Most people have had cancer touch their lives in
some way – either themselves, a relative, a friend. I am happy to be helping
Cancer Research UK find people for their Shine walk advert. The Shine walk
is a night time walk through London and I am looking for some people who
fulfill the brief below. There will be a lot more people on the walk in this
spot than those mentioned below however the director is trying to put across
certain ideas hence we are being quite specific re the people we are looking
for. The walk is to be filmed for a spot for Shine Walk and will be shown
online to promote the walk itself.
No one person is featured – camera may linger on
each of our characters below but it’s more enhanced walk on – not featured.
Hopefully many people will want to be involved in this good cause

‘Shining for Mum’ or ‘ Shining for Dad’.
It would be very helpful if the 2 sisters look
similar so we know immediately they are related – twins would be good too!

cancer together! Preferably she looks between 20-35yrs old
