Fundraiser event in Helston to raise money for a Cornish hospice

Clair decided to organise this event with her friend whilst she was in hospital receiving treatment for bowel cancer. She wanted to raise money for St Julia’s hospice for the care she and her family received while she was there.

Clair lost her battle with the disease in September surrounded by her family at the age of 48. After her death, tributes poured in for her.

Lisa Marie Torbett and the staff at Minnie’s Hair Studio, who knew Clair well and performed Brave the Shave on her last November, described her as a “truly incredible, inspiring woman to know”, while Your Voice Cornwall said: “It’s such a cliche to say someone is ‘brave’ and ‘inspirational’ but honestly, she really and truly was. She was the kindest soul you could ever have met.”

So, as Clair wanted, a fundraising event will take place on November 4. It will be an optional dress-up of all things glamorous and glitzy. There will be music courtesy of DJ Cornwall. Tickets will be £5 per person and are available at Bradley’s Estate Agents, Minnie’s Hair Studio, Culdrose Community Centre, and the Godolphin Club.
