A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

@NiallHarbison Niall Everything you said is so true. Lost my gorgeous boy 19 years ago and I have questioned my decision to put him to sleep. Beaten myself up if I did the right thing. In my head I know I did and yes both me and hubby where there right to the end.

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

@NiallHarbison Niall complete respect to you and the team for everything you do. Big T received care, love, dignity, a chance and when the time came he left with a belly full of chicken and steak. RIP big paws

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

@NiallHarbison Beautiful Kerry. A golden ticket at happy Doggo where you were cared for, loved and didn’t have to struggle. Travel safe with a tummy full of chicken and a heart full of the care shown to you. Happy Doggo team thank you and respect for a you so

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

@NiallHarbison Happy weekend to you a at Happy Doggo

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

@NiallHarbison Just love this. Amazing work building her trust

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

Don’t buy tickets. Don’t pay to ride when you’re on holiday. Do not visit circus’s because all you are doing is funding cruelty

⛏️ The Reality Of Elephant ‘Tourism’ ⛏️

Stabbed with a concealed nail, a tug on the fish hook digging into the Elephant’s sensitive ear.

THIS is how Elephants are forced to perform at #FestivalsOfElephantAbuse! 😡

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

Please don't touch, don’t bathe and don’t ride Elephants.

Elephants, which are used for riding activities, circus performances, religious ceremonies or for swimming and taking photos with tourists, usually go through a cruel process of submission.

Already at an early age, they are separated from their mothers, bound and abused until their resistance is broken.

BUT TOURISTS HAVE A CHOICE!

Shame on the people who brought tickets and sit and watch this. You are funding animal cruelty

Congratulations Sharon! We hope you had a lovely day 💙

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

@NiallHarbison You did it Niall and Tina is with you every step while the HappyDoggo team look after the dogs 💕💕👏👏

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

@NiallHarbison I did wonder if Chance had been attacked due to where the wound was. How can anyone be so cruel.

[Amy Hardy-Wallace @AHardyWallace]

@drjasondungu @Cardiomyopathy Thank you @drjasondungu @savodoc @Cardiomyopathy for allowing me the platform to discuss such an important subject #genetictesting. The event was superbly run and organised and created a get opportunity to network and share clinical experience 🙌🏻

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

Definitely. We have allowed several pets into my ward.

[Best in Dogs @BestinDogs]

do you think pets should be allowed in the hospital room to be with their dying loved one?

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

This riding harness has been on her for 20 years. The mahout was asked to take it off, so the rescuer see that moment. She will never know another chain!

She's on her way to Boon
Lott's Elephant Sanctuary where they will take good care of her.

[Lorna Coyle @LornaCoyle2]

This is such a massive step forward. Well done to everyone. Hoping this will be something offered to avoid either very painful procedures or having only GA as an option

Our first hysteroscopy list under sedation has been successfully performed today at @MFTnhs
Our patients are very happy and so are we!
This is the result of listening to women and validating their experiences
