Donating is not about money only you do many things that can change 😭😭😭😭😭Right now, children in our community are facing daily challenges that no child should face — arriving at school without a meal and without basic school supplies. Hunger makes it hard to concentrate, and a lack of supplies makes it hard to keep up. Together we can help by providing nutritious meals, backpacks, books, and other essentials that let every child learn with dignity and hope. Every contribution, large or small, helps a child stay in school and stay nourished.

£3,484 raised so far to run for @oraclehncuk on Sunday in memory of my Dad, Ally. I never thought I’d be in the position where I no longer have my dad at the age of 24, navigating life without him is extremely difficult and I very much still don’t have the words to articulate how I feel about this. There was so much more of life he deserved to live and so much more he should have been there for mine.

There is currently no national screening for head and neck cancer and 70% of people across the uk do not know the signs to look out for. Oracle need this help to change this !

If this money can help save even one persons life then it’s worth every single penny. Thank you from myself, @rossgillanders11 and my mum from all the donations so far it means the world to us as a family<3

GNR 26 was not my best race.

Training has gone really well, and I was on course feeling good at 8 miles… then I hit a wall at 9 miles! 😩 I was ill, which is something I have never experienced at a race before, so unfortunately it just wasn’t my day. But that’s running — and sometimes you have to accept that things don’t go to plan.

But WOW… what a crowd! The support, encouragement and love from everyone in Newcastle and all along the route was absolutely incredible. ❤️

I’ve now completed 6 Great North Runs. This one may not have been my best, but I still love it, and it will always have a very special place in my heart.

Three years after my diagnosis, I can still run it — and I always will. 🏃‍♂️❤️

A huge thank you to Oracle Head & Neck Cancer Charity. They are truly amazing and the work they do means so much.

And, of course, thank you to my family, my grandchildren, my fellow runners and every single supporter who cheered me on. Your love and encouragement keep me going.

Here’s to the next one. 💙🏃‍♂️

As a Head & Neck Cancer patient, this day is incredibly important to me, and I want to help raise awareness.

We regularly check the rest of our bodies for changes, but we should also be checking our necks and being aware of any unusual changes or symptoms.

Head & Neck Cancer can affect anyone, and early detection can make a real difference.

So, if you do one thing today, please take a moment to check your neck—as well as the rest of your body—and speak to your GP if you notice anything unusual or concerning.

Let’s raise awareness, encourage early detection, and look out for one another. ❤️

Today is World Head and Neck Cancer Day ⭐️.

Every year, over 500,000 people are diagnosed with head and neck cancer worldwide, and more than 200,000 people die from the disease.

Know the signs. Persistent symptoms that last 3 weeks or more should always be checked, including:
👄 A mouth ulcer that doesn’t heal
🗣️ Persistent hoarseness or voice changes
🦷 A lump in the neck
😣 Difficulty or pain when swallowing
👅 Red or white patches in the mouth
👃 Persistent blocked nose or unexplained nosebleeds (especially on one side)

Radiotherapy is a cornerstone of treatment, with around 7 in 10 people with head and neck cancer receiving radiotherapy as part of their care, either to cure the cancer or help control symptoms.

Early diagnosis saves lives. If something doesn’t feel right, get it checked.

A huge thank you to Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK for giving me the opportunity to run the Hackney Half Marathon for such an incredible cause.

What a fantastic day — brilliantly organised and supported, honestly the best event atmosphere I’ve experienced.
Being able to run for a charity that supported me throughout my cancer journey meant so much. To now give something back makes me incredibly proud.

Also had a cheeky little chat with Sam Thompson at the start line, who was there supporting another amazing charity.
It wasn’t the time I was aiming for, but that really wasn’t the main point for me. Raising awareness for this smaller charity and helping publicise the amazing work they do was what mattered most.

We often hear about the how difficult radiotherapy treatment masks are for our patients.

Here @estro_radiotherapy there is a lovely tribute by radiation therapists to mask artwork for paediatric patients ❤️.
