@andyburnham was super helpful as shadow health secretary when I was campaigning flat out after DD died on #fasterdiagnosis of childrens' #braintumour #HeadSmart. Such a relief 2 see action at last.
At today’s meeting between Prime Minister @andyburnham and #ArchieGoodburn, the government has announced a package of measures that aim to accelerate research into brain tumours. Learn more 👉bit.ly/4hWy9Ob
Huge thanks to @SteveHarrisDJ for raising awareness of #braintumours @BrainTumourOrg @TJBCMission by highlighting bereaved families' experiences this morning 7-8.15 am. Check out #childcancersmart @cclguk
Wish my late Dad could see my new book #Sing being discussed in his favourite read @TheEconomist. Never been so chuffed in my life! @headlinepg

Petition: Fund the inclusion of music therapy in community mental health support. Provision of music therapy services, offering an evidence-based route to support that transcends words and language is desperately needed.

Really thrilled we now have @RockChoir in Shaftesbury! Shall be recommending to fellow #bereaved. I describe the health benefits in my book & the scientific trial #Rockchoir took part in.

Beyond thrilled Norman Lebrecht enjoyed & reviewed my book! Wish I'd known things about #singing I discovered writing & I've been obsessed for life.
Such a thrill for a superfan of Radio 3 to be invited on 2 talk about my book #Sing! Hope 2 encourage anyone with #PND to check singing classes @BreatheAHR now prescribed @NHSuk. Or to conduct a young person's choir using #BBCGetSinging - if I could, you can! We can ALL sing!
Was in anxious denial this was happening today, live, around 6.30 until a friend sent this. Am a super fan so it's going to be hard to not stammer and stare...

No parent should have to choose between caring for their seriously ill child and keeping their job.
Families of seriously ill or disabled children need paid leave, alongside better NHS and social care support.

amazon.co.uk/Sing-Sacha-Lang… Fell off my chair when I saw my new book is already available for preorder! For anyone who thinks they can't sing & 4 people like me who love it (& it's my job). All the reasons why u should, from how we evolved to the science behind why it feels so good.

This petition calling for Jess’s Rule in Wales has already passed the threshold for consideration by the Petitions Committee, but reaching 10,000 signatures could lead to it being considered for a debate in the Senedd.
You do not need to be Welsh to sign.

We hope it will be shared widely & ultimately make a difference in creating awareness & achieving earlier diagnosis in Primary Care. The training is dedicated to a few of the many young people who lost their lives too soon. @RichardRawcliff @Simpson616
