Exclusive: Caprice’s Health Scare Inspires Lifestyle Change and Advocacy for Special Cause

Caprice Bourret, the 52-year-old model, actress, and businesswoman, is making headlines as she joins HELLO! for an exclusive interview and photoshoot at Epsom Downs Racecourse. The California-born beauty is showcasing colourful millinery creations ahead of the Epsom Derby, sharing her love for the races and her passion for supporting Brain Tumour Research.

“I actually grew up at the races,” Caprice reveals, reminiscing about her childhood days of instinctively picking winners. However, her luck didn’t carry over into adulthood when she recently tried betting on instincts and failed miserably. Despite this, Caprice’s love for the races remains strong, and she is excited to be part of the Epsom Derby festivities.

As a patron of Brain Tumour Research for the past five years, Caprice is using her platform to raise awareness and funds for the charity. Having undergone neurosurgery in 2017 to remove a benign meningioma from her skull, Caprice understands the importance of finding a cure for this devastating disease. She has not only donated a substantial amount of money but has also tirelessly worked to raise funds and awareness for Brain Tumour Research.

The six show-stopping hats and fascinators Caprice is modeling are part of an exclusive collection of 15 haute couture pieces launched to commemorate Brain Tumour Research’s 15th anniversary. Collaborating with the British Hat Guild and the Jockey Club, the initiative aims to raise vital funds for the charity through an online auction and on-site sales at the Newmarket Rowley Mile Racecourse and the Betfair Derby Festival at Epsom Racecourse.

Caprice’s personal style has evolved over the years, transitioning from trendy to classic. Voted GQ’s Woman of the Year and Maxim’s International Woman of the Year, Caprice now prefers simple lines and classic pieces, emphasizing the timeless elegance of a black dress. Her fashion sense may have changed, but her commitment to raising awareness for brain tumour research remains unwavering.

Reflecting on her health scare seven years ago, Caprice acknowledges the impact it had on her life. Diagnosed with a brain tumour while participating in a celebrity skiing series, she underwent surgery to remove the growth and has since dedicated herself to supporting others affected by similar conditions. Caprice’s resilience and determination to raise awareness and find a cure for brain tumours are truly inspiring.

Balancing her busy life as a businesswoman, actress, and mother of ten-year-old twins, Caprice emphasizes the importance of family time and relaxation. Despite her numerous ventures, her favorite role remains that of a devoted wife and mother, finding empowerment in caring for her loved ones.

As the Carnival of Colour hat auction continues until June 10th, Caprice encourages everyone to support Brain Tumour Research by participating in the auction and spreading awareness about the charity’s important work. With her unwavering dedication and positive outlook on life, Caprice Bourret continues to shine both on and off the racetrack, making a difference in the lives of those affected by brain tumours.
