One of the first things I saw this morning when checking my Twitter feed was the sad news that actress and television presenter Lynda Bellingham had lost her fight with cancer and passed away on Sunday. I've seen a lot of her on television and in magazines over the last month as she promoted her new book and spoke of her incredibly brave decision to stop chemotherapy for colon cancer and let nature take its course. She'd been battling the disease since July 2013, and she had decided to end treatment to ease her family's suffering after discovering it had spread to her lungs and liver. Bellingham had hoped to make it to Christmas, but sadly this was not to be.
Friday evening saw Channel 4 host the monumentally successful
Stand Up To Cancer live televised event that to date has raised over £14.5 million.
The fight to beat cancer is well and truly underway, but how does this related to Manicure Monday? As October is
Breast Cancer Awareness month, pink on my nails and a charity donation seemed only appropriate!
