I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.
I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.
My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.
I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.
I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.
Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.

Little bit of artist appreciation, got this amazing print from @Zacrosso_art of one of my favourite Edinburgh pubs!
Now sits proudly alongside my other favourite artists @JacktonArt@phoneboxartist@clarabundahq (still need to sort out a frame).
Check them all out!
Thrilled to have Mia along from the @MNDoddie5 to talk about Motor Neuron Disease and the work the Foundation is doing to help find new treatments and hopefully a cure.
We are excited for our next Sportsman's Dinner which will have the Foundation as one the main beneficiaries.
WE DID IT!
Thanks to a few very generous donations we have now surpassed £1,000! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far it will go such a long way to helping find a cure for this terrible disease.
Still plenty of time to donate if able: https://t.co/GHXak7WGJI
