Today is World Cancer Day. An international day that takes place each year to raise awareness about cancer and encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. At Cancer Research UK, we’re marking today across our social media channels, and shining a spotlight on our work as the world’s leading cancer charity, dedicated to saving and improving lives through our research, influence and information.
This week, we have two new opportunities to get involved. We’re asking about your experience of volunteering and being part of the Involvement Network at Cancer Research UK to help us improve the way we work with our volunteers in the future. The next survey asks what information you’d need to help you make an informed decision when considering a clinical trial.
Cancer Research UK has launched a £10m Cancer Data Driven Detection initiative, transforming how we assess cancer risk to advance early detection and precision prevention. We’d like to thank the network members who are involved in this important piece of work to help to revolutionise research and deliver real-world impact.
I hope you have a lovely week and thanks for your continued support and involvement in our work.

Media Volunteer newsletter – February 2025Dear Media Volunteer,As many of you will know, today is World Cancer Day. This annual event gives us the opportunity to remember those lost to cancer but also the progress we have made in cancer research over the years. It also acts, of course, as a reminder of why we must keep raising awareness and funds for research.
We’ve been marking the day with activity including Tommy (pictured above with his grandson) featuring in emails from Ticketmaster, one of our Corporate Partners.
Tommy, who appears in our “We Are” Brand campaign, took part in our TUXEDO clinical trial after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
It has also been a busy start to the year in other respects, with more information below about the relaunch of Race for Life, new films for our Legacy campaign and new posters in our shops supporting our work on cancers affecting children and young people – all supported by media volunteers like you.
Finally, we’d ask that you consider completing our latest volunteer survey to help shape how we work with our volunteers across the charity. More details below!Thank you for being a media volunteer.
Best wishes, Keyan Milanian Media Volunteer Liaison team

The survey closes on Monday 24 February.Complete the surveyRace for Life launchOur Race for Life 2025 season is now underway and media volunteer Jenny Hicks was on hand to help with the launch last month.
Breast cancer patient Jenny, from St Albans, recorded a new radio and YouTube advert which has gone out on stations throughout the UK to help highlight this year’s forthcoming events.
Jenny, from St Albans, spoke of how much her two best friends, Alison and Jane (pictured from left to right, Alison, Jenny and Jane), mean to her and why they’ve inspired her to take part in Race for Life. The trio have known each other for 60 years and all three have been treated for breast cancer. Though Jenny’s cancer is now incurable the bond between the friends is stronger than ever.Read more Race for Life hereLegacy campaignMedia Volunteers Jesse (right) and Laurel (left) are appearing on TV as part of a new Legacy campaign in the coming weeks.

Survey – Experience of people affected by sarcoma across the UKSarcoma UK invites you to take part in their 2025 National Sarcoma Survey. The survey will collect information about the experience of people affected by sarcoma across the UK, including adults, children and carers. Find out more
Involving all voices We’ve created a new page, Including all voices. A page dedicated to equality, diversity and inclusion to explain our work towards involving more people affected by cancer who may feel unheard or unrepresented in our work and to highlight the support available to them.
In December, we included a draft of the page along with a short survey. Following your responses, we changed the header image and added information to images to show they’re not stock images. We edited the introduction and ‘Our mission for equality, diversity and inclusion’ paragraphs. We also edited the formatting to decrease spacing. Although formatting on our current platform is limited at the moment, work to update the Cancer Research UK website is underway and will be launched later this year.
The page will sit off the Patient Involvement home page and will be linked in opportunities we organise. We hope the page will begin to remove barriers that might prevent someone from taking part.View our new page

A few weeks ago, we welcomed current and alumni members of our Cancer Insights Panels and Inclusion in Involvement Steering group to Barts Cancer Institute for our annual hybrid social event. It was great to welcome over 40 members and celebrate the impact they’ve had across the work of Cancer Research UK through this reward and recognition event. We’ve received some fantastic feedback and are looking forward to next years event already. Read more about it below.
Also, this week, we have an update on a project promoted earlier in the year, about the role of unpaid carers. This was an informative workshop and helped us to understand how they support those they care for to access health information.Thanks for your continued support in our work.

