Nia has cut her hair and is donating it to the Little Princess Trust who make real hair wigs for children having treatment for cancer. Each wig costs £550 to make, so she is fundraising with that sum as her target. Find out more here: justgiving.com/fundraising/n…

Wearing a mask is simply the right thing to do. A personal responsibility and a means of protecting others.

Over the years we’ve been trolled, abused, threatened with violence, sent death threats, stalked and threatened with legal action But the NHS and its staff are too important to stop campaigning for - so we’ll never stop trying Please follow and RT if you’re happy to help us

Recruitment to COVID19_BMT IMPACT study continued this week. 34 patients are now taking part in total, providing valuable information on how #COVID19 affects this important group. The study is open to #alloSCT patients with COVID19, including retrospective. @GreatOrmondSt @CRCTU
