Golden Heart Book

We are authors of the book, Golden Heart, by publisher, @austinmacauley. Our son, Max, fell ill with an enlarged heart in 2016. This book tells his story.

Please @edwardtimpson @theresecoffey @RobertJenrick @DHSCgovuk @AstraZeneca. NO MORE DELAYS. Not providing Evusheld is callous, neglectful and discriminatory. #getevushelddone #evusheldbychristmas

Huge thanks to Max & Keira’s families, to @LittleBrownUK, Aitken Alexander, the @WomensPrize judges, @NHSBT & everyone else who championed this book - I am so grateful to you all ❤️

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Overjoyed to see #TheStoryOfAHeart shortlisted for the @WomensPrize for non-fiction!

An honour to be in the company of these 5 fabulous books.

Max & Keira's story is a tribute to every amazing @NHSOrganDonor team & the astounding altruism on which every transplant depends 🫀💗

@TheShowstoppers There is a power cut on the line. They are stuck. Then some striking tube workers make their way on. They meet different nationalities and becime friends like Come from Away. Its like Circle du Soleil. They bump into the actress playing Celine Dion In Titanique.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Thrilled to see THE STORY OF A HEART selected as one of @TheWeek’s eight books of the year for 2024 🩷🫀🫁

When vaccines blunted their impact, we forgot the fear of the disease, and in our comfort, people began to forget why we needed the vaccines in the first place.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We wish we could eradicate ‘just a’ from NHS vocabulary.

Every single person plays their part, and it couldn’t happen without everyone.

[Peter Hunt @_PeterHunt]

We now know, thanks to @C4Dispatches and ⁦@thetimes⁩, that:

Taxpayers’ money from gov depts and the NHS goes to the Duchy of Lancaster.

It funded the late Queen and now the King.

This private wealth helped settle Andrew’s legal case. https://t.co/rZBWmwwakv

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Apparently the NHS will pay the King’s duchy £11m over 15 years to rent a warehouse for ambulances...it is being charged 67% more than the previous tenants paid.

until the day i die i will never understand how this wasn’t the end of it

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So delighted to see THE STORY OF A HEART picked as a ⁦@Waterstones⁩ book of the year!

@wesstreeting 1.8 MILLION immunocompromised STILL waiting for Covid protection Wes

Entire households - 10 MILLION PEOPLE avoiding work shops etc to protect us/their ❤️ ones

Vaccines don’t protect us -zero antibodies

I mask because 60% of people with Covid don't know they have it at the time. #WearAMask #MaskUp

#DoNoHarm

[Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 @cv_cev]

With #MaskAbuse on the rise, this is difficult reading for people who rely on masks for safety.

Masks should be protected in the law, just as religious clothing is.

If you don't know why, read it with the substitutions in place – as an alternative no one would write!

Huge thank you to @doctor_oxford for joining us at #GoodGriefWeston last night to talk about her work and her wonderful new book 'The Story of a Heart'. Such a rich and moving discussion, I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the house.

[5x15 @5x15stories]

Last week at 5x15, @doctor_oxford shared the moving story of Max and Keira and reflected upon the life-saving gift of organ donation, the subject of her acclaimed new book THE STORY OF A HEART.

Catch up with Dr. Rachel Clarke's wonderful talk here: https://t.co/IJk9mAd68K

[NHS Organ Donation 💗🫀🫁 @NHSOrganDonor]

This #WorldHeartDay 🫀 around 270 people in the UK are waiting for a life-saving heart transplant.

Please take two minutes today to confirm your organ donation decision. https://t.co/hUblqbroCg

[Golden Heart Book @BookHeart]

@amandawhite15 @NHSOrganDonor Aw they used to watch TV together. How is Harry doing?

[Golden Heart Book @BookHeart]

The difference organ donation makes - Max getting progressively worse (scar was from mechanical pump) - and Max - 13 - today. In the UK, 200 children are currently in need of a transplant. This #OrganDonationWeek please talk to your family about #organdonation @NHSOrganDonor
