Corrie ladies support breast cancer charity

Manchester United's team colours feature red, normally. But this weekend, Old Trafford gets lit up with bright pink in support of Breast Cancer Care. There was a ladies-only dinner held there in honour of the charity and there were quite a few current and former female Coronation Street actors in attendance. Lucy Jo Hudson, who played the tragic Katy Harris, turned on the lights. She supports the charity because she lost her grandmother to the disease. Other names we'll recognize include Denise Welch (Natalie Horrocks Barnes), Tina O'Brien (Sarah Platt Grimshaw), Michelle Keegan (Tina McIntyre), Julie Hesmondhalgh (Hayley Cropper) and Katherine Kelly (Becky Granger McDonald). October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, not just in the U.K. either. Here in Canada, a major bank, CIBC, holds Run for the Cure in most cities across the country tomorrow, October 4. If you know someone running, sponsor them!
