On Sunday 5th October “Team Gee” did the Cardiff Half Marathon in memory of Dr Rees. Their times ranged from 1hr 55min – 2 hrs 55min. Gillian would have been proud of them and over £12,000 was raised for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. There is an MNDA Tribute page dedicated to Dr Rees: https://gillian-gee.muchloved.com
Congratulations “Team Gee” you all did brilliantly 🥇

🚭 October is Stoptober - your chance to take control of your health and quit smoking for good 💪🔥

Whether you've quit, started again, or switched to va**ng, it’s vital to let your doctor know. Why? Because smoking directly affects the treatment and management of long-term conditions like:
❤️ Coronary heart disease (CHD)
🦵 Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
🧠 Stroke or TIA
💉 High blood pressure (hypertension)
🩸 Type 2 diabetes
🫁 COPD and asthma (in adults)
💭 History of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
🚰 Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Your smoking status plays a big role in your care plan. Don’t keep it to yourself - tell your GP.

💬 Want to quit? Help is out there:
👉 Speak to your GP
👉 Call the NHS Smokefree Helpline 0300 123 1044
👉 Or visit: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/quit-smoking/nhs-stop-smoking-services-help-you-quit/

Every day smoke-free is a win 🏆

🚭 Va**ng vs Smoking

Switching from smoking to va**ng can significantly reduce exposure to harmful chemicals — but va**ng is not risk-free. It still delivers ni****ne and other potentially harmful substances.
