“So proud to receive the Flames of Hope Honorary Fellowship from Cancer Research UK (CRUK) yesterday. First Flames of Hope award in 2012, and now this one yesterday. 18 years of volunteering alongside many amazing people and incredible CRUK staff (in particular Martin McGlown and Tom Bourton). I need to put this other certificate up.
