We are heartbroken to share that Claire O’Shea has passed away. She died today, Monday 12 May, surrounded by her loved ones.
Anyone who had the privilege of meeting Claire will remember her vibrancy, humour, and incredible determination. After receiving her own incurable gynaecological cancer diagnosis following a poor experience, Claire made it her mission to raise awareness and make sure that other women in Wales wouldn’t have to go through the same.
Since launching Claire’s Campaign exactly a year ago, hundreds of women have come forward to share their experiences, and the campaign has driven change at the highest level in government. The impact Claire has had is immeasurable, and we are so proud of everything she achieved. Even in her final days, Claire remained open, courageous, and committed to campaigning for change.
We owe it to Claire to continue this vital work, and we are passionate about keeping her legacy alive through Claire’s Campaign. Thank you to everyone who supported Claire, and to all the women who bravely shared their stories. Together, we will honour Claire’s memory and make sure no one facing gynaecological cancer is left unheard.
