Lump extra: Catwalk for a Cause memories

What's the value in sharing all this stuff? This ep Pennie swaps stories and experiences with Ali, Rohaise and Shireen about Ali's mega fundraiser for the Highland Hospice, Catwalk for a Cause, an annual event which mixes highly emotive and punch-packing story telling with strutting your stuff on the catwalk. It sounds like a bonkers mix and it probably is, but it works. In the wake of her cancer battle, Pennie swore blind she'd never take part but Ali did some serious arm-twisting and, along with Rohaise, Shireen and a whole host of other models with a story to tell, Pennie got up on the catwalk and helped raise insane amounts of money for the Hospice. With the shadow of the next Catwalk event looming, in this bonus ep they all reflect on why they did it and the impact it had on all of them.

Searingly honest, heart-breaking, often sweary and laugh out loud funny, LUMP is one woman’s rollercoaster ride through the mind meltdown which comes with learning you have breast cancer. 

Utterly human and compelling, it’s a unique story which will resonate with anyone and everyone who’s ever had a battle with a life changing event in their lives.
