We were asked just before Christmas 2008 if we could help a charity that are campaigning for new laws and regulations regarding cervical cancer.

In October 2008 a young lady called Claire Walker-Everett from Washington Tyne and Wear, passed away with cervical cancer. She left behind a 2 yr old son and her husband Colin, who has now dedicated himself to changing the laws which would have saved her life.

Cervical smear tests are now only carried out on 25yr old girl's and over, but as Claire was below this age, she was never diagnosed with the cancer. If the age limit was 18, as it is in most other countries in Europe, she would have been diagnosed and probably cured before it became a problem.

 

Colin is now running a huge campaign which has been referred to in the house of lords, had a channel 4 documentary made, and had hundreds of Press releases in all major newspapers and magazines.

We produced a website that we thought would work best for what he needed, which was to show Claire as a person and a way for anybody wanting to support Colin with a petition form that will be printed off and included in the full petition that will be given to the Government.
