CEO @ Shine A Light Childhood Cancer Support - supporting children and adults affected by cancer across Cov and Warks. 'Brightening Lives Affected by Cancer'.
To have parents contact us every week saying how hungry they are when in hospital with their child is just so wrong. We are expecting parents to stay overnight with their child in hospital and offer no food or cooking facilities. Only access to expensive shops! It has to change
Thank you @carlalockhart for raising the issue of cancer costs for children and young people at Prime Minister's Questions today. Scrapping the 3 month wait to access benefits is key, something we've also been calling for. We hope @RishiSunak will take action on this #CancerCosts
Many families we work with struggle with costs of transport to hospital.
Please join me and sign Young Lives vs Cancer's petition for a Young Cancer Patient Travel Fund. Let's put a stop to children and young people and their families #RunningOnEmpty https://t.co/v9OVQaf1WE
As we begin another #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, please help to raise awareness and share the need for vital research for #DIPG and #DMG brain cancer by RT'ing our graphic! BECAUSE THEIR LIVES SHOULD BE LONGER #CCAM

Less treatment, or less intense treatment, will reduce the chance of side effects both in the short and long (20+years) term.
We do not come to play just for today - we play for very long and very full lives.

@dontlookdown_FB Louise, that will hit a chord with everyone who sees it - well done for keeping restrained - this has been the tragic story for too many families and I am sure many people will be so grateful to you for being strong enough to voice the story that so many share. Thinking of you x
On Sat 26 March (the day before Ben's 10th birthday) we will be doing anything we can around the number 10.
Run, walk, cycle, scoot, hop 10km / 10 miles / 10 laps, or walk 10k steps and earn yourself this awesome medal and help fund research into #childhoodcancer#covhour /1
We're also looking for any #coventry businesses who would like to help and support us. We're looking for all kinds of support from volunteers to donations to our hampers or fundraising opportunities. Let us know if you're interested #COVHOUR
We've had a great meeting with @trishwilletts about potential premises in the city centre but just wondering if anyone has any recommendations of places to rent #COVHOUR
