British blogger and cervical cancer survivor Jessica Knowles has been announced as an ambassador for Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

Knowles was diagnosed with cervical cancer earlier this year after experiencing abnormal bleeding, and received the all clear in August following surgery to remove her cervix (a radical trachelectomy) and pelvic lymph nodes. She commented 'Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust was an absolute lifeline for me during my diagnosis, they were a crucial and comforting support to me in my time of need and continue to be so. They provide a wealth of information via their website, in particular their forum where many of my questions and concerns were answered by incredible women who were far braver than me. By becoming an ambassador for the charity and sharing my story, I hope I can help raise further awareness of the disease and ensure more women know the symptoms to look out for'.
