This photo was taken 3 years ago today. The day she was diagnosed with the cancer that took her life 28 months later. A happy healthy girl. Except she wasnβt healthy. She had Stage 4 ARMS.

Today on @theJeremyVine
Listen from 1:31:35 to hear Rubyβs mummy talk about anticipatory grief.
The life of a child forever changed by cancer is a life that creates grief, regardless of the outcome. So much more to sayβ¦

July is #SarcomaAwarenessMonth ποΈπ
7 in 10 children who are diagnosed with #rhabdomyosarcoma will survive β but this is a lot lower than the average survival across all cancers.
Thatβs why #SNFs like @PassTheSmileOrg & @BeMoreRuby1 are so important ππ»
Busy party planning with our friends at @BuddiesRacquet π€©
Some fantastic prizes to be won from local businesses βΊοΈ
Aiming for a great celebration and lots of funds raised in Rubyβs memory π

we donβt think there were any tears.
We hope Ruby is giggling somewhere this Fatherβs Day. She should be here π
The YPI group from @PHS__Drama were absolutely fantastic! Did such a brilliant job, Ruby would have been immensely proud of you all π¦π
We are so, so grateful to the @PerthHighSchool YPI winners for choosing us as their charity and working so hard to achieve the win. It means so much, and we know how much it would mean to Ruby, who always wanted to help other children like her. Thank you all π
@CCLG_UK
So proud of our YPI Charity Winners who were presented with their Β£3000 cheque by Cllr Chan. They chose to donate the money to @BeMoreRuby1. This talented group wrote a poem inspired by Ruby as well as choreographing a brand new dance themselves #BeMoreRuby #weAREphs
Huge thanks to @LeanneL78385979 and the team challenging themselves to complete Tough Mudder 2023, raising some funds for Be More Ruby while theyβre at it! πͺποΈ
