@easyJet our flight to Edinburgh on Friday was cancelled; we took the refund option for that and the return (scheduled for tmrw), but we're still getting notifications about flight back from EDI. How can we confirm refund is for both legs +that we're cancelled for tmrw? Thanks!

Congratulations to the Aisling Burnand Award 2024 winner @bloodcancer_uk! We received many excellent examples of impactful advocacy, but the UK Blood Cancer Action Plan stood out for its particularly strong evidence base, clear presentation & wide reach.

@Laura_Challinor Sorry to hear you're unwell and that couldn't be there today, Laura, but thanks to your and your colleagues' hard work it was an excellent, powerful event. I was proud to be a part of it and look forward to helping drive the actions now needed to make a real difference. 🙏

@HennyBraund Right next to you on that, @HennyBraund and @SorchaEastwood! Without the support (+ donor provision) of @AnthonyNolan, I could easily have been among the difficult statistics of those whose lives have been lost to #bloodcancer -- instead of celebrating my 10th transplantversary!

Thank you for bringing together so many relevant (and brilliant) voices, including people like me who have lived our own #bloodcancer stories, to create a timely, eye-opening and action-oriented report. Now comes the hard work: let's make it happen so more like me survive 🚀

This Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re launching a landmark new report: Taking blood cancer out of the shadows: A plan to increase survival, that details how blood cancer survival in the UK is being overshadowed 🩸

@AnthonyNolan @bloodcancer_uk @HennyBraund @SorchaEastwood Thank you for your support, @AnthonyNolan! In the year I celebrated 10 years since my stem cell transplant + started a job in the healthcare improvement world, this was a timely event to push for better outcomes for all of us affected by blood cancer. Loved catching up with Henny
