Only three weeks to go now until my 4-day 100 mile running tour of Greater Manchester's 10 Hospices!
Flu struck last week, so have been off the running just when I should be training the hardest. But I'll get there :-)
Please sponsor me if you can! X gofund.me/fda3a512

How many more times does this need to be said? Hospice care is a right not a luxury. The evidence for the benefits of palliative care and hospice services - for patients, their carers and for the health care system - is clear.

Reminder to future self that it hurt but it was (hopefully) worth it! All being well, two months today I'll be setting off on a 4-day 100-mile run, visiting every adult and children's Hospice caring for people in Greater Manchester

If approved, the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine will be manufactured in Germany and Belgium. We have ordered 40 million doses. Their transport is temperature and time critical. Let’s hope there are no issues that would prevent free and fast movement of goods at our borders in January.

In the movie “Citizen Kane,” a tycoon runs for political office. In advance of the election result, his newspaper prepares two headlines after the election. One headline says: “Kane Elected” and the other says: “Fraud At Polls.”
This feels spookily prophetic today.

He just called an insistence on counting all the votes a “fraud” perpetrated by “very sad people.” He said that they “will not let it happen.” He does not even hide his fascism. Democracy is an inconvenience to him.

But when we asked you to do that for the lowest-paid people in the North, you refused. People here will remember that.

It’s going to be a tough month but please do support your local hospice if you can. Hospice shops will be closed from Thursday & end of life care is never more needed. Hugely grateful to support from @Helen_Whately & @NHSEngland and hopeful for more government support @hospiceuk
