Yesterday a tearful yet "giggling" Jade Goody tried on her wedding dress and told her mum: "This is my dream, and this is my dream dress". Mohamed al Fayed arranged for his gift to be delivered from Harrods to Jade's bedside at Royal Marsden Hospital, while Jack was fitted for his suit at a tailor in Soho. Their wedding on Sunday will take place at Down Hall country manor in Essex, and Jade will reportedly receive £1.5million from OK!'s magazine and Living TV's documentary coverage of the ceremony. Jade's public battle with cervical cancer has raised awareness amongst women, with a spokesman for Cancer Research saying:
"In response to Jade being back in the news this week, we've seen the number of cervical cancer pages viewed increase to around 20,000 - ten times the average. By raising awareness for cervical cancer Jade Goody's plight could save thousands of lives by encouraging more young women to have a smear test."
Jade's shown such bravery during her illness, and her willingness to go public with the details will make a huge difference to the number of women getting checked. Take a look at my slideshow of Jade's life in the public eye and celebrate her courage.

Post a CommentHopefully, that will be her legacy and thats what she will be remembered for...For making young women aware of the importance of going to have a smear test.
yea me too munchkin, i really feel for her, i wish her all the best and good for her and her sons, i know a lot of people are negative about her but i think she has done very well for herself over the last few years and good for her for doing the best possible for her boys.
I think anyone that says anything negative about her now, needs their heads examined. A very young woman is dying of something with a simple test could have been caught. She will leave behind two very young children. That is sad no matter what!
The statistics of younger women with cervical cancer is going UP and yet many insurances still refuse to cover cancer screening for women 20-27! So to put herself out in the media like this is amazing. Even more so because she has children.
She is so blessed to be so loved and have this amazing wedding at this time in her life.
I think anything in her past is just that...the past.
I think the quote says it all

She will leave behind a beautiful legacy and as a young woman I thank her.
I hope she has a grand and amazing wedding day!
