Janet Fielding fighting cancer

Janet Fielding is currently battling cancer, reports Doctor Who News.

The Doctor Who actress, who appeared as Tegan Jovanka alongside both Tom Baker and Peter Davison in the 1980s, has the support of a number of stars who are attending a fundraising event.

Guests including Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann and David Tennant will be attending a convention on Saturday 19th January 2013 at the Copthorne Hotel Slough-Windsor.

It will raise funds for Project Motor House which is attempting to develop a place in Thanet for young people to start their own businesses. Janet acts as the project co-ordinator and community champion for the organisation.

The Project Motor House convention is aiming to "not only raise money for a good cause but also keep Janet's spirits up."
