BOLD takes on TIMES SQUARE 🇺🇸

From @piccadillylights in London on the 1st October to the iconic @nasdaq Tower and MIFI board in @timessquarenyc New York last night!

Having appeared on these famous London and New York screens in 2024, we're absolutely delighted to be back for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 🎀

Featuring 45 incredible women from across the UK, alongside women from America and Portugal, @bold_exhibition is about giving visibility to women who have lost their hair through breast cancer. No wigs, no hiding, no apologies. Just strength, beauty and individuality.

Founded by the incredibly talented photographer @caroline_sikkenk BOLD is a project very close to my heart. Since the Pink Ribbon Foundation embraced it in the UK in 2023, both the Foundation and I personally have been immensely proud of how far it has come and the incredible women whose stories we've helped share.

Huge thanks to Caroline and her daughter @roosspee for their hard work producing this beautiful film, and to @brandedcities for their generosity and kindness in making this possible.

It was also wonderful to meet @autumniwaddell who made a mad dash from Virginia with her family to be there, and @therealcyn who connected with me thanks to our fabulous @lindexofficial boob umbrella!

🎥 Thank you @alexajaephoto for capturing this special moment - and to @carolinarialmusic for the introduction (you were missed)!

To every BOLD woman, thank you for trusting us with your story.

Last night, you lit up New York ✨

Be Bold.
Be Aware.
Check yourself.
Know your normal.

There are some moments that you know you’ll never forget. This was one of them 💗

Seeing our @bold_exhibition UK film light up the @piccadillylights was incredibly special, but what made it even more beautiful was being able to share the moment in person with so many of our BOLD ladies from England, Scotland and Wales.

Those who couldn’t be there were cheering us on through WhatsApp, watching from wherever they were - and hopefully some will be able to join us when the film returns to the Piccadilly Lights on Thursday 29 October, when we’ll show it again in full at 6:30pm.

Our enormous thanks to Lil and the team at the Piccadilly Lights and @oceanoutdooruk for giving these women, their stories and this important breast cancer awarenes message such an extraordinary platform.

Thank you to @caroline_sikkenk and @roosspee for bringing the film together with so much care and heart. To Neil and the team at @skypoweruk for capturing this incredible footage from above. And, most importantly, to every single woman who has trusted us to share her story and be part of BOLD.

And next stop … Times Square, New York!

With the help of @brandedcities, we’ll be taking BOLD to the screens of Times Square (again) in the middle of October. Details to follow – but I’m ridiculously excited that I’ll actually be there to see it, as I’ll be in New York celebrating Neve's 21st birthday. What a moment that is going to be. 💗

This is what BOLD is about.

Being seen. Being heard. Standing together.

Be Bold. Be Aware. Check yourself. Know your normal 💗 by @pinkribbonfoundation

What a way to start a Saturday morning… BOLD on @bbcbreakfast 📺

This morning, @rhinat89 and @samgronow shared their stories so beautifully, while some familiar @bold_exhibition UK faces popped up #BTS too - including a little dancing during the shoot! Because anyone who has experienced a BOLD photoshoot knows there’s always laughter, music and plenty of dancing alongside the emotion ✨️

Watching it made me realise just how far this project has come.

It started with a conversation with @caroline_sikkenk founder and photographer of BOLD, at a @thinkpinkeurope conference. I saw Caroline’s incredible portraits of women affected by hair loss through breast cancer treatment and immediately thought: “We HAVE to bring this to the UK.”

And we did 💗

England in 2023/2024
Scotland in 2025
Wales in 2026

45 incredible women photographed so far.

Their portraits have gone from Caroline’s camera to the @piccadillylights, Mid-Town boards in Times Square, @sidingswaterloo, @princessquare, @scotparl, @westerngeneralhospital and more - with further exhibitions planned in Scotland and Wales.

And we’re not finished.

In 2027, we’re taking BOLD to Ireland, giving another group of women the opportunity to step in front of Caroline’s camera and tell their stories 🇮🇪

Because BOLD isn’t just about taking a beautiful photograph.

The women become part of something. The images keep being seen. The stories keep being told. The friendships continue. And other people affected by breast cancer get to see real women, real bodies and real experiences represented without apology.

