Supporting Ochre - The Oesophageal Cancer Charity in loving memory of Claire McMillan

Nicola Preiss is raising money for Ochre - The Oesophageal Cancer Charity
In memory of Claire McMillan
OCHRE works to raise awareness of oesophageal cancer, a hard to treat, less survivable cancer. We fund research to support better outcomes. We work with health services and policy makers to improve understanding of the dangers of heartburn and the need for earlier diagnosis which can save lives.

Story

We have created this page in loving memory of Claire, who sadly passed away on 26 January 2026, aged only 51, after fighting oesophageal cancer for almost four years.

Throughout her illness, Claire showed extraordinary determination and bravery. She faced every challenge head-on, never losing her sense of humour or her deep desire to make the most of every moment. Even in the hardest times, she continued to bring light, laughter, and strength to those around her.

This page is a way to honour Claire’s life and the incredible courage she showed, and to support a cause that meant so much to her in the hope that others may be spared a similar journey. Any donation, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and made in her memory, with love and gratitude.

Thank you for remembering Claire and for your kindness and support.

With love and many thanks,

Scott and Cara
