Platelets donated. 🩸 I share because if seeing me do it makes even one person think "I could do that", it's worth the virtue signalling. Do something useful. Tell people. If just one new donor comes from it, job done. ❤️ platelets.blood.co.uk/ @GiveBloodNHS – at Oxford, England

I also love that a week after each donation you get told where your blood products ended up.

I have long struggled to wear a mountain as a #landmarkhat. I think this is my best effort yet?

Excited to be attending the 2026 version of this @OctopusEnergy event on Monday. Hoping (and confident) of it providing inspiration and “good energy” for my home and work life in droves! youtu.be/wuGqho9MLCA #OctopusETS26

Sitting at home on the sofa missing the vibes from last weekend’s Race Across the World themed Scout camp in Windsor Great Park. Scouting has become an integral part of my continuous positive feedback loop between work and play. It keeps me strong in body, mind and spirit.
Until tomorrow, goodnight…

Haven’t worn a #landmarkhat for a while but I’m particularly proud of this one. It sits very well I feel.

Fun fact! I finished my @LondonMarathon before Sebastian Sawe. How…? linkedin.com/posts/emikecroo…

Fun fact. I actually finished my race before Sabastian Sawe…really? Yes, by doing the MyWay version...

Fun fact. I actually finished my race before Sabastian Sawe…really? Yes, by doing the MyWay version of the race on my home turf I was able to start earlier at 07:00. I needed a 2.5 hour head start!...

After an absence of a few months due to travel I’m back giving away my platelets. Feeling strong (Gladiators on the telly). Service levels great (Bourbon biscuits). On brand radio station too! @GiveBloodNHS
