After talking about it for a long time, a group of us signed up for The Edinburgh Moonwalk in June 2018 to celebrate our friend Linda surviving breast cancer twice & my 40th birthday.

I didn’t expect to be given the same diagnosis at just 39, fit and healthy, but I have. I have proudly worked for the NHS for over 20 years but have never been so proud the last few weeks at the care, expertise, treatment and compassion I have been shown. Equally, I have never felt so lucky to have such fantastic friends, family and colleagues who have been incredibly supportive and positive with me every step of the way.

So, please no sympathies, but if you can spare a few coins I’m determined to do a few different events over the next few months (some already planned, some not) and will have baking, dog treats and other fundraising events and would love your support.

Finally, boys and girls - get checking your bits. Love Clayre xx
