Family and friends of cancer-stricken Jade Goody are organising a massive walk to raise money to fight the deadly disease.

More than 500 people have already signed up for the event, which will take place on February 28.

Big Brother star's new hubby Jack Tweed will also take part if Jade is well enough for him to leave her. His siblings have also pledged support.

Organiser and friend Jerri Lee, 24, said Walk for Jade took off when she posted details on Facebook.

"All of her mates just want to help as much as we can," the Mirror quoted her as saying.

"The walk is about her, her family and fighting cancer. I told her about it at the wedding and she was absolutely thrilled.

"It really touched her heart. We are all doing whatever we can to support her and give her a boost," she added.
