Nuttall, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when she was pregnant, refused potentially life-saving treatment because she would have been forced to terminate her pregnancy. After her daughter was born, she was told she had six months to live.

The Oscar-winning actress, 42, surprised Nuttall, whose daughter Penelope is now 3 years old, by calling in during her appearance on British talk show This Morning on Monday, February 5.

“I lost my own mother last year in May to ovarian cancer and we as a family were given a very poor prognosis for my mum, after a four-year battle, a really unbelievable fight, we decided to look elsewhere and we also stumbled across those places in Germany,” Winslet said. “Simultaneously I came across a petition on change.org.uk, which was Gemma, or someone on behalf of Gemma, campaigning to have immunotherapy made available on the NHS and my heart sunk as at that point I thought. This poor young woman is probably years away from her being able to access that kind of treatment on the national health service.’”

Winslet went to on to explain that she contacted Nuttall’s mother, Helen, to start raising funds so her daughter could start a six-session course of immunotherapy, a treatment that can cost up to $98,000 a visit.

“We got close to £200,000 [roughly $280,000] and I thought, ‘Right it’s time to call my friend Leo,’” the Reader actress said. “I phoned Leo and I said, ‘Do you think we could do a charity dinner or something?’ And he said, ‘Let’s go one better. Come with me to St. Tropez, to my big fundraiser for the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation … And we will auction off a dinner with Jack and Rose.’” The pair auctioned off three dinners with “Jack and Rose” in July and ended up raising $1.35 million to be split between Nuttall and DiCaprio’s foundation, which focuses on conservation.

While Winslet and DiCaprio have helped Nuttall make great strides, she still needs more help.

“Gemma needs further urgent specialist cancer treatment in Germany. Without it, she will die,” Winlset said in a statement to Us Weekly on Monday, February 5. “I have been in communication with Gemma and her lovely mum, Helen, for a while now. And we are all so thrilled that we were able to send Gemma off to the Hallwang for her first round of treatment. I will continue to assist with her costs, but we do still badly need your donations.”

She continued, “Join me in supporting this 28-year-old mum! Let’s truly do our best to keep her alive for her 3-year-old daughter, Penelope, who loves and needs her Mummy so much. We might be able to save her life with these desperately needed funds for this essential treatment. So spread the word out there! Let’s all tell as many people as we know, and please keep the words of support coming and the incredibly generous donations coming. Everyone deserves the best chance at life, let’s all try to help Gemma and Penelope have theirs!”

According to the Sunday Express, when the Duchess of Cambridge chopped her locks last summer, she anonymously donated seven inches of her hair to The Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs from real hair for children going through cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.

If you’re sitting there wondering how you’ve heard of that charity before, it’s probably because it’s the same charity Harry Styles famously donated his locks to in 2016.

Remember when he took an Instagram photo of his long braid chopped from his head? That’s where he sent it!

Meanwhile, The Little Princess Trust is so touched that Kate donated to their charity.”It’s lovely to think that somebody, somewhere—probably more than one person—has received a wig containing Princess Kate’s hair,” Helen Creese, a spokesperson for the charity, told People magazine. “It’s a really lovely thought and it’s fantastic for raising awareness, plus it’s gorgeous hair— we all lust after that hair!”

As for which little one could be wearing a wig with the Duchess’ hair? We may never know!”We like to thank everyone and send out little certificates to all our donors,” Creese explained. “But lots of people don’t fill in the paperwork and they don’t feel the need to be acknowledged in that way, but we are always very grateful.”
