Today is #October1st - #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth is 'over', but if only it were the actual end of childhood cancer too...

We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped spread awareness in some way this month /1

Whether you've painted a stone, decorated your front door or shop window, put gold flowers in your garden, bought & worn a gold ribbon, shared a social media post, changed your profile picture, worn gold, made a donation or had a conversation about #childhoodcancer, thank you /2

Whether you ran in gold for @Coventryparkrun, took part in the treasure hunt, or were part of the minutes applause for Ben at @covblazehockey, @CoventryRugby or at the Juniors Crown Green Bowling match, we thank you /3

#ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

@coventryparkrun @covblazehockey @CoventryRugby I know we can't change things overnight or on our own, but, in the words of Rachel Plattern...

“I might only have one match - but I can make an explosion.”

Ben. You didn't want to be forgotten. You won't be. Coventry went gold for you. Your light remains /4

@coventryparkrun @covblazehockey @CoventryRugby Ben, we will do our best to make change happen in your name.

September may be over but our work here is far from done.

We didn't come this far, to only come this far /5 END
