Children’s hospice, Claire House, has launched its Christmas campaign to raise funding for the charity
Claire House has been the “lifeline” for many families across Merseyside since it opened in 1998. Founders, Chris and Bobby Cain, from Wallasey , opened the hospice in memory of their daughter Claire, who suddenly became seriously ill while the couple were expecting their fourth child. Claire was diagnosed as having a malignant tumour behind her nose and eye and the regular hospital visits meant the family couldn’t all stay together. Claire died in July 1989, aged nine.
It’s not just for Sophia and her condition, they ease my anxiety and support us with anything that we’re struggling with.” These families have all taken part in this year's Claire House Christmas campaign to raise awareness of the children's hospice and how it's a life line for hundreds of families across Merseyside.
