Fiona Cunningham, 18, who is the creator of the Facebook Selfie page with nearly 250,000 followers. See NTI story NTISELFIE. The brainchild behind the no-makeup selfie phenomenon which raised millions of pounds for a cancer charity was yesterday (Tue) revealed to be ñ a TEENAGE MUM. Fiona Cunningham, 18, encouraged people to donate cash along with their selfies after actress Kim Novak kicked off the craze when she appeared bare-faced at the Oscars. The young mum-of-one set up a Facebook page from her bedroom in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs., and encouraged people to post no-makeup selfies while donating cash to Cancer Research UK. Incredibly, just days after creating the ëNo Makeup Selfie for Cancer Awarenessí page on March 18 she received a staggering 260,000 ëlikesí from supporters across the globe. Fiona, who is studying for a degree in criminal psychology with the Open University, was flooded with selfies from around the world and she recruited 12 friends to sort through each picture and upload it to Facebook. Just four days after launching her Facebook group, Cancer Research UK proudly announced they had received £2million in donations as a direct result of the no-makeup selfie campaign. Fiona, who lives with her fiance Carl Cook, 26, and their one-year-old son Jenson, decided to raise awareness for the disease after losing close family members to cancer.
