Megan Elliot - Catwalk Captain
“Being a model for Maggie’s on the Runway in 2018 had been a huge turning point for me in my recovery from breast cancer. It was the most amazing experience in every way! It really boosted my self esteem, I made fabulous lifelong friends, and together we raised lots of much needed funding for the lifeline that is Maggie’s Manchester. This year’s models are incredible; courageous, funny and totally inspirational ladies and gents. It has been a privilege to share this experience with them for a second time. We’ve had a blast whilst raising vital funds to enable Maggie’s Manchester to keep doing what it does best.”

“What a privilege to be a part of Maggie’s on the Runway 2021, I am having the time of my life! Maggie’s has always been there for me and I am so proud to give back to them!”
Tracey Summerfield
“I first went to Maggie’s when I was due to have radiotherapy l was going to throw in the towel and refuse the treatment. I spoke to a lady who calmed me down and helped me to see I should fight on. The Maggies on the Runway show has helped me feel confident again and I have met so many other people who are going or have gone through the same as me.
I am also happy to be able to help raise funds and give something back to Maggie’s Centres so they can continue to help people in need xx”

“After having a fabulous time as a Maggie’s model in 2018 I was keen to offer help for 2021 so when Margo asked me to be co captain on the Hot Flush catwalk I was thrilled. I have loved helping Megan, who has done an amazing job, with getting the ladies catwalk ready. Watching the hot flush models of this year develop friendships and grow in confidence has been a privilege and I can’t wait to see them set the catwalk on fire.”

Back in 2018 I one of Ricks Chicks and it feels great to be back working with th new ladies!
Maggie’s……No better place to go for you and your family for help advice or just a friendly reassuring smile and a cake and cup of tea
I cant wait to see this years models strutting there stuff on the catwalk feeling like a million dollars. It’s such a wonderful feeling when all your stress and pain just disappears as you walk down the catwalk
The friendships they have made with their fellow models will last for ever.”
