Charlie’s Angels are four best friends who are participating in the Appealathon 12km Walk and taking part in the Activ Charity Challenge by fundraising for The Leukemia Foundation. The team consists of Laurie Davidson, Rachel Foy, Kim Parkin and Jess Henham-Barrow, all 21.

This is the first time the girls have taken part in the event together and they are currently underway in their training for the big day. The four friends are participating in honour of Lavanya Scholes, who lost her battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia last year, after a 16 month fight at only 27 years of age. Out of 13 million registered bone marrow donors worldwide, none were a match for Lavanya. A worldwide search for a donor sparked media interest across the globe as people were being tested in a bid to save Lavanya's life, but sadly Lavanya lost her battle to the disease in December 2009.

We wish the girls luck in their aim to raise $3,000 to help fund patient support and vital research into better treatments and cures. To read more or to donate to Charlie’s Angels CLICK HERE.
