Huge congratulations to Jo Mylles on the announcement of her retirement. @CHSGheadteacher has been inspirational & now the school & community need another brilliant leader for our fabulous school. Message Adrian via @JeffoA28 for a chat. A wonderful opportunity. Go to @mynewterm

@ellielexx So sorry 😞 🙏

[Finnley Neely-Hayes @Finnleyswarrior]

9th April 2017. Finn stopped breathing. One of his swollen lymph nodes pressed on his wind pipe. The intensive care team came to see us to say they had a bed ready for Finn. One of the scariest days of the journey. Any-k-a-day 2024 - please help 🙏

Happy 11th Birthday big man, we miss you so much 💚 Finnley was talking about you lots today 💙... always in our 💝

[Finnley Neely-Hayes @Finnleyswarrior]

Today was the first time that this didn't feel like "normal" for us. Today our hearts broke for those parents and children who are going about their "new norm"
Finnley you did us so proud today, we know how nervous & anxious you were! We are forever grateful and proud 🙏🏼

[Finnley Neely-Hayes @Finnleyswarrior]

No child should die from cancer.
No child should ask the question "why didn't I die from cancer"
Our hearts broke more than ever today for the multiple children & parents we saw who were going about their daily routine. 💔

[Chiltern Learning Trust - Bedfordshire @ChilternLT]

11/05/17 = Diagnosis day

5 years ago today, our lives changed forever. We entered a new norm, grew a new family of friends, & began the biggest fight we ever imagined. NOTHING at all can prepare you 4 these words, nor can we truly explain the actual pain we felt hearing this.

[Finnley Neely-Hayes @Finnleyswarrior]

Great turn out for our first Warrior 6 💪

Well done to all the kids on foot or wheels - it was a chilly start but we soon warmed up 🤪

We ran today in memory of Aktar, the Luton Lion, the warrior 🦁 please donate to the link below, if you can 🙏

🙏🙏

[Finnley Neely-Hayes @Finnleyswarrior]

For those who can't make the MK venue. Please run and raise awareness tomorrow in memory of a true Warrior and a Luton Lion 🦁 🙏

[Finnley Neely-Hayes @Finnleyswarrior]

Tomorrow is the first Warrior 6 Park run. Many know the heartbreaking news that a fellow warrior, Aktar, sadly passed away after a diagnosis of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. It is hard to comprehend that such a kind gentleman died from the disease that he ran & raised so much money 4

[Finnley Neely-Hayes @Finnleyswarrior]

Please can all sponsorship money for this run go to the campaign set up in Aktar's memory

Tomorrow's run info:

Meet @ 8.45am @splash park car park. Wear a CWCUK vest/t-shirt if you have one.Most of us will be at the back with kids biking/scooting 👌
