Lipstick Army Website I need your help! We need £5k to help fund Laura's Charity Lipstick Army! Please help! This charity will continue my beautiful twin sister, Laura Hamilton's work, Who recently passed away after a tough 2 year fight with cervical cancer.

No one should go through what she did, but my god she did it with a smile, class and some stunning red Lipstick on , always seeing the positives.

After losing my twin sister I felt a huge hole in my heart and life. By creating Lipstick Army I can help those who Laura would have helped if she was still here.

Even in her darkest moments all she did was care for vulnerable people. I remember walking with her in the centre of Exeter, She was in excruciating pain, the after effects of radio therapy, she could bearly walk having taken 20 mins to walk only a few feet.

When she saw a homeless person across the street and instead of continuing her walk to the car, she made sure to walk over to that person and gave her all the money she had. Then asked her if she was ok and if she needed anything else. When Laura was in agony and exhausted.

This is just one of the many amazing ways Laura helped people not because she wanted recognition but simply because she cared.

She helped change the lives of so many women. She has been involved with charities all of her life. Starting with the light house project helping support women working in prostitution, & domestic violence &became a CBT therapist to help & support vulnerable people. Laura gave so much& now it is our time to give.

It was Laura's goal to set up her own charity & as her twin sister I am going to ensure this happens. So please donate and help me continue Laura's work.

The charity will focus on supporting vulnerable women, throughout the U.K. working with individuals and groups basis some of the many services we will be providing are :

* Advice ( Alturnative cancer treatment & nutritional information, Bereavment support, benefit entitlement etc)

* Self Help & Confidance building Courses

*Therapy

*Counselling

*Financial funding support ( example :alternative cancer treatments & fertility treatments due to cancer treatment)

* Social networking and support ( Helping women build a network of support and friendships within their local communities)

*Employment &Encouragement.

With the huge ultimate goal of one day opening a women's retreat providing all the above services and more. Where we on can stay and heal.

The aim of the charity is to change lives for the better, some times one person alone is just a drop in the ocean &their ripples get lost amongst the waves, but 10 people 20 people create an army and armies win wars.

Laura faced so many fears head on and was so brave, strong and glamorous wile she did it!

One of Laura’s fears even from a child was a fear of taking tablets, but she knew that if she wanted to fight this fight she needed to face her fear. Which she did and for the first time in 32 years we all witnesses Laura take her first ever tablet. Once she faced her fear she was fearless and extremely proud! She felt she could do anything.
