FORMER Newcastle United striker Les Ferdinand is urging men to get in touch with their feminine side to help Cancer Research UK. Posters featuring the footballer, plus tough-guy actor Liam Neeson, former man behaving badly Martin Clunes, and director Michael Winner modelling pink handbags will appear in Cancer Research UK shops throughout North East England. The pictures, taken by legendary photographer and cancer survivor Terry O'Neill, aim to draw attention to Cancer Research UK's breast cancer awareness campaign Join The Fight For Women's Survival. The celebrities have all been affected by breast cancer, and represent the fact that, behind the 45,500 women diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK, is an army of husbands, sons, brothers, fathers and friends who are also deeply affected and who play a supporting role. The handbags the men model form part of a range of pink products available in Cancer Research UK shops and from www.shoptobeatcancer.org.uk from 99p to £14.99. All profits go towards the charity's life-saving research into breast cancer. Les Ferdinand, who lost his mother to breast cancer in 1990, said: "Nothing can prepare you for being told your mother has breast cancer. It was a huge shock, and rocked our entire family." Cancer Research UK is the biggest single funder of breast cancer research in the UK, so raise money to help its life-saving work to beat breast cancer."
