LONDON, January 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Clinique is delighted to announce its partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital for the KISS IT BETTER appeal - to raise money to fund research into the causes and treatment of childhood cancer.

KISS IT BETTER is the brainchild of Carmel Allen whose daughter Josephine was treated at the hospital for Neuroblastoma - a type of cancer. After many months spent at the hospital, and struggling to reconcile life as a Beauty Editor, Carmel decided that she wanted to help and devised the KISS IT BETTER appeal.

"The premise was really simple, Kiss it Better is something every parent says and does when their child is sick or injured. I wanted to turn Josephine's experience into something positive and to help make a difference to the lives of children with cancer everywhere." says Carmel

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children first opened its doors on Valentine's Day, 1852 and to help celebrate the hospital's birthday and raise funds for the KISS IT BETTER appeal Clinique have puckered up with House of Fraser throughout the month of Febuary 2008 to help raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

For any Clinique lipstick or lipgloss sold at all House of Fraser stores nationwide, throughout the month of February 2008, GBP2.00 will be donated in total to the Kiss it Better appeal. (GBP1 will be donated by Clinique and GBP1 will be donated by House of Fraser)

"I am so proud to support this fantastic campaign. The Kiss it Better appeal provides everyone with fun opportunities to show their support. I urge all to take part and help support Great Ormond Street Hospital's very important research into childhood cancer." TV presenter Kirsty Young
