Claire House Children’s Hospice helps seriously & terminally ill children live life to the full, creating wonderful memories & bringing back a sense of normality to family life. Through specialist nursing & emotional support Claire House helps families smile when life couldn’t get any tougher.

Story

In November 2013 I lost my beautiful daughter Emily very suddenly to viral bronchiolitis.  She was just 21 months old and has left a huge void in our lives which is very difficult to put in to words.

She was an amazing little girl and in her short life has left a huge legacy and enabled me and my family to gain the inspiration to help others.

Claire House have been a big part of my life since Emily's passing and I'm truly honoured to be given the opportunity to raise more much needed funding to enable them to continue their incredible work.  Based on the hospice needing £6,500 per day to exist, it's a great feeling to be a part of their success.

Thank you. x
