Thank you for taking the time..... On Sept 17th & 18th Clares family are organising a 2 day walk Clares Causeway Challenge 2011 in memory of Clare. I have created a special scrapbook with some beautiful pictues to share.

A dear friend of ours who suffers depression took a photograph of the sculptures where Clare had her picture taken with her 2 little girls, Molly & Grace, when she was being interviewed for the article in Local Women. When you look at the sculptures they look like 3 C’s. So we thought Clare loved going for walks on the Causeway Coast. We’ve come up with Clare’s Causeway Challenge 2011 which will be held 17th 18th September for Aware Defeat Depression. We’re in the early stages of organizing this event, but I hope you will support it. Depression shouldn’t be taboo in this day and age, so we want to reach out to as many people as possible touched by Clare and Depression. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clare left behind a letter, which I’m sure you can imagine was so heartbreaking. She said she was tired pretending. She wanted to be the Clare she used to be, the bubbly, smiley, creative girl she was, who was a loving wife and the most brilliant mummy in the world. But she didn’t think this. The illness had gotten the best of her in the end... This little poem is for a lot of us out there who's loved ones lives have been ripped apart because of this silent illness. This illness takes over your thinking..turning your thoughts into negative ones and making you think you are worthless..let me tell you, my sister Clare thought this of herself and it is so not true!! Read this... You may not think that the world needs you, but it does. For you are unique, like no one that has ever been before, or may come after. No one can speak with your voice, say your piece, smile your smile or shine your light. No one can take your place, for it is yours alone to fill. If you are not there to shine your light, who knows how many travellers will lose their way as they try to pass by your empty place in the darkness.
