Today I held a long-awaited debate on Childhood Cancer Outcomes in @HouseofCommons. I asked the Government for a Childhood Cancer Mission - to look at how we detect, treat & care for children with Cancer. video.buffer.com/v/626812336…

A big thank you to all our customers at the Earlswood store that have put their small change in the collection tins for @GiantPledge over the past year. A whopping £846! Small donations can make a difference😀

🚨COOL NEWS KLAXON 🚨 Alike was featured on @BBCClick @BBCNews! We're so grateful to the incredible Reielle for sharing her story. We know there is so much sadness, anger, and fear that cancer brings - but seeing Reielle’s smile when she talks about Alike is why we do what we do.

In a new study made possible by @GiantPledge, scientists at @RoyalMarsdenNHS & @ICR_London used #artificialintelligence to find a combination of drugs that could help children with DIPG brain cancer, which has a low survival rate. More from @guardian at bit.ly/3o2G6Hk.

Since then, a number of other families also set up their own Giant Pledges and we're thrilled to announce that they have collectively raised over £2 million! Congratulations to everyone involved and thank you! (2/2)

In 2017, Vicki and James Woodall launched George & the Giant Pledge, while their son, George, was being treated at @royalmarsdennhs for PNET Ewing's Sarcoma. They aimed to raise £1 million for research into childhood cancers. @GiantPledge (1/2)

I am in awe of @ddaisyellis who, when faced with the tragic news that her sarcoma is terminal, is doing all she can to help others. She’s already raised £115k but she's determined to raise even more for @sarcoma_uk instagram.com/p/B2hHK2yiNL0/…
