Today, on the first day of the fishing season, The Claire House Club Challenge is paying for a full days care at Claire House Children’s Hospice in memory of Ellie Cook.
Ellie was introduced to Claire House after she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Ellie loved spending time here with her parents and sister, playing in our hydro pool or enjoying parties in the garden. She passed away on 26th September 2011. She was seven years old.
Colin Cook, his family and all of the Claire House Club Challenge team would like to thank everyone who has kindly supported the Challenge since it began in 2012.
Over £16,000 was raised from last year’s competition, from the generosity of the anglers, their families and friends, local fisheries and local businesses.
Colin said “Ellie spent many special days at Claire House in the 18 months before she died, days full of fun and laughter. As a family we have precious memories of the time we spent together. By fundraising with the support of family and friends, we are helping to ensure that other families get to make memories with their children”.
Claire House would like to thank Colin, his family and friends for their tireless fundraising and continued support.
