October is known worldwide as breast cancer awareness month, and talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, found a novel way to get people talking about the cause. Liam Neeson, the actor who starred in Star Wars, Love Actually and The A-Team, got into a dunk tank – much to the delight of a very hysterical fan.

Arriving in a pale-pink bathrobe, and wearing a bright pink speedo, Liam met a breast-cancer survivor. To say that this woman was hysterical is the understatement of the century. Imagine every Justin Bieber fan in the world, trapped in the body of one woman, and going crazy for Liam Neeson. That’s about a tenth of this woman.

The deal is simple – Liam Neeson is placed in a dunk tank, and the lady throws balls at a target to release some liquid over him. The sponsoring company will then pledge $10 000 to cancer research. Liam upped the ante though – asking for double the amount to be donated if he took his robe off – which is exactly what he did.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women world-wide. Luckily, it’s also one of the most treatable. Ladies, make sure to give your girls a good feel this month to check for lumps. Guys, you better double check just to make sure.
