Hoping to decrease cervical cancer rates, supermodel Elle Macpherson is backing a charity campaign to increase awareness of the disease.

Macpherson is working with Wellbeing of Women, which funds screenings and vaccinations for females in the United Kingdom.

It’s easy to think ‘It won’t happen to me,’ or ‘I don’t want to know what’s going on.’ The fact is, I always feel better after going to see the doctor for my regular checks. I know that I’m okay and that I’ve been responsible and faced my fears. Please get checked, ladies.”
