Blown away by @passthesmile.bsky.social's incredible operation at the Treecycling weekend. Watching the volunteers in action was a powerful reminder of just how strong our community spirit is where community effort, good organisation & genuine generosity all came together. @coventrycc.bsky.social

Honoured to support @passthesmile.bsky.social Despite the cold, wind, hail and brief sunshine, the joy at unveiling Ben’s plaque was incredible. Huge kudos to Sarah, Scott and the family, and thanks to Earlsdon Library and the @coventrycc.bsky.social who joined us. Community at its best.

Just brilliant to see Coventry City FC's deserved promotion to the Premier League. Ben met some of the Coventry City players when he was in hospital. Ben told them he preferred Coventry Rugby Club - they were very understanding 😶🤣 Photo: December 2018

Rhabdomyosarcoma is classified into several sub types, including embryonal and alveolar, which differ in prognosis and treatment. Ben had alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. It is very tricky to treat. The cause is unknown. #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Around 55 children are diagnosed with it each year in the UK. In 2018, one of those 55 was Ben 💔 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Ben should be headed back to school this week. We are thinking of all the families who have an empty doorstep instead of a back to school doorstep photo. We hold you all in our hearts 💔

We were delighted to attend the @cclguk.bsky.social annual conference this week, both to learn new things and to help determine how families might get more involved in future years It was lovely to meet several of Ben's consultants, and many of the BCH Nurses who cared for him ❤️

🎗️ International Childhood Cancer Day 🎗️ Do you know the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer? Cancer symptoms can be very similar to other illnesses and vary between children. These are usually not cancer but please visit your dr if your child has any of these Image: @candlelighters.bsky.social

World Cancer Day In 2019 Ben and his mum spent the day in Morrisons collecting donations for @younglivesvscancer.bsky.social A year later and his brother gave up his birthday to do the same in memory of his little brother 💔 A common misconception is that childhood cancer is rare Love you Ben 💫🚀

On Friday we visited Dr Darrell Green & postgrad researcher Kirsty Soanes at the Biomedical Research Centre at UEA, along with our friends Lisa & David from Just George, to find out more about their new project studying the physical 3D shape of the gene mutation that causes rhabdomyosarcoma.

Today is World Kindness Day. Every smile we share, every kind word we give freely, every kind word we receive gratefully, every time we help someone - it adds a light to the world and makes it a lighter place - in both senses of the word.
