I’ve completed the final mile of my 44-mile walk in October to raise money in memory of Bowelbabe Dame Deborah James who died from bowel cancer aged 44. I suffered from a Stage Three bowel cancer in the last two years so please help someone in the future https://t.co/wIjQmyfmHa

Massive thank you! Because of your support we’ve raised £365 for @CR_UK Today’s walk took me over looking down onto my childhood home - thank you so much to everyone who’s supported me so far. If you can bung a few quid to help save lives, please do so at https://t.co/wIjQmyeORC

14 miles done, 30 to go in my Walking 44 miles challenge in memory of Dame Deborah James - who died aged 44 of bowel cancer. I’m raising money for @CR_UK so if you fancy donating visit https://t.co/wIjQmyeORC Thank you so much to those who’ve donated

I have walked my first two miles in aid of the fight against bowel cancer. I suffered from stage 3 bowel cancer in the past 18 months and my life was saved, thanks to skill and care from the NHS and from research into the disease if you can please donate https://t.co/wIjQmyfmHa

Discussing your wishes on organ donation is really important - it helps your loved ones if the worst happens. This is such an inspirational, sad but courageous story

I’ve bored you to tears with my stories of stomas, chemotherapy, operations, radiotherapy etc. But I’m lucky to be alive. So in October I’ll walk 44 miles in memory of Deborah James - who died from bowel cancer aged 44. Please help? https://t.co/wIjQmyeORC

Joyous! That’s how ⁦@oasis⁩ made 70,000 people feel on Saturday night at Murrayfield. No arrests, just people being happy. Exactly 39 years after seeing Queen at Knebworth - I’ve seen two of my favourite gigs on 9/8. Thanks ⁦@liamgallagher⁩ ⁦@BoneheadsPage⁩

I’ve travelled to the other end of the country to see these cars so it would be rude not to go 20 minutes up the road - Charles Leclerc’s old F1 car @sparNorth looked beautiful! #Ferrari #F1

Over the past 18 months I can’t fault the cancer care I’ve received - from diagnosis to treatment, operation, care on ward, chemotherapy, stoma care, stoma reversal and surveillance tests which mean I’m cancer free, thanks to every member of staff involved - I’m so very grateful

70 years since the first Wainwright book was published - here he is presenting my mum and dad with a pair of his boots when he officially opened their bookshop in Kendal 40 years ago #wainwright #kendal #LakeDistrict

There used to be one of these at Leeds University - not sure if there still is. I got stuck once as I couldn’t get out in time and then it broke down!

I had cancer and work with words. Words have power and with power comes responsibility- please think about what you write - and if you think that you wouldn’t want to receive a message - don’t send it.

He then became a bakery owner. And then a bookshop owner. Unfailingly polite, a true gentleman - my dad died in 2013 but lived true British values - and I’m so inspired by him! (9/9)

I never told him in life but I’m so proud of him and his service. He fought against hatred, intolerance, and bigotry- for peace, kindness and consideration. After the war he even taught his zoo and casino owner (and Lord Lucan’s friend) John Aspinall to fire the Bren gun. (8/9)

The taxi driver asked why we were going there, dad explained they’d been billeted there after liberating the area. The taxi driver pulled up and said she’d been the little girl who played football with them - we didn’t pay for that ride! (7/9)

When we went in he realised the Germans had been using it as a sniper’s nest, so his team had blown it up. Getting a taxi on that trip dad wanted to look at a farmhouse. (6/9)

We walked into a bar and as soon as the elder group of men realised dad had been there in the war, we didn’t pay for food or drink. We saw a church in a village - I think it was still Kirkdriel. Dad said he remembered it looking differently. (5/9)

When training he witnessed some thugs attacking a pub known to be frequented by gays - yes they existed in the 1940s! Dad, in his own words- said his platoon “made sure they didn’t do it again! In Holland in the 1980s with me, Dad visited Kirkdriel with me. (4/9)
