My father died from Parkinson’s in 2019. He was an avid reader & an amateur novelist & this gave him much delight. My brother has since published his novel on Amazon with all proceeds going to @ParkinsonsUK . If you’re a fan of racing this is one for you! amazon.co.uk/Will-Win-Graham…

Today @YLvsCancer everyone in the charity is given the gift of a well-being and development day. It’s such a fab idea where the focus of the day is the individual . So for my well-being it’s all about the running and for my development a dummy’s guide to system thinking! ❤️

Children and young people with cancer need to be prioritised by the new UK Government. With our friends at @CCLG_UK, alongside leading charities, we’ve written an open letter to the new Prime Minister asking him to do just that. Join us and add your name bit.ly/4cYruPE

The results are in, and lots has changed. But we're still clear: the new UK Government must prioritise children and young people with cancer. Congratulations to all MPs elected and @Keir_Starmer on entering No10. We're ready to work with you to deliver for young cancer patients

I can’t believe this was 7 years ago. It has taken on a new meaning to me since having kids. Sooo funny and sooo relatable now. @turner_jenny I can just see mine wandering into a SGLT like this 😂 or even worse an Exec meeting! 🤦‍♀️

My new ‘work’ book by @AnnieDuke . I know I find uncertainty uncomfortable so hoping this book provides some great tools to improve the way @YLvsCancer PMO team approach our project and planning work …watch the space

First day back in the @YLvsCancer office & what started as a general catch up about books we recently read turned into a convo about gender, race & immigration - so grateful to work in a team where we’re not afraid to talk about DEIB issues. @KeiRettaFarrell led the way for us

One of the reasons they are banning antiracist history books is because they don’t want people to learn how they constructed racism. Because the more we learn how they constructed racism, the more we learn how to deconstruct it and build equitable and just and democratic societies for all people. The more we build equitable and just and democratic societies, the more people of color resist their racist efforts to take us back and the more White people join in that antiracist resistance because they realize equitable and just and democratic societies benefit them more than a deeply unequal society ruled by fear-mongering fascists and tyrants spreading bigotry of all kinds to divide and conquer us.
