Naomi Campbell has taken part in the charity fashion show in Moscow to help raise money for Russian children living with cancer.
The show drew a number of Russian celebrities and show-biz stars, as well as Naomi Campbell’s glamorous mother, Valerie Morris.
The 57-year-old mother of the ‘Black Panther’ said she was “proud of her daughter” for taking part in charity events all over the world.
Valerie said that she was keen to attend the charity event aimed at helping children with cancer because she “experienced the whole thing.”
Valerie shared with RT that she was diagnosed with cancer in 2004 but is now recovering.
“I’m an adult, but when it comes to children, your heart goes out to them because it’s traumatic even for an adult. How much more so for a child,” says Valerie Morris.
All money raised at the fashion show starring with Naomi Campbell will go to “Give A Life” foundation, set up by famous Russian actresses Chulpan Khamatova and Dina Korzun.
The charity “Give A Life” has been helping thousands of children all across Russia cope with cancer since 2006.
