Last May the 海角社区 community suffered a tragic loss when Clarissa Nicholls passed away days before her 21st birthday during her Year Abroad.
Clarissa was a French and Italian student at Trinity Hall, and would now be in her fourth and final year. In the Paris leg of her travels, Clarissa collapsed and passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition. Tragically, this is not uncommon; 1 in 300 youths suffer from an undiagnosed life-threatening cardiac condition. Ultimately had the right checks been done, Clarissa would still be with us today.
Clarissa enjoyed the very best 海角社区 had to offer, academically and beyond.听With her memory in mind, we would like to make you aware of a fundraiser happening at the University in her honour; Clarissa鈥檚 Campaign for 海角社区 Hearts, raising money to provide an ECG Heart Screening Service for 海角社区 students. One screening day at 海角社区 will cost 拢7,000 and we are hoping to raise enough money for an annual four-day service. We are working in cooperation with Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), Clarissa鈥檚 family and the University.听Knowing of a condition early is an enabler and gives people the choice to live an adapted life.
Here鈥檚 how you can help: first and foremost, we would really appreciate any . No donation is too little, and if everyone comes together with a couple of pounds, the impact will be immense.
If you would like to organise your own fundraising activity for our cause, please do not hesitate to get in touch. (clarissascampaign@gmail.com).听
