Claire Louise Allan sadly lost her battle to cervical cancer on 17th August 2009 aged just 23 years, leaving behind 2 little girls then aged 5 and 18 months! In 2004 the goverment decided to change the age of cervical smears to 25 from 20, if Claire had been given that all important smear at 20 she would still be here today. It was always Claire's wish to do something about this, she laways intended to do something herself, ''when i'm better mum'' she used to say. Sadly she never got the chance, when Claire found out she was dying she asked me to do this for her. So this is what i am doing, we have already put one petition into Downing Street, which of course has been ignored. So here we go again!! I will never give up intill i get what my gorgeous amazing brave daughter wanted. So please join us and help us to win please sign this petition and forward it to all your family and friends. Thank you so much for your support. Michele (Claire's mum)

So sorry for your loss. No one should have to lose their mum that young. Lower the age.

This is so tragic. 25 is way too old to start screening. It should be 20 for everyone without question.

Ridiculous that they changed it. My sister got hers done at 21 and they found cells. If she had to wait until 25 she would be gone too. Change it back now!!
