Family’s grieving

<div>my name is Lilly-Mae and I am 17 years old, I have recently found a 22cm tumour coming off my adrenal gland which isn’t only rare for someone so young but the size is absolutely mind blowing. Me and my family have suddenly found out it is most likely going to be cancer. Even though no one is certain until it has been removed from my body, cancer sounds like the answer right now. I have been fortunate enough to have had the best care from the beginning of my journey but I will have the best support until the end. Starting with my gp, to Blackburns endocrinologist, to Salfords high end endocrinologist but now to the Christie’s team and many more including surgeons from the Royal Marsden in Chelsea, who treated princess Kate’s cancer, coming to watch my surgery. The surgery will take place in September and will be an intense surgery according to my surgeon due to blood vessels surrounding my tumour and the displacement of a lot of my organs. I would love to give back to this hospital for many reasons the first being, when I first walked in you could sense the care and the passion in every member of staff and the smiles on the patients faces I met so I would like to do something to make other patients journey more comfortable. My aim is to walk 2K a day up to the day before my surgery not only to keep me positive and something to focus on but to give back to everyone else going through their own journeys to beat cancer. My start date is Monday 27th of July 2026 up until the date of my surgery in September.

Walking towards surgery

<div>At Holistic Boutique Gym, our community has always been the heart of everything we do. We celebrate each other’s achievements, support one another through challenges, and stand together when life becomes unexpectedly difficult. Recently, our beloved and long-standing member, Claire, received the heartbreaking diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Claire has been an inspiration within our gym family for many years, and her strength, positivity, and kindness have touched us all. As she and her husband John navigate this incredibly tough journey, we want them to feel the full weight of our love and support behind them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are also deeply moved by the experience of another valued member, Adele, whose brother is living with MND. Seeing how this condition affects individuals and their families has brought home just how vital awareness, research, and compassionate support are. MND impacts not only the person diagnosed but everyone who cares for them, and the emotional, physical, and financial strain can be overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That is why we have chosen to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. This remarkable charity provides essential services, resources, and guidance for people living with MND and their loved ones. They fund crucial research aimed at better treatments and, one day, a cure. Every contribution helps ensure that families like Claire’s and Adele’s receive the care, information, and hope they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a gym community, we believe in showing up for each other—on the best days and the hardest ones. By coming together in support of the MND Association, we honour Claire, Adele’s brother, and everyone facing this devastating disease. Our efforts are a reflection of the compassion and unity that make Holistic Boutique Gym so special, and together we can make a meaningful difference.
