Life is worth racing for. Thank you to all our amazing supporters and volunteers at Race for Life Battersea yesterday. Over 1,200 people raising £180,000 for the lifesaving work @cancerresearchuk.org fund. That’s amazing 🩷 #raceforlife #VolunteersWeek #togetherwearebeatingcancer

I started smoking at 13 and spent 25 years trying to quit. I watched my dad, a lifelong smoker, die of lung cancer aged 66. I feared my daughter would watch the same in years ahead. But I never stopped trying and went to a quit clinic aged 40. I've never looked back #NoSmokingDay

Excited to be travelling to Belfast, joining our @cancerresearchuk.org public affairs team and fellow Campaigns Ambassador Victoria Poole, for this historic moment as MLAs vote on adopting the Tobacco and Vapes Bill legislation.

Tobacco kills around 1,800 people each year in Northern Ireland; thats 1 person every 5 hours.

Today representatives in Northern Ireland have a huge opportunity to take a step towards a #SmokefreeUK and play their part in helping to end cancers caused by smoking. 🧵1/2

The irony…Wondering round Tabakalera, now the Int’l Centre for Contemporary Culture of San Sebastián, but for 90 years (1913–2003) a tobacco factory.

Meanwhile back home, MPs are about to debate the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

MPs, be on the right side of history. #SmokefreeUK @cancerresearchuk.org
