A heart-touching incident has come to light in Britain, where some courageous women got a nude photoshoot done to help their friend. This unique initiative is being discussed extensively on social media. This is the story of 32-year-old Jessica Riggs, who lives in Saltash, Cornwall and suffers from a rare disease. Her source of inspiration was the comedy-drama film “Calendar Girls”, which inspired her and her 17 friends to take a bold step.
Nude photoshoot for treatment of disease
Jessica Riggs and her friends created a calendar through a nude photoshoot. By selling this calendar, he raised $32,000 (about Rs 27.15 lakh). This amount has been raised to cover the expenses of Riggs’s necessary surgery. If this surgery was not done, he was in danger of becoming paralyzed.
Jessica said, “My illness is hidden. “At first glance, it seems that I am completely healthy, but it is not so.” He first saw symptoms of the disease at the age of 22. With time his problem became serious, due to which he had to leave his career.
The idea of photoshoot and its success

This effort of Jessica and her 17 friends not only raised money for the surgery, but also gave a strong message to the society that true friendship can solve any difficulty.
Calendar will be published in January

However, all the photos of the nude photoshoot have not been made public yet. This calendar will be released in January 2025. Before this, some pictures have been shared on social media, which are becoming increasingly viral.
