Campaign Day Video

Ever wondered what happens on Claire's Wish campaign days?

Every so often we set up a stall in Newcastle-Under-Lyme market in Staffordshire.
Family and friends help to collect signatures for the petition and raise awareness of cervical cancer in young women.

The support is fantastic and at times we've managed to collect more than 1000 signatures in a single day!
