If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.
Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚
For You. For Grace. For Ian.
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.”

Think about this. 16-year-old children are dumped in bedsits, shared accommodation, and hotels with no support whatsoever, and this government thinks it's OK. When I speak to these young people, the fear in their eyes is something you never forget. Grown men banging on your door at 2am, drug gangs parked up waiting to pounce and force you into criminal activity. For these kids, there's no luxury breakaway to university or that dream career. It results in a lifetime of misery. And It's a certain area of care totally ignored. Children, just children. I survived my ordeal, and I personally do not want to see any more children suffer because of social neglect. #changeiscoming, and that's why I'm campaigning to make care experience a protected characteristic. Please think about this when your MP comes knocking begging for your vote. Tell them to back this motion. Children in care are still children.
