Mother and daughter Sylvie Henry and Danielle Leslie, who have both suffered breast cancer, have set up a charity to help defeat the disease.
Mrs Leslie, a full-time mother-of-three, is currently clear of cancer, while Mrs Henry, 60, was recently diagnosed with incurable lung cancer.
Determined to raise money for future research, the pair — former professional dancers — have established Future Dreams, a charity that will fund a selection of cancer projects. Their first fundraiser is a star-studded one-off London West End variety show, For One Night Only, with proceeds going to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Denise van Outen, Patrick Kielty and Christopher Biggins are among those who have agreed to take part.
“It is very exciting to use our backgrounds to be able to do something positive for the future generations,” Mrs Henry tells People. “It’s been amazing and helped keep my mind focused on other things.”
