Today I met with Marie Brewis and MP of Luton North ~ @SarahOwen MP
We spoke about our desire for a cancer support centre in Luton and various other health related topics.
Other counties have them, so why can’t we?

Empowering!
The word itself gives me a sense of motivation and I automatically switch to…
“I can do it” mode and help others.
For me…It’s that feeling of sharing what you believe will help others.
