From hospital bed to grandstand 👑 …Having to dodge the fresh horse manure as we walked down the Mall really brought home how far we’ve come 😌 #troopingthecolour #transplantjourney

A year on from opening up at the start of this journey, and whilst we're now waiting to see if the new bone marrow is working, the cake’s still going strong.
My bone marrow might’ve failed me, but cake never will. After 3 weeks in hospital, the doctors have now confirmed my bone marrow’s failed. It’s been a long and tiring journey to get here but we can go forward. Thank you for all the messages, calls and cards. It means a lot 🤍

Alex Kershaw’s D-Day coverage has begun. Every year it is utterly exceptional. Do ‘Follow’ him and keep up-to-date with his posts:

I SEARCHED AND I FOUND THE HERO INSIDE MYSELF 🤍 🕺 Throughout the past year’s highs and the lows music was always there. My anthems. Keeping me going - giving me hope. Thank you @MPeopleHeatherS & @mightyhoopla for reminding me one more time I’m still here - AND I’M ALIVE🤍

Remember, stem cell donation can save lives - it’s saved mine. So, please as always, check out @AnthonyNolan and @DKMS_uk for more information on how a mouth swab can save someone like me🤍

ONE LAST MOUNTAIN ⛰️ 💪 This weekend marked a year since I was first rushed to hospital, and you know the rest. So I thought - what better way to mark all the mountains I’ve climbed than hiking an, albeit small, actual one and leave a memento to the past 12 months at the top?

This is me on my lunchtime 5-miler a year ago today. I could never have even contemplated how the blood tests I'd gone for an hour before would mean it'd be the last time I'd run for seven months let alone the last time outside before complete hospital isolation for four months.

So, three things lovely people: 1. Join a stem cell register and save a life! (see @AnthonyNolan & @DKMS_uk) 2. If something doesn’t feel right - get it checked, no matter how minor it seems. 3. Live each day as if you don’t know what tomorrow will bring, or if it’ll even come 🤍

Today’s Hackney Half booking system seemed a lot less stressful than yesterday’s? 😅 See you then @hoka, @HackneyMoves! What’s more I’ll be a year-and-a-half post-transplant. LM26 was all about proving I was still here, now I’m showing what I can do. #FromTransplantToTriumph
