Elly Mayday

April 15, 1988 — Saskatchewan, Canada

Elly Mayday is one of the fastest rising plus-size Canadian models in the world today. At 25, Elly discovers she has an extremely rare form of ovarian cancer but continues to model even through her rapid weight and hair loss. Temporarily set back by her illness, she has to wait until she has recovered to sign her dream contract with one of the largest modelling agencies in New York. With over a hundred thousand fans on social media, Elly has become an inspiration to women who deal with body image issues on a daily basis.
