Auction to raise funds to help brave Clara

SIGNED ARGYLE SHIRT AND JEWELS AMONG SALE ITEMS

- WILLIAM TELFORD

DOZENS of Plymouth businesses have donated valuable gifts for an auction to help a three-year-old girl paralysed by a tumour on her spine.

Clara’s Charity Auction will take place on Saturday, November 16, to raise cash for Clara Gilley who has been in hospital for more than six months now and will need to live in a specially adapted house when she is finally well enough to leave.

The auction is being organised by Clara’s uncle Simon Gilley, at the London Inn pub he runs in Plympton, from 7.30pm. He has already received a huge array of items to go under the hammer – but is appealing for even more.

Anyone who wants to bid can do so at the event or by emailing the maximum bid they are making for an item prior to the auction. People should email: londoninnplympton@gmail. com.
