BEYOND CHUFFED to find out my photo of the Duchess of Cambridge & Princess Charlotte at Sandringham has been chosen as one of a handful of Royal photos taken by the public to be exhibited as part of @HRP_palaces’s upcoming Life Through a #RoyalLens exhibition at Kensington Palace
TWO DAYS ‘TIL REBIRTHDAY & THREE PEAKS! 🚨⛰️
From isolation & daily transfusions to marathons, Transplant Games and now the Three Peaks. What a difference a year makes!
Still here. Still alive. Still doing mad things.
Any donations greatly appreciated👇 givewheel.com/fundraising/20…
This day last year: midway through a gruelling intensive six-day course of chemotherapy and immunotherapy ahead of my transplant.
Today: getting ready to run a half-marathon.
Recovery and resilience looks different for everyone, but this is mine.
Let’s go, @GreatEasternRun 🔥
“I WISHED IT WAS ME” 🥺
In the run-up to my first transplant anniversary, I’ve been sitting down with my nearest and dearest to talk about the last year; to get their thoughts and feelings - and hear their experiences.
Where best to start than with Betty the Babe… my nan! 🤍
Plus, there’s still time to donate to my #ThreePeaks charity fundraiser ahead of us leaving for Scotland next Thursday! 👇

If you’ve not yet signed up to a stem cell register, - why not? It’s easy. Check out @AnthonyNolan and @DKMS_uk UK for more info! 🤍
From chemo anthem to race-day hype song 💪🎧
I’ve been tested more than I ever imagined. Yet here I am - running races, getting ready to climb mountains, making the most of my second chance.
Still here. Still going.
Join the stem cell donor registers👇 @AnthonyNolan @DKMS_uk
(And shout out to @Vitality_UK’s 10K for such a cracking start location to go with the hype songs.)

I don’t know if this counts as a scandal but when Michele Bachmann was running for president in 2012 and she was in Waterloo Iowa speaking about how John Wayne used to live there but it turns out she was given wrong information and it was John Wayne Gacy that lived in Waterloo 😭
💥 PBs ACROSS THE BOARD!
Turns out the transplant recovery rulebook needed another rewrite today.
One chapter, one run, one PB at a time.
Vitality 10k ✅
Thanks for a cracking run out today, @Vitality_UK🫡

Today marks 11 months since I got my stem cell transplant.
After treatment failure and multiple daily transfusions just to survive, there’s no telling if I’d still be here without it.
But I am. Yet too many people aren’t.
You can change that. More info👉@AnthonyNolan @DKMS_uk

V.important polling, in honour of the late Dolly Parton.
Labour lead with fans of Jolene which is also the most popular Parton song among Britons
The Tories lead with “I will always love you” fans
“Islands in the Stream” is the most Reform leaning
Greens do best among 9-5 fans and maybe explains their desire for a different economic model.
I was lucky enough to meet Dolly - twice
.…Many years back, and they were - in the grand scheme of things - fleeting moments. But such was the strength of her character, zest for life, and delight in everything that was joyous, those moments have stayed with me for years.
A year after my lifesaving stem cell transplant, Dad and I are taking on the National Three Peaks over 3 days - raising money for five orgs at the heart of my diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
Three peaks. Two blokes. One cause.
