For 10 months, I slept and sat next to Hugh in a hospital bed, whilst he had treatment for cancer. I saw other parents doing the same, knowing that every day spent in the hospital was a day they couldn’t earn money to support their sick child. That’s why I’m so passionate about

We are proud to be part of the Sophie's Legacy initiative providing meals to parents staying with their child in hospital. Parents aren’t always able to leave their child’s bedside to buy food. This scheme is making the world of difference to them 💙 ow.ly/LwR650SXKnI

Interview I did today.....

Emmerdale 1of3: Getting back to the important storyline!: Dawn said (on Thursday 22nd August) “It’s his (Evan’s) second round of chemo today. He’s only just got over his first.” …& at the hospital: “He’s been a different baby over the last few weeks hasn't he - smiling, laughing.”…

Emmerdale 2of3: From what Dawn is saying on the programme, it sounds as if Emmerdale are portraying Evan’s leukaemia chemotherapy treatment as having breaks of as long as “a few weeks” between the rounds of chemotherapy!…

Emmerdale 3of3: In real life Infant Leukaemia (ALL) treatment this is just NOT TRUE!! The breaks between chemo rounds are really a lot less than “a few weeks”! ...and each chemo round really lasts for WEEKS, or even a MONTH or more – not just for one day, as Dawn seemed to imply.

I've just emailed my MP asking them to champion the needs of children with cancer for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Because children facing cancer and their families deserve better. Join me and Young Lives vs Cancer and email your MP too #CCAM bit.ly/3Mmy8DY

I look forward to meeting with Wes Streeting MP to move this forward. It's about time changes were made and the taskforce can provide this. Thanks to Caroline Dinenage MP for continuing pursuing this with me. #sophieslegacy

For anyone who doesn’t actually know, last year Children with Cancer UK proudly announced a 5-year partnership with the national charity Beads of Courage UK. 👇👇👇👇 beadsofcourageuk.org/how-can-you-he… childrenwithcancer.org.uk/stories/beads-…

The history of Be Child Cancer Aware (BCCA) & Beads of Courage UK from 2010 BCCA was created to increase awareness of all childhood cancers, after hearing repeatedly about families getting needlessly slow diagnoses… (& sadly, we still still do!) 👇👇👇👇 beadsofcourageuk.org/about-us
