Help keep the smile on Clarice's face as she seeks treatment for her cancer

Clarice is known by friends and family for her warmth and wholehearted generosity that is available to everyone she meets. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer over 12 years ago, she responded with a holistic approach, and has undertaken a wide range of therapies and treatments. She has put her cancer into remission twice; she has always sought a healthy way of living and has a deep love and care for all of humanity.

Clarice’s cancer has returned and is now in the soft tissue in her neck. She has just had surgery to make space in her trachea to help with breathing and eating as the cancer is tight and putting pressure around her neck and throat. It has made smiling difficult for her. Clarice will be receiving chemotherapy over the next few weeks to ease the symptoms. She is asking for donations to help with the cost of treatments and natural therapies.

Clarice is a well-respected nutritionist, and until she was hospitalised was working. Her husband, Ross is supporting her closely and to deal with the additional costs of treatment and care for her, they are seeking donations. Any donations are wholly appreciated.

Clarice’s family hope to join her from overseas in Christchurch in the next few months; to spend some time with her. Clarice has a beauty that she gives so freely; in her smile, a love of nature, good food, music and dancing. While the surgery on her throat has made speaking difficult, she is very thankful for any support.

Thank you from her loved ones.
