London
(ANI):
Australian
model
Elle
Macpherson
has
joined
a
charity
campaign
to
raise
awareness
of
women"s
health
in
a
bid
to
drive
down
cervical
cancer
rates.
Macpherson,
46,
lent
her
support
to
Wellbeing
of
Women,
which
funds
screenings
and
vaccinations
for
females
in
the
U.K.,
and
she
is
urging
them
to
visit
their
doctor
regularly
for
health
checks.
“Many
women
don"t
take
time
out
to
be
checked
routinely,
sometimes
choosing
to
ignore
it
or
worry
about
being
checked," the
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
saying.
“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,"
she
added.
