💚 💜Today is World Lymphoma Awareness Day 💜💚

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic system, an important part of our immune system. Every 35 seconds, someone around the world is diagnosed with lymphoma.

This day is about:
✨ Raising awareness of the signs and symptoms
✨ Supporting those living with lymphoma and their loved ones
✨ Promoting research and hope for better treatments

Know the signs: persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, and persistent fever - Early detection makes a big difference.

We are especially proud of our very own Dr. Tucker, who has not only fought and beaten lymphoma herself, but is also taking on an incredible challenge — running the London Marathon 2026 to raise money and awareness for this important cause. 🏃‍♀️💚 - Please see her sponsorship link below.

Let’s stand together to spread awareness, show support, and give hope

Help Rosie Tucker raise money to support Lymphoma Action

💛 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 💛

Every life matters. Every story matters. Today, we come together to raise awareness, break the silence, and remind each other that hope and help are always within reach.

If you’re struggling, please know you are not alone. Reach out to a friend, a loved one, or a professional. Your life has value, and your presence makes a difference. 💛🌍✨

Let’s continue building a world where mental health is treated with compassion, where asking for help is seen as strength, and where no one feels they have to suffer in silence.
