When you a message that literally stops you in your tracks, takes your breath away, breaks your heart, makes you smile from ear to ear. A wonderful lady called Debi found a wolfpig last June and took it to the The Lake District…….
Then she found another wolfpig and took him to …….. San Francisco ♥️
How absolutely incredible is that, I can’t thank you enough Debi. It would be Jonnys birthday on Saturday so for this to pop up just makes my heart pop.
Spreading the word stateside ♥️♥️♥️♥️

⚠️ THIS BABY GIRL NEEDS OUR HELP! Helene is just one year old and has blood cancer. She urgently needs a blood stem cell donation, but no one on the worldwide registry is a match. Please spread the word and help us find her lifesaver 🙏
Could it be you? Request a swab kit to register as a potential blood stem cell donor today: https://bit.ly/3AakqeM
Poor Helene has had a difficult start in life. Born nine weeks premature, she spent her first few months in hospital, fighting to survive.
Then in June, she was rushed to the doctors after developing a fever and bumps on her head.
After various tests, her parents received the devastating news that Helene had acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
Now, a blood stem cell donation from a matching donor is her best chance of beating the disease.
“After the first big shock was behind us, we decided to fight. Helene has already made it once, she will make it again,” said her mum, Steffi.
“We don't want to lose our little girl. Like all parents, we only want one thing: to see our child grow up.
“She should be able to laugh and love and discover the world.
“Please do not hesitate - join the register. It is quick and uncomplicated. And in doing so, you are giving Helene and many others the greatest thing there is - the chance of a happy life.”
Could you be the perfect match for Helene, or someone else in need? 🤞
If you’re 17-55 and in general good health, request a swab kit to become a lifesaver-in-waiting: https://bit.ly/3AakqeM

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. ❤
A time for us all to raise awareness of blood cancers and blood disorders, as well as the urgent need for blood stem cell donors.
This year, our theme is about recognising the great things we all have within us to make a difference.
Whether it’s the actual stem cells you have in your body to donate to a stranger in need, the ability to bake a cake or run a 10k to raise vital funds, or the commitment to raising awareness and spreading the word… we know .
So what are you waiting for? Let’s go! 💪

“Running and friends saved me after I lost Jonny. My amazing friend Cheryl took me out everyday… we ran in the most beautiful places, she talked, I cried and healed.”
Izzy is a superstar taking on the Great North Run in just 2 weeks’ time after already smashing the virtual half after the cancellation last year and completing her own virtual 30 mile ultra earlier this year as part of Anthony Nolan’s 30 Miles in March challenge.
She is running in loving memory of her big brother Jonny who passed away last June after being diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in 2019. He was her inspiration for getting into running in the first place.
“Jonny always raved about how good running was, I gave it a go on the roads… then he started on about how good trail running was … so I gave in and we went out together and I haven’t looked back.“
Izzy has raised over £3000 so far across her challenges and plans to also do another ultra-challenge to continue this lifesaving fundraising.
“I think people don’t realise how easy it is to be a stem cell donor and how much it can change someone’s life. I donated my stem cells to Jonny, and it give him 50 extra precious days with us. Blood cancer is something that everyone can help delete by such an easy process. Jonny had an exciting action-packed life and to see how Anthony Nolan are helping people with blood cancer recover to lead a life like Jonny (maybe not as wild) is incredible.”
Thank you so much for sharing Izzy!! 💚🖤
