Kathryn Morris UK

Just a quick note.

For those concerned, and you can count me amongst them, about the lack updates on Kathryn’s role as the SSA spokesperson, and the associated AVENYA Apparrel t-shirt photoshoot of course, worry not.

I have been assured that it is still happening.  There has been a small delay the photo approval process.  Choosing the best shots must have been very difficult.  We are talking about pictures of Kathryn after all!  For anyone else out there suffering a similar problem, I’m happy to volunteer my services for such an arduous task

Watch this space for updates.

Thanks to Janelle @ EIC for the update.

We all know that Kathryn is a fair skinned beauty.  Of course being that way has its downsides.  One of the most dangerous ones is the added risk of skin cancer caused by over exposure to the sun.

“Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S. More than one million cases of skin cancers  are diagnosed each year, and one person dies from it every hour,” said Morris. “As someone with fair skin, how could I not get involved in trying to prevent something so preventable?”

To highlight the risks Kathryn has become a spokesperson for a T-shirt line that offers UV protection being launched by the Sun Safety Alliance (SSA) and the Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC), both based in the United States.  Fellow actress Andrea Bowen (Desperate Housewives) joins Kathryn in the role.

The SSA has worked with AYANA Apparel to design the range of T-shirts that provide high SPF protection and are available through AYANA’s website.  Donations will be made to the SSA from purchases.

Kathryn has done a photoshoot, the results of which will form part of the promotional campaign.  I understand that the shoot went well and that Kathryn was, as we’ve come to expect of her, lots of fun, full of smiles, warm, welcoming and relaxed.

Photos from that session will be released in the next couple of weeks.  I look forward to seeing them.
