My name is Lina Hodgkins and I am 100% healthy. Sadly my dearest friend Leanne, who I have known for nearly 40 years isn't so fortunate. Leanne is battling a very rare form of cancer. I can't wave a magic wand and cure it, but I didn't want to sit around feeling depressed and helpless so have come up with something fun, silly and empowering that will hopefully make her laugh! (Or cringe! Lol)

One of my favourite sayings is 'when was the last time you did something for the first time?' so I stripped off and did an underwear shoot recently - aged 54. I'm no supermodel, but I am happy in my own skin. We should all love the bodies we have been given, lumps and bumps and all. One day it could all change, and the bit of cellulite you once were stressing over will be so insignificant. Having said that, I was utterly terrified, as I not only stripped off, I did it on TV!!! 

So let's all celebrate the bodies we do have, and have a laugh and raise money for a great charity. It's simple:

1) Strip to your undies

2) Do something silly

3) Take a selfie

4) Nominate at least 3 other people

5) Donate to the Macmillan Angels either on this page, or simply text BANT88 to 70070

So I'm doing this for Leanne, my strong, courageous and beautiful friend, who still has an amazing sense of humour even in the toughest of times.
