Laura Cherry - Very ill, please help if you can.

I've created an album of her images here

http://purpleport.com/portfolio-image-album.asp?id=18562

This is so sad, I know the subject of ticks has been aired previously but It can't be done to much.

Are you in touch with laura? as personal details of how her illness came about, and details of the consequences, would be of benefit for both the safety and health of photographers and models who shoot outdoors.

This would be helpful and a wake up call to all of us.

part of pension sent as a donation.

Thankyou for the link, I have shared it on Facebook. I can't afford to donate right now due to paying debts from my student days but the least I can do i spread the word :) x

It is indeed sad when someone has to fund-raise for their own treatment. Well, we look after our own here at PP don't we?

I ran a successful mini-project a few weeks ago, donations for love - see the original post here.

So - something different, and I know you'll all make it happen. 100 comments on any of my images between now and midnight, and I'll add £100 to her cause as soon as we reach target.

Anyone else who is able to donate, let me know and I'll come over and give you serious love ;-) (on your images!)

Aw what a sweetheart :P Comments coming your way ;)

Laura is a lovely girl.  She travelled all the way from London to shoot with me yonks ago and she blew me away with her effervescence.

Your images of her Simon are amongst my favourites on PP.

She is certainly fighting not only the disease but much of the medical establishment who refuse to acknowledge it is more than a psychiatric condition.

I cant donate at the moment but will do when times are better.

Nice one Andy Leates

Thanks FBW - really love your image of her too!.

Up to 23 comments. Blimey, giving away money has never been so hard!

What a tragedy for someone so talented and so young.

Done and done! Wish I could donate at the moment, but my charity money went on women's aid last week and I'm trying to afford my own treatment ATM :-( 

You're a lovely man Andy!
