It's nearly show-time...
This year's Brave models will be taking to the catwalk for their model debut in just a few days time. Will you be joining us?
Each model taking part has been diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder at some point in their life - whether they are still currently going through treatment or they have received the all-clear.
The group of men, aged between 19 and 82, are travelling from all over Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire to attend weekly rehearsals, led by our event partner Premiere Productions UK. Here, they will be 'catwalk trained' and later they will be styled and dressed in some of Aberdeen's most-loved retailers.
