Support ... Ellie De Nardo watched her mum Jill battle the disease
Ellie, from Buxton, Derbyshire, persuaded her pals to get naked while her old schoolmate Rosie Hardy, 22, took the pictures. Ellie, a business studies graduate, said: ?If we make just a few people aware of this rare cancer, it will have all been worthwhile.?
Proceeds from the calendar ? available from behindcancercampaign.org.uk ? go to the Christie charity and the Human Papillomavirus and Anal Cancer Foundation in the UK.

January
SARAH JONES, 24, is Ellie?s sister-in-law from Derbyshire.
?Unfortunately many members of my family have been affected by cancer and not all have survived. I jumped at the chance to raise money for The Christie, a vital hospital where they treat those suffering from cancer and support them and their families.
?Making the calendar was fun and a way 12 normal girls could raise awareness.?
February
PHOTOGRAPHER Rosie Hardy, 22, created the calendar and is a friend of Ellie?s from school.
She said: ?For most people the thought of taking your clothes off and posing naked is a daunting experience.
?But when you compare that to what cancer sufferers go through day to day, you realise it is nothing. So I just wanted to play my small part to raise awareness for this cause.?
March
KATE BESWICK, 20, is a student and a good friend of Ellie?s from Buxton, Derbyshire.
She said: ?When Ellie asked me to take part in the calendar, I automatically agreed because I knew it was for such a good and important cause.

May
LAURA MORRIS, 20, a pal of Ellie?s from Buxton, is studying PE at Leeds Metropolitan University.
She said: ?My cousin was diagnosed with cancer when she was only 18 months old so I know how this impacts on a family. She is 53 now and fit and well, but without the research into all the types of cancer, she may not have survived.
?Doing the calendar was a little bit scary, but well worth it.?
June
NATASHA McGAREY has been Ellie?s best friend since she was four years old. She is currently studying business at The University of West England.
Natasha, 22, said: ?I wanted to help my friend and her family any way I could and the calendar is a great way to get the message across.

AMY SELBY, 20, is Ellie?s friend and is studying at the University of Derby.
She said: ?Having family members who have been affected by cancer, I chose to take part to take an active part in raising money for the cause.

August
GABY TYLER, 20, another Buxton-based pal of Ellie?s, is studying English literature at the University of Sheffield.

?The calendar was a very fun and different way of raising money and getting people talking.

September
ELLIE said: ?My mum is the strongest and bravest person I know ? but even she has had her weak moments throughout all of this, which is why I did this special project for her.

October
AMY SMITH, 34, from Derby, is Ellie?s cousin and works as a sales manager.

She said: ?In 2001, my mum was diagnosed with malignant melanoma and was treated at the Christie, where the cancer was successfully removed.

December
ABI HUTTON, 22, a school mate of Ellie?s, is studying Textile Design at Manchester Metropolitan University.
She said: ?When I was about eight years old my grandma lost her battle with cancer, so I was determined to help Ellie with this campaign.