None of this happens without partnership, so thank you to every hotel, travel partner, venue, sponsor and supporter who has helped us give BOLD a home, move it around the country and put these extraordinary images in front of new audiences.

And most importantly, thank you to our 45 BOLD women for trusting us with your stories 🎀

From a photoshoot in 2023 to BBC Breakfast in 2026 …

BOLD keeps growing.

And so does the conversation 💗

✨ 6 MONTHS OF IMPACT & INSPIRATION ✨
What an incredible journey it has been! For the past 6 months, our BOLD exhibition has found a home at the Tonic Gallery inside @westerngeneralhospital.
Together with the @pinkribbonfoundation, we proudly showcased 35 photo panels and a digital slideshow, bringing hope, connection, and inspiration to so many patients, visitors, and healthcare staff who walked through the hospital halls 💕
A huge thank you to everyone at the Tonic Gallery, Western General Hospital and @nhslothcharity for hosting us so warmly!
On to our next stop in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ by @pinkribbonfoundation

The thing I couldn’t do after a mastectomy that I’d never even thought about.

You never really understand how hard a big operation is to recover from until you’re in it. I couldn’t lift my arms above my shoulders, so getting dressed, showering and even sleeping all had to change. And then there was my hair. My hairdryer was too heavy to hold up, so my sister Gina dried it for me.

If you or someone you love is facing surgery, these helped me:

👚 Front-fastening tops, so nothing goes over your head

💗 A heart-shaped pillow under the arm at night

🕷️ The spider exercise, fingers up the wall, as your breast care team advises

💨 A light hairdryer, or someone you trust to hold one

I’ve put this tiny one on my Life Favourites website - it comes with light mini straighteners too - you can get 10% off with “PINK10” and another 10% is donated straight to @pinkribbonfoundation

💫 You can find the link in my bio or comment PINK below and I’ll DM you the link. by @pinkribbonfoundation

Looking for a way to move that feels good and is kind to your body? 💗

Rebounding (bouncing on a mini trampoline) is a low-impact workout you can do at home, at your own pace, in just a few minutes a day. It’s:

✨ Gentle on your joints

✨ Loved for getting your lymphatic system moving

✨ Great for balance and coordination

✨ A real mood-lifter (it’s impossible not to smile while bouncing!)

✨ Suitable for all ages and fitness levels

If you’re going through or recovering from treatment, just check in with your care team before starting anything new 💕

Fancy giving it a go?

Use code PINKRIBBON for 10% off at Rebound Fitness. @reboundfithq will then donate 10% so every rebounder sold helps support the Pink Ribbon Foundation and those affected by breast cancer 🎀

What does it really mean to be seen?

Not just looked at, but truly seen. For who you are, what you've been through, and the person you still are when something as personal as your hair is taken away by breast cancer treatment.

We came together at the @piccadillylights for our 2nd BOLD screening of the month, and our 3rd time appearing on the iconic Piccadilly Lights, the largest advertising screens in Europe.

And, it never gets old.

Women travelled from across the UK to stand together and see themselves celebrated on one of the world's most famous screens.

What began with just 13 incredible women (in London) has grown into a collection of 45 women photographed across the UK by the wonderfully talented @caroline_sikkenk - Founder of the BOLD project.

Sadly, three of those women are no longer with us. @thelindanolan, Sally and, more recently, Tansy. But their stories, their courage and their images remain. Their legacy continues every time someone sees these portraits and feels a little less alone.

Many of the women look very different today from the photographs taken during their treatment. Their hair has grown back, their lives have moved forward, and their stories continue to evolve. But the impact of those images hasn't diminished.

Because BOLD has never been just about breast cancer or losing your hair. It's about identity. Confidence. Vulnerability. Positivity. The way we see ourselves and, perhaps more importantly, the way the world sees us.

It's about challenging perceptions of what a woman going through cancer treatment should look like, and showing that beauty, femininity and strength don't disappear with your hair.

When I look at these women, I don't see illness. I see individuality, beauty, resilience and an extraordinary collective strength. And I see women who, by allowing themselves to be seen at one of the most vulnerable times in their lives, are making a difference for the women who will come after them.

That's what makes BOLD so powerful.

Thank you to every woman who has trusted us with her story and to those who've have given these women a platform, because being seen matters!
