One of my best friends, Alex who is 23 years old and his family have set up a @JustGiving page to help raise money to help him access the best treatments available to him.
I was living with him at the time when he fell unwell in May so took him to hospital with another one of our friends.
We were all shocked to find out that he had cancer, which was later diagnosed as a stage 4 glioma.
Despite the standard NHS treatment, it was discovered on New Year’s Eve that there was some further growth.
This has made the need for additional funds even more important, so if you could take a moment to access the link provided, read Alex’s story that would be massively appreciated.
The fundraiser has already raised over £50,000 which is amazing, however, the costs of private treatment, travel and insurance have been quoted to be £200,000 to his family.
I know January is a tough time for everyone, financially, if you can donate that would be amazing, but sharing this with as many people as possible is just as important.
Here is the link to read more about it. Thank you🙏

Next Saturday during our last ever fixture v Arsenal at Goodison Park we are asking all fans to stand up in the 9th minute and sing “Super Kevin Campbell”
It would be great for the fans of the 2 clubs he loved the most to pay tribute to him in our final season at our ground, where he became an instant hero 💙
Jeremy Corbyn basically said “Let’s just treat people a little better and not make life so difficult for everyone, at the expense of the rich being slightly less rich,” and the subsequent political smear campaign reached levels never before seen in the West. This is who they are.
Israeli occupation troops in Gaza found a Jewish cemetery for soldiers killed in WW1, maintained in pristine condition in the "Hamas-run Gaza". And they proudly posted photo-ops in front of it without even realizing it undermines their main propaganda about Hamas
The Prime Minister should make a statement to Parliament, immediately, to confirm whether UK missiles have been fired into Russia.
He must tell the British public if this means we are now at war with a nuclear power, what risk this poses to people in Britain, and why this action was taken without any approval from Parliament.
I have consistently condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and called for a diplomatic solution to stop the endless bloodshed.
As we edge closer and closer to catastrophe, we should be doing everything in our power to bring about de-escalation and peace. Instead, our political leaders have added fuel to the fire and gambled with people’s lives for political gain.
Presidents and Prime Ministers must know that in the event of nuclear war, nobody wins.
I’m not interested in bombs. I’m interested in peace – and I will continue to campaign for peace in Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, the DRC and beyond.
Something extraordinary about Israelil culture. Whatever people think of Sinwar, he died the death of a Hollywood hero. The last man standing, alone amongst his dead comrades, covered with dust, barely alive, against overwhelming odds, using his one remaining arm to throw the closest weapon he could reach towards the mindless drone operated by a coward hiding behind the machine. It's like 'Terminator' but real. And the Israelis think they humiliate Sinwar and Palestinian resistance by making this public. There's something deeply wrong with Israeli society
A video shows an Israeli soldier shooting a Palestinian child while children were running away from them in the town of Biddu, northwest of Jerusalem, yesterday morning.
🚨Israeli journalist Gideon Levy at the Oxford Union several years ago:
‘There is no Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There is a brutal Israeli occupation which must come to its end, one way or the other.’
It’s an occupation, not a conflict
