The brain-child of Albury photographer Janiece McCarthy, 50 Fabulous Women shares the story of women touched by cancer, either directly or indirectly.

Mrs McCarthy said she wanted to show every woman had a story to tell.

"These lovely women share their stories that will motivate, inspire, educate, make you laugh and make you cry," she said.

"But ultimately, their stories will provide you with the realisation that they are every day women - not famous or worldly, but women just like you and me."

In return for a $75 donation to the Trust Fund, Mrs McCarthy offered women a studio portrait experience and to share their story.

The book will be officially launched at the a gala fundraiser at Atura Albury on Friday at 6pm.

Wodonga mum Natalie Nelson was nominated to be part of the book after she was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, which affects cells present in the nervous and endocrine systems.

"I was a bit overwhelmed at the start, but I felt that if I got my story out there and raised some awareness, then some good can come out of it," she said.

"Our bodies know when something's not right (and) my body told me when I had a bowel intussusception.

"If this didn't happen my cancer may not have been found.

"So I encourage people to read the signs in their body and follow up with their doctors."

Tickets for the gala can be purchased for $46 from 50fabulouswomenlaunchgala.floktu.com.
