Michael Bublé invited a nervous 15-year-old onstage… and then realized he needed to step aside. 🥹🎤
Sam Hollyman started singing “Feeling Good,” and suddenly the entire moment changed. What happened next was unforgettable... 💖

Know your real Avengers 🚨
- Captain Smit Machchhar, who fought the attacker and opened the cockpit
- Asaf Redjuan, who rushed at the attacker
- Israeli dad Tzvika Mans, who tied the attacker with a cable so he couldn't move
- Yaniv Hayon, who handled the aircraft and kept it stable
- Dr. Shota Musaev, who treated the captain and stopped the excessive bleeding.
They all worked together and made sure all those 180 passengers landed safely. Truly, men are brave 🙏

"My husband, mum, sister, father and neighbours died of cancer. I have cancer in my head and a tumour in my spine.”
A story that is harrowing to read but that makes it all the more important that the story gets told. How forever chemicals are destroying lives. Are you next?

This is such AMAZING news. FINALLY and sadly too late for some but this drug will help around 1000 women a year with metastatic breast cancer to have more time - it’s all you can ask for with Stage 4 - more time 🙏 Congrats @BreastCancerNow & all campaigners 👏👏👏👏
WE WON ENHERTU! 💗
After over 2 years of campaigning, APPG meetings, petitions, media interviews, protests and even standing topless outside Parliament, women with HER2-low Metastatic Breast Cancer in England will finally have access to #Enhertu on the NHS.
It’s a bittersweet victory because it took so long. We lost far too many friends and fellow campaigners who were denied this treatment and should be here celebrating with us today.
Campaigning while living with stage 4 cancer has been exhausting. We should have been making memories with our loved ones.
But knowing Enhertu could be my next line gives me, and so many others, hope for more precious time 🙌🏼
Thank you @BreastCancerNow @METUPUKorg and @Make2ndsCount for never giving up on us, and thank you everyone who supported us and shared petitions 💗
