MRC Memorial Page
On the 28th of March 2020 our amazing friend Claire lost her two year battle with leukaemia. She was such a big part of the MRC and the larger rat world in general and we know that Claire and her Black Lupin rats will be hugely missed by so many. Claire put her heart and soul into her rats and the MRC. She was on the committee for over 10 years as the longest standing member with no breaks! She was the first winner of the MRC Quality Breeder Award and we will miss having to help her drag home armfuls of her rosettes after every show As a brilliant breeder with amazing show winning rats, she was always ready to share her ratty knowledge and to help people with their questions or rat based problems. She truly is a massive loss to the community. Rat shows were the cornerstone of her social life and where we actually all met in the first place. On a more personal note, Claire was one of our closest friends and I'm not sure we'll ever fill the hole she’s left. She was kind, funny, supportive and one of the most modest people we know so she'd probably hate the fact you’re all reading about her now. We have had lots of adventures over the years of our friendship and we are devastated that there will be no more holidays, shopping trips or crazy nights out.️ We have set up a fundraising page in Claire's name in support of DKMS to help fight blood cancer.
