One of our favorite BMEGirls, Nexizydrate, is back with a brand new photoshoot for a good cause. If you recall, Nexi did a play piercing shoot a few years back to raise money for cancer research. Well this year she’s going to be participating in the Cancer Research UK’s “Race for Life”, and to mark the occasion she had some photos taken of the outfit she’ll be racing in.
If you’d like to sponsor Nexizydrate on her run, you can do so right here. Here’s what she has to say about the race:
Hello ALL!!
Last year i physically couldn’t do the Race for Life, however this year i am bouncing back and looking to walk 10K; we will see on the day how my Fibromyalgia lets me – however i will no matter what be doing the 5k.
anyway…. enough babbling….I’ll cut to the chase.
I NEED SPONSORSHIP!!
I have set up a just giving page at: http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/lunaeklipse
so it’s really easy to donate and completely secure!!
I’m aiming to raise £100, doesn’t sound like a lot but it will go a long way to help scientists and doctors in their endeavours to help those with cancer; we are all effected in one way or another by “the big C” either from knowing first hand what it is like to hear those horrible words, or by knowing someone who has had Cancer. These days however it’s not the death sentence it used to be, and the stigma that was once attached as long since gone.
i want you guys to help me raise the £100 and maybe even more! I will be all dressed up on the day in Pink (me….in pink….) and sparkles and glitter and all sorts of fun things so it’s not like I’m not going head long into this – I’m really going for it!
I’m not asking for a huge sum of money from you all, just a small donation of £2 would make a HUGE difference.
Thank you in advance.
Race day is Sunday May 13th at 11AM
You can see more photos from the Peter Whitney shoot in the BMEGirls gallery.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
thank you rob – i’ve raised £47 so far – so not much to go!!
Does anyone know Cancer Research UK’s policy on animal testing?
Is there an alternative charity that does not use animals for medical experimentation (if the above does) which we can donate to?
will repost in my girls chronic pain awareness group on facebook and see if we can get you some sponsorship down here in New Zealand, Well dont and good luck.
My partner has Fibro so I get to see what it takes for someone to do something like this.

Thank you Travis!
Inka… to be honest on the subject of cancer if they DO animal test (which i’m not sure if they do tbh) i can forgive it. this is cancer and we need all the help we can get. if animal testing helps us find a cure and better treatments then so be it. i know lots of other people who are animal rights activists that agree with me. as far as donating to another Cancer Research charity there isn’t another UK based cancer research charity; only Cancer Research UK. all the others are support charities only to the best of my knowledge.
Yay Nexi!
Fibro sucks, but you rock.
just a quick follow up… i raised over £200!
