As the New Year moves closer, many charities begin to rack their brains and wonder, “what can we do to make this year’s calendar a success?”
Well, according to Climbers Against Cancer the answer is simple, include a caravan.
Their choice to include scantily clad female athletes may also play a small part in making the calendar appealing – and we’d have to agree, it does.
Travelling from all over the globe, the female climbers gathered in Boulder Colorado, USA, and took it in turns to strike poses in front and inside of a vintage silver caravan, before grouping together to create the photograph for December.
Speaking to The Mirror, Shauna Coxsey, who features in October, said, “As a trustee of Climbers Against Cancer I wanted to do something different, fun and light hearted for the cause and this seemed perfect.
“A calendar full of climbing photos would draw some attention, but people see us climbing all of the time so it wouldn’t be different or unique.”
Founded in 2010, Climbers Against Cancer was established to bring cancer suffering climbers together from around the world.
John Ellison, whose idea started the charity said: “This calendar will be a huge help.”
The calendar is on sale now, priced at £19.99 from shop.climbersagainstcancer.org.
