8 June 1937 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Ludwig Wijnhausen, was born in Heerlen.
In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and, after selection, murdered in a gas chamber.
Time to reflect: I’ve lost friends and family and the version of life I once knew. But not myself. Cancer holds up a brutal mirror to relationships as not everyone can cope with watching someone fight for their life every day or even comprehend it. Some people become anchors and others become absences. Thank you to everyone who supports me, it is hugely appreciated 🙂
Current look at Boston Legacy's performance facilities
Team is in Phase 1 of construction, which will include:
-30,000 sqft center
-Full size grass field
-Half size grass field
-Full size turf field + bubble dome
Expected to be done by end of year (dome will be done next Jan)
First floor of the Brockton performance center will include weight room, locker room, medical, full-service kitchen, player lounge.
Second floor will be team offices, community room, equipment storage.
We don’t know where the landmines are buried, but we can’t stay at home 24/7 waiting for the world to become safe. Living with cancer means stepping out into uncertainty every day, planning where we can, adapting when we must, and hoping the ground holds.
31 May 1939 | Dutch Jewish girl, Sara Channah Jacobsen, was born in Rotterdam.
She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in August 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
When the Netherlands team visited a hospital with sick children, Noah Ohio saw one kid who’s favourite player was Jude Bellingham. 🇳🇱🏴
So he rang Bellingham and this happened. ❤️🧡
MLS have new numbers out today on their Apple TV and broader broadcasting reach; they are reporting 7.9 million total 'live match viewers' over a weekend. That's a 62% increase Year on Year per the league. Seth Bacon, EVP Media for MLS, talks about it on this week's Soccer Business podcast.
What are you going to bring to this day?
Excuses or effort?
Groans or grit?
Drift or direction?
Bitterness or backbone?
Withdrawal or willingness?
You do not have to conquer the world today, just bring a smile and a positive perspective.
My love of the countryside keeps me going. William Shakespeare said it better:
"This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise... This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England."

What do you do when you are thirsty? You have a drink, unless you are nil by mouth. Today is the hottest May day on record in the UK, but when you cannot swallow, hydration becomes a logistical exercise instead of a basic human reflex. I cannot just grab a bottle of water or sit in a café and cool down. Every drop of fluid has to be syringed directly into my stomach through a tube and believe me, that is not easy when you are out and about. You need clean hands, clean equipment, time and privacy - somewhere dignified to stop and hydrate without feeling like a medical procedure has hijacked your day in public...and to avoid people staring! People see the sunshine. They do not see the calculations behind survival.
Hot weather for most people means inconvenience but for us nil by mouthers, it can become dangerous very quickly. The reality of head and neck cancer is that even something as basic as quenching thirst is no longer simple.
On this day in 1928, a Czech Jewish girl was born. On the 10 Jun 1942 she was deported to Ujazdow labour camp with her parents. They all perished in the Shoah. Her name was Helena Klingerová
