Ali has joined other celebrities to show their support for events taking place in October as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.She attended the Breast Cancer Campaign's annual Pink Ribbon Ball on Saturday 9th October at the Dorchester Hotel in London, along with Camilla Dallerup, Kevin Sacre and Martine McCutcheon.
Ali spoke at the event and said afterwards: "I've had a really nice time tonight and it's so nice to see a room full of supporters who want to make a difference to people affected by breast cancer. The cause is really important to me and so I'm proud to support Breast Cancer Campaign and the fabulous work they do in helping the many thousands of women affected by this disease."
Ali, who lost her grandmother and aunt to breast cancer, spoke to Prima magazine this month about her family's loss. This year's ball is expected to raise more than £200,000 for the charity which funds research into breast cancer in the UK. Kevin Sacre tweeted a pic of Camilla and Ali together on the night.
Other events taking part this month include Pink Aerobics, which Ali helped publicise, and the QVC Breast Cancer Care Event this week on Wednesday 13th October. Shoppers at the QVC television channel can raise money for Breast Cancer Care when they buy items in the evening show from 8pm. (Thank you to Pennybel from the DS Ali & Brian Appreciation thread for highlighting this event.)
