Victory Vixens

I am really privaledged to be working with Victory Vixens in my capacity of a fashion stylist which has been set up by Lucy of Hummingbird Vintage


Victory Vixens is a ‘one stop shop’ for all women cancer needs and wants. This is a very close charity to my heart as my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago, we supported her as a family during her treatment and all I can say is 'bloody hell' was she a fighter. After each of her radiotherapy treatments on a Friday I would take her to lunch at our local John Lewis with my then 6 month old twins. She remains my inspiration and my best friend and the best babysitter!!!!

What they have found though is that there is not a resource for women going through cancer treatment that has all the answers to the questions and queries that arise…such as how to stop your nails splitting, where to buy the best (and most affordable wigs), what you should be eating, how to banish dry ‘chemo’ skin, how to apply false eyelashes, where to buy special undies, what to expect your sex life to be like, where to find local supports group and about a million other things women should be able to find out easily.

We have partnered up with doctors, psychiatrists, nutritionists, fashion stylists, hairdressers and make-up artists in order to allow women to look good and feel great whilst winning the war over cancer.

This is going to be a nationwide resource including workshops, seminars, fashion events and social events so it is a great cause that encompasses all forms of cancer.
  
We are trying to get PR to raise the profile, TV, Glossies etc......( fingers crossed ) and a celebrity to champion the course also.

If you are interested in helping us on our quest please email victoryvixens@gmail.com 

Lots of love

Lisa
