Today, we’re launching #ChildCancerSmart alongside campaign ambassador @dramirkhangp.bsky.social - an evidence-based public and professional awareness campaign to improve #EarlyDiagnosis of cancer in children and teenagers aged up to 18 🩵🎗️ Find out more at cclg.org.uk/childcancers...

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.
