Join fundraising events to help Worksop mum Claire in her 'fight for life'
Friends and groups of a Worksop woman stricken with cancer have organised new events to help with her 'fight against time' appeal.
To raise vital cash towards a potential £120,000 treatment for mum-of-two Claire Creighton, there will be a Charity Quiz Night in Worksop on Saturday, August 1.
Whether you're a quiz enthusiast or just wanting a great night out, this event is for everyone. Expect challenging questions, good company, and plenty of community spirit as people come together in support of Claire.
There will be the chance to win exceptional prizes, with a 7pm start at Manton Sports Entertainment.
Tickets are £10 per person via the following link:
Later in the month, on August 21, Worksop Town FC will host a Psychic Night to help raise money for ‘Support My Fight For Time - Claire Creighton’ at their home ground.
Tickets are £15. If you wish to go, please contact Zoe at 07487 536953 or email [email protected]m
A charity football day held by the club has already raised a huge £852, and Worksop Boys and Girls Club teamed up with Your Training Partner and The Inflatable Runner for a fundraising run or walk at Vicar Walk Country Park last weekend, to support Claire.
Organisers said: "Every step we take and every pound we raise helps give hope and support during an unimaginably difficult journey."
Claire, 40, has a terminal cancer diagnosis and needs to raise £120,000 for a 'last hope' treatment abroad.
There are no more treatments available to her in this country, following the metastatisation of her melanoma to organs including her lungs and liver.
The Christie Centre in Manchester, where Claire is currently undergoing immunotherapy trials, has found as an option an immunotherapy known as tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) that is not available here on the NHS but is offered privately at a hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel.
In desperation, Claire launched her own fundraiser to raise the cash that could buy her time, alongside that of husband Dan, 39, who is undertaking six gruelling challenges to support his wife.
