No one is immune to cancer but when it affects a child the heartache is all the more pronounced.  | | Evie and her older brother |
That's exactly what happened to a group of Nottingham Trent University students when they heard a baby of a friend of theirs had been diagnosed with leukaemia. Baby Evie Prince was just six weeks old. Now a year old, Evie has undergone a bone marrow transplant - with her two-year old brother as the donor - and is still fighting the disease.  | | Copyright Anne Marie Mitchell |
The plight of Evie has prompted the mother's friends to raise money for CLIC (Cancer and Leukaemia in Children). And what better way than by producing the Nottingham Trent Girls Calendar 2005. Fourteen female students from the Creative Industries course and volunteers from the university's Photography course agreed to pose for the calendar.  | | Vicky Prince and Vicky Pont |
Vicky Pont and Vicky Prince are two of those behind the project: "Seeing what cancer can do to a young child is devastating and we just wanted to do something to help." "The idea behind the calendar combines working for charity with something that has really enticed students to get involved."  | | Copyright Anne Marie Mitchell |
Production on the calendar began in February this year and has just gone on sale after the launch at a special night at The Bar in Nottingham to tie in with Evie's first birthday. They are hoping to sell 3000 calendars in order to raise £15000 for CLIC. Each calendar will cost £5. You can find out more about the calendars by sending an email to babyevie_calendar@hotmail.com
