Efficiency: a fairy story.

One day a very rich man got cross because he believed that more people should be applauding his public statements in the town square. The people in the town square tried to explain: "plenty of people are applauding you, but we can't force everyone here to do that."

Our little altar includes some of Ben's favourites and overlooks one of Ben's favourite places

Love you Ben ❤️🖤❤️

Today we attended the CCLG and Candlelighters Research Discovery day. Scott spoke about Ben & how he inspires everything we do. He talked about how we support research through advocacy & sharing lived experience. It was good to hear about new research & meet other parents #childhoodcancer

If you are in #Earlsdon, please take a moment to find The Empty Chair in the Earlsdon Methodist Church. The chair is dedicated to children who are no longer with us.

The names of children are on the chair and the lights are their stars.

#ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Ben should be starting Yr 8 today

We are thinking of
- families who have an empty doorstep instead of a #BackToSchool photo
- brothers & sisters who are missing a sibling
- those who want to go back to school but can't
- those who can/have to go to school but it's a challenge

#CCAM

Today marks the start of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

We are dedicated to raising awareness about childhood cancer, and funding research into #rhabdomyosarcoma for kinder, more effective treatments

100% of money we raise goes to fund research

Help us make a difference 🎗️

Love you Ben 💛

Candles for Ben and for other bereaved parents. Remembering all the children stolen too soon.

Thinking of you all and holding you in our hearts.

#NationalBereavedParentsDay

A Child Of Mine - Supporting Bereaved Parents

This week, Ben's Dad was delighted to represent Pass The Smile in London the UK's first ever Rhabdomyosarcoma-focussed research strategy-setting day hosted by our friends at Alices Arc and involved some of the UK's leading researchers, clinicians and scientists.

Hope. Always hope.

Before we set up Pass the Smile, we raised c.£35k which we donated to 5 charities, one of which was to Birmingham Children's Hospital where we spent such a lot of time

Two Nintendo Switch gaming carts were delivered last week to BCH via TheRockinR ❤️

As Ben would say, Game ON Wards 18 and 19!
