Story

Wednesday 23rd May 2018 was the most gut wrenching day of my life when I was told Clare had passed away while on a cruise with her mum in Spain.

The pain those words inflicted on Clare's family, friends and myself is indescribable. However everyone I have spoken to since that fateful day has told me how privileged they feel to have known Clare.

This is because Clare was undoubtedly the most beautiful person, both inside and out. Her thoughtfulness for others simply knew no bounds. And without ever truly realising it herself, she definitely inspired people to the best they could be.

Regardless of whatever treatment, operation and in some cases medical contraption that was bolted to her head, Clare always gave the Thumbs Up along with a look from those beautiful smiling eyes. There are a few examples in the photos below.

In memory of Clare's wonderful life I will be walking 108 kilometres from her home in Inglesham, Wiltshire to Walmley Golf Club in Sutton Coldfield. I will leave at 8am on Tuesday 11th September with the intention of arriving 24 hours later on Wednesday 12th September ready to tee off in the BUNGS Captain's Trophy.

I am honoured to be the Captain this year of the Barton-under-Needwood Golf Society aka BUNGS, so this day has taken on far greater significance than I ever realised it would. Clare and I agreed the society's chosen charity for this year would be Breast Cancer Care.

Based on everything that has happened and the simply incredible care we received I am hoping to raise £3,000 for them.

Thanks
