\n Residents and members of community groups from across Marlow came together for a photoshoot at Basement Photographic in Bourne End on August 19 for the Marlow Community Against Cancer calendar.\n<\/p>\n
\n Participants included members of Marlow Football Club, Bridge Hydro, Marlow Town Band and the Marlow Mermaids, among other local groups.\n<\/p>\n
\n The calendar is being produced to raise money for The Cancer Treatment and Research Trust.\n<\/p>\n
\n The fundraising initiative was launched by Chris and Helen after Chris was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n They have said the project was inspired by the spirit of Calendar Girls and their determination not to let cancer define those affected by it.\n<\/p>\n
\n Although behind-the-scenes photographs from the shoot have been released, the finished calendar images remain under wraps ahead of the launch.\n<\/p>\n
\n Photographer Mark Anthony Saul captured the images for the calendar during the photoshoot, while two students from Buckinghamshire New University provided hair and make-up support on the day.\n<\/p>\n
\n Chris and Helen are also hoping to exhibit the photographs in Marlow, with a silent auction and raffle also being planned.\n<\/p>\n
\n The aim of the project is to turn the calendar into something that provides meaningful support for people and families affected by cancer.\n<\/p>\n
\n Future plans include a launch event and the premiere of a film made during the photoshoot.\n<\/p>\n
\n The calendar is expected to go on sale in October through the project’s website, with organisers also keen for copies to be stocked in local shops across the area.\n<\/p>\n
