A big thanks also goes to Merseyside taxi driver Neil Richards who has brought together the 'cabbie community' to raise awareness of Field of Women.



Neil said: "Around 2000 Hackney carriages will be displaying a Field of Women sticker and actively talking to customers about it. We want to make a difference a see those 10,000 people come together."










EX-BOND GIRL CALLS FOR SUPPORT



Former Bond girl Shannon Ledbetter has joined our growing list of Field of Women supporters.



Reverend Dr Shannon, who wore a £250,000 PVC dress in the film Tomorrow Never Dies, is now a curate at St Mary's in Knowsley village, Liverpool.



Shannon has prepared a prayer in advance of Field of Women and is encouraging all faiths - as well as the 1250 churches across Merseyside - to pray for those affected by breast cancer and attend the Field of Women event.



The prayer is available at www.fieldofwomen.com
