Clare’s Angels Sip and Graze

-

Clare’s Angels was formed in 2012 by a group of friends after Clare Diffey was diagnosed with a rare neurologic­al regressive disorder called Rett Syndrome at 18 months old. Rett Syndrome affects one in 9000 girls, with boys more rarely affected. The clinical diagnosis has often been uncertain in early childhood as the symptoms may be confused with those occurring in other disorders such as autism, cerebral palsy and non-specific global developmen­tal delay.

With further research the syndrome is now often confirmed with genetic testing. From 2012 Clare’s Angels have raised money for notfor-profit organisati­ons benefittin­g children with special needs and disabiliti­es, and Rett Syndrome research.

As a special honour what would have been Clare’s 15th birthday –

March 16, 2024 – Clare’s Angels are hosting an afternoon of food and fun as a fundraiser. The event will be held at Bobby’s Lane Estate from midday to 6pm.

The line-up for the event is impressive, with food provided by Modern Foodie of Narromine, and entertainm­ent by Bec Lavelle, a recognised Australian artist and the voice of Mcleod’s Daughters.

There will be the opportunit­y to win exciting prizes on the day, including an overnight stay for two adults at a Taronga Western Plains Zoo’s unique luxury lodge, behind-the-scenes tours, an African-inspired dinner and breakfast, two-day admission, and bike hire, adding an extra layer of excitement and incentive for guests to contribute.

The support from local artists Laura Holland and Hayden Wood, showcasing their works, is a fantastic addition to the event, offering a unique opportunit­y for guests to engage with beautiful art and amazing artists while supporting a great cause. Tickets are available from:
