Win a £1,000 makeover - we have four to give away
Do you know a woman who is battling cancer and would welcome a £1,000 makeover at this stressful time as she undergoes chemotherapy?
We have 4,000 worth of makeovers on offer for four Wearside women, whatever kind of cancer they are fighting and who have lost their hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and joie de vivre.
>> Send your nominations to: Linda Colling, women's editor, Sunderland Echo, Echo House, Pennywell, Sunderland, SR4 9ER, marking them Caroline's Campaign or email linda.colling@northeast-press, with the subject Caroline's Campaign
If that's you or you have a loved one who needs a boost from their gruelling ordeal we want to hear your nomination.
Specially chosen wigs will be provided free, along with hair styling, eyelash and eyebrow enhancements and manicure.
The makeover day is October 7 at the Sunderland salon of Toni&Guy in High Street West.
It is the idea of dynamic public relations executive and magazine columnist Caroline Monk, who lost her hair following chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Meeting other women in the same boat fired her to launch a national campaign involving stylists around the country.
She said: "I found the main thing these women were talking about wasn't dying or worrying about treatment - but how they looked.
"They were so depressed about how they looked they didn't want to leave their houses. Following chemo they had no hair, no eyelashes and no eyebrows."
Our four women will have wigs cut to suit their faces as well as tattoos to replace their lost eyebrows and eyelash extensions.
