'ThePinkRibbonWalk' in aid of Breast Cancer Aware
First up on today’s show we had the wonderful Penny McGowan from ‘The Pink Ribbon Walk’. Penny is the chairperson of the organisation and spoke to GTB about the charity which is in aid of ‘Action Breast Cancer’. The Pink Ribbon Walk began in Kells, Co Meath in 2009. A committee of local women, some of whom had been affected by breast cancer themselves. These brave women decided to establish a sponsored walk to raise money for breast cancer support. The first Walk attracted over 600 walkers and raised €100,000 and GTB are hoping that this year even more people will get involved.

Absolute School of Modelling
On the show we were joined by the lovely Anne Morgan, Director of Absolute School of modelling. Absolute School Of Modelling teach and guide girls in the business of modelling to help them pursue a career in modelling through one day work shops. At these work shops they teach you everything from fashion tips to healthy eating to getting an agency, fitness and much much more. At the class you also will get your hair and make up done and leave with some photos taken by the fantastic photographer to put in your portfolio.
Being a model herself Anne knows exactly how the industry works and hopes to guide many more Irish girls and help them succeed in the industry. However this course is also aimed at people who maybe would not like to be models but who would like to work on their confidence. Class sizes are small and are limited to ten people per class so this means there is high demand so make sure to book in quick. You must be over 16 to take part and classes only take places once or sometimes twice a month. For more info on booking your place you can log onto http://www.asmdublin.com/

This setting offers training, mentoring and an opportunity for women who call on other women with specialist expertise for help.
