Today our amazing son rang the bell. 3 years and 3 months after he started his chemo journey due to leukaemia. We are humbled by all involved in Milos care and eternally grateful.

On the pitch, we’re unlikely to be top of the league, but I can definitely imagine Evertonians topping the league of lifesavers.
All you need do is register as a stem cell donor. It’s ridiculously easy, but vitally important 💙

Childhood cancer destroys everything in its path. It can be years after or while in treatment. You lose your sacred sense of security as you feel the Earth is constantly slipping from under you after that initial diagnosis. 💔

This was my amazing son, Milo, at the Southern Enduro event today. The first time he has done something like this. He isn't letting the chemotherapy get the better of him. Over 3 years in with the chemotherapy and 2 months to go.

Please take 15 seconds to see how easy it is to register as a lifesaving blood stem cell donor. 💙
It couldn’t possibly be any easier

Took him 90 seconds to become a potential lifesaving stem cell donor.
Age 16-30 go to @AnthonyNolan.
Age 17-55 go to @DKMS_uk
There can’t be an easier way to give hope to thousands of blood cancer patients who are searching for their perfect match 💙
Please RT RT RT 💙

My daughter is playing Toad in her school production of Wind in the Willows. They took up a collection for the school charity, Great Ormond Street, where Milo's chemotherapy is being coordinated. Very proud Dad! @GOSHCharity @GreatOrmondSt

For every five Children who are diagnosed w/ #cancer only 4 will survive. Sadly, the four that do survive are likely to have serious health issues due to the toxic treatments they received.

When I first started the Employment Advisory Boards I never dreamt it would make such an impact. Well done to all the employers and prisons who have embraced the Boards! Prison 'job centres' and business link-ups help boost ex-offender employment. news.sky.com/story/prison-jo…

There are lots of benefits to the treatment and your local service will be there to support you throughout.
