Back in hospital again and my heart feels so heavy as infection levels are high, a chest infection has knocked me down, and I’m on the nebuliser, steroids and now a magnesium drip because I’m dehydrated. I can’t eat. My tummy aches, my heads pounding.

I thought I was dying in the first photo.

But what truly broke me today was the ambulance… my first time in one since losing you, Lauren. The flashbacks, the fear, the PTSD and the anxiety – it crushed me. I felt like I couldn’t breathe all over again. Quite literally.

Lauren, my beautiful girl… I whispered your name the whole way here. While listening to the game and I begged you to stay close, to give me strength, I told you how scared I was, how the memories were swallowing me whole. And then… there it was. A magpie outside the ambulance bay……Your sign. 💙

In that moment, I felt you. I knew you were reminding me that you’re still with me, that even in the hardest moments, I’m never alone. That little glimpse of hope was enough.

I’m back in the Queen Elizabeth, surrounded by incredible nurses and doctors who I can’t thank enough. But my biggest thank you is to my mum – my rock. Forever by my side, holding me together when I’m falling apart.

Thank you mum 🙏💙

Please always remember to carry your inhalers at all times and trust your instincts when it comes to your own health.

💙 A huge heartfelt thank you to Linda, her wonderful friends, and Clackmannanshire Council for their amazing support with Mr Wheezealot. Your kindness and generosity mean so much.

This isn’t just a storybook – it’s a tool that can help save lives. By educating children about their asthma and triggers in a fun and engaging way, we’re giving them the confidence to understand and manage their condition.

I’m truly humbled and proud to see this message spreading and making a difference in our community. Please keep supporting by buying the book on Amazon and helping us continue this important journey.

Thank you all so much for your continued love and encouragement. Together, we are making a difference. 💙

Clackmannanshire primary schools were recently gifted with an important book to raise awareness of asthma and the importance of using inhalers

Big thank you to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital I’m so grateful to you for looking after me so well over the past three days

Small op + biopsy done, results in 3 weeks. PMA is a must so all healing sent is greatly appreciated.

Care was amazing – and yes, the food was actually nice too! 🍽️👏

Thanks for all the lovely messages 💙 I’ll catch up soon, but please know how much I appreciate your support every single day.

I’m back with a bang 💥 (discharged faster than a puff of Ventolin! 😂).

Watch this space for big news. let’s just say “Is it Liam, Is it Noel”. Nope, you will have to wait and see the news later today about our next fundraiser.

So I’m sorry my priorities recently have been my own health but back to work on Lauren’s law again as of today.

Stay safe, happy , healthy and humbled and always remember your inhalers 💙💙💙💙

🛑PLEASE SHARE TIA🙏🛑

💙 I want to say a huge thank you to Sally for reaching out to me and helping share Cheryl Reid’s story. This cause is so close to my heart.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/mum-who-cheated-death-during-35711834

Cheryl’s life was tragically cut short, and while I can imagine the pain her loved ones have felt, her story has the power to change lives. We are fighting on in her memory—for awareness, for earlier action, and to make sure no other family has to go through what hers did.

** Please—sign the petition to help lower the bowel cancer screening age to 30 and ensure symptomatic patients are investigated promptly, regardless of age:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/725909

Your support means everything. 💙

Elaine Cunningham, from Glasgow, was just 37 when she underwent an operation to remove a tumour just a few months after she first experienced symptoms of the disease.

11/08/2025

💙 Tomorrow, my story will be featured in the Daily Record online, and on Wednesday, it will be in the printed newspaper.

I’ve shared my bowel cancer journey in the hope of raising awareness and encouraging others to listen to their bodies and push for answers when something doesn’t feel right.

This is also about something bigger — a new petition in memory of the beautiful Claire Reid, whose life was taken far too soon. We are calling for the bowel cancer screening age in Scotland to be lowered from 50 to 30, so that more lives can be saved through earlier detection.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/725909

Claire’s courage, love, and legacy deserve action. This petition is a step toward change, and I truly hope you will join me in supporting it. Every signature matters, every voice counts. 💙

In 2013, at just 37 years old, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

The operation was meant to take 2 hours — but it lasted 9.
During surgery, I actually died on the operating table.
While I was fighting for my life, my mum and my children were frantic with worry, not knowing if I was alive or gone.🙏

Thanks to my incredible surgeon, I was brought back.
Not only did he save my life, he did it without me needing a stoma bag — something I will forever be grateful for.

After 5 months of gruelling chemo I live with a huge scar from top too to bottom of my tummy and hernias that would choke a horse……But I’m here….My family needed me.

I’m one of the lucky ones. Too many people under 50 aren’t being diagnosed early enough, and it’s costing lives. The current screening age is too high — we need it lowered to 30 so more lives can be saved.

Please, please take just one minute of your day to sign this petition and help make that change. Together, we can save more lives.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/725909

Early detection saves lives.

let’s make sure it’s available to everyone who needs it. 💙

Who remembers this wee face?

Who remembers this wee face at this age?

Today marks five and a half years since our precious Lauren Reid gained her angel wings. Not a day goes by without her in our thoughts, and everything we do is driven by her memory and the desire to protect others in her name.

Lauren’s legacy has grown into something truly powerful — from the campaign for Lauren’s Law, raising vital awareness around asthma, to Mr Wheezealot, our brave little inhaler who’s now flying high in the charts and helping children understand the importance of always carrying their inhaler. 💙

I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come. What started as heartbreak has grown into a mission — and soon, we’ll officially become a registered charity. None of this would be possible without your continued love, encouragement, and belief in our journey.

Thank you all for standing with us every single day. You are helping turn pain into purpose, and Lauren’s light continues to shine through it all. 💙

💙Omg my heart💙

These AI apps are something else.

I hd to put a cheery sound to it as I don’t want anyone to think that’s morbid.

Look at her beautiful wee face and remember Lauren Reid. How funny she was. And always kind and caring.

My mums hates to see these but I’m sorry these mean the world to me as an angel mum.

It’s bringing my girl back to life just for a second.

I’ve used all her videos. So if I can make new ones then why not.

Ok I admit. The bridal dress was a step to far but OMG she was beautiful, always and forever 19 💙👼
