “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”

A total of 20 stars – including former Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon, glamour model Danielle Lloyd and former “EastEnders” actress Lucy Benjamin – raised their voices to bring awareness to breast cancer. Hundreds of local UK women affected by cancer are also featured on the track.

The popular single was originally released in 1984 and was a huge hit for Lauper. Music star Sonique is supporting the re-recording. Her participation marks her first time performing since having her own cancer battle last June.

TV presenter and former Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon has teamed up with leading older people’s charities Age Concern and Help The Aged to raise awareness of the serious issues some people face in later life.

The 28-year-old Liverpuddlian beauty knows only too well the challenges that can come with getting older. The family was heartbroken when Liz’s 102-year-old great-grandmother was told she would have to leave her care home after it could no longer afford to remain open. She was forced to move and sadly died a few months later.

Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is the largest women-only fundraising event in the UK. The race started in 2004 and has raised millions of pounds!

Women take part in celebration of surviving a cancer experience. Others take part in memory of a loved one or to give hope to a cancer-free future.
