🎗️Childhood cancer awareness month has begun…
—————————————————————————
Every single day, families hear the words no parent should ever hear: “Your child has cancer.”
These aren’t just statistics — they are babies, toddlers and children who should be living carefree, happy lives.
Throughout this month, I’ll be sharing stories daily of brave little warriors — those still fighting, those who have survived, and those we will always remember 💛 (all with parental consent). Please read, share, and help spread awareness.
‼️ Think about what you spend each month on luxuries — a coffee, a takeaway, a subscription. Why not dedicate that same amount to helping save a child’s life?
Every single pound makes a difference.

🎗FACTS FOR YOU:
~ Around 1,900 new cancer cases are diagnosed annually in children aged 0–14 in the UK — that’s over five every single day. 💔
~ Despite advances, about 250 young children lose their lives to cancer each year in the UK — that’s roughly five every week💔
~Treatments are harsh, outdated, and often leave life-long damage.❤️🩹
~Only a small fraction of cancer research funding goes to childhood cancers.🤯😤
_________________________________________
These children should be running, laughing, and playing.
Instead, they are hooked up to tubes, lying in hospital beds, fighting battles far too big for their little bodies. 💛
Every one of them is someone’s whole world.
A child with dreams, laughter, and a life worth living.
This is why I will never stop raising awareness, fundraising, and fighting for change.
For the fighters.
For the survivors.
For the angels we’ll never forget. 🎗

My reason- IVY 🎀
She was just 4 years old when she was diagnosed with leukaemia in January 2024. Our whole world changed in an instant.
She is now just over one year in remission 🩷😭 and for that I am beyond grateful. Every single day she is here, we take as a win 🙌🏼.
But since Ivy’s diagnosis, I’ve spoken to wayyyy too many families whose little ones have had cancer, are still fighting cancer and who’ve passed from cancer💔. Every story breaks my heart — but I will not shy away, and neither should you.
_________________________________________Hold your babies a little tighter. Be grateful they are here and healthy. Because for so many families, this isn’t the case.
Together, we can make a difference.
Together, we can fight for our children.
💛🎗 🎀