After another ASB at my home yesterday and what I have endured because of the SYSTEMIC DISCRIMINATION after the death of my mother with dementia. I will use the opportunity to be a speaker on DES O’CONNOR’S WOMEN IN BUSINESS on the 20th April 2024 to address 31+ years of hate crimes against me. The Judiciary of England and Wales, the Criminal Justice System, and Crown Prosecution CRIMINALS needing EMOTIONAL REGULATION TREATMENT and the VIOLENT NUISANCES will be named.
I need time to complete my DUTIES to my husband dying slowly of torture in the Mother Country where a door is more important than Mervelee Myers. Because when I called the Metropolitan Police about my door being kicked no one attended. But later the RACIST TERRORIST in the form of TANNER and HUNTE and MARTINIEZ and MADDOCK turned up with battering RAM.
Let me reference 5526/02March2024 and Call 101 to make a complaint report. Because I will have to go back to 30th October 2017 when Ambulance and Police visited my home to SECTION me from a malicious report. This became the bane of the TERRORISM I faced from the time allegations were made at Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Hence I was a participant in Dr. Maria Hudson research paper for the Policy Studies Institute “The Experience of Multiple Discrimination” recommended to ACAS.
Because of time, my husband in the hospital, my attendance at court tomorrow and the HATE CRIMES am facing from the neighbours, the social media cyberbullying, I will ask you to do the RESEARCH about MERVELEE RATTY NEMBHARD-MYERS-TOMLINSON and contact me if you need to. Information can be found at https://fight4justiceadvocacy.business.site and all spaces that have not harvested my intellectual property, copyrights, images and CPPDP in making me a voiceless, vulnerable victim of the system that is the UK where the A-Z of abusers get protection to target me.

Download all Good afternoon Mervelee,
Thank you for confirming this! I can confirm you are eligible for the current study. I have attached the information sheet and consent form above: at your earliest convenience, please send me your signed consent form. Then, I will be able to send you the questionnaire link.
Please let me know if you have any questions or inquiries and once again, thank you for your participation. I look forward to hearing from you, have a lovely rest of your day!
Many thanks for your response! I just wanted to clarify before proceeding that you emailed regarding participation for the current low mood study HR/DP-23/24-4081 (recruitment ad attached above), or whether you were referring to another study. Please do let me know, and I will then send you the information sheet and consent form for the current study.
You don’t often get email from ratty.nembhard1956@gmail.com. Learn why this is important
Good afternoon,
Thanks for your quick response!
I was a participant in Dr Matcham’s research.
A period of low mood with the following symptoms.
I developed an Eating Disorder over a period of time. I have lost weight and some days I have no appetite.
I am not a morning person as I have to force myself out of bed because I have nothing to get up for. But if I am inspired via a vision, I will get up. Or if I have an appointment.
Because my job has been denied me, and I am pushed out everywhere I find myself, I experience being slow downed at times. Especially when I am DEPRESSED. I usually find something do when I am restless. Being fidgety is part of my DNA with Parkinson’s disease inherited from my father.
I guess because I have done Mental Health research and participated in other research, I have an idea what to expect.

All Universal Analytics services cease to function starting 1 July 2024 GA Google Analytics analytics-noreply@google.com
On 1 July 2024, Google Analytics 4 properties will have fully replaced Universal Analytics properties, as previously announced. From that date, Google will begin turning off all Universal Analytics services and Universal Analytics APIs, which means Universal Analytics properties will be inaccessible through the Google Analytics front end and APIs. If you haven’t completely migrated to Google Analytics 4 properties, follow the migration guide to start making the switch today.
Exporting your data To maintain access to data from your Universal Analytics property, you should download or export your data now. If this isn’t done through one of the methods provided in the Google Analytics Help Centre, your data will be permanently deleted by Google and won’t be recoverable. If you intend to use the BigQuery integration to export historical data from your Universal Analytics 360 property, we strongly recommend initiating this immediately.
Product integrations Universal Analytics data and settings accessed or used through advertiser, publisher or other product integrations will be unavailable when services have stopped. For example:
Universal Analytics goals and e-commerce transactions will stop measuring new conversions, including within linked advertising accounts. This may affect ad campaign performance if those conversions are used in combination with Smart Bidding. Universal Analytics audience lists will be closed, which may affect ad campaign media activation and performance. API requests related to Universal Analytics properties will fail, including requests for deletion of Universal Analytics data through the User Deletion API. This also means that tools relying on an API, such as Looker Studio, will not show any Universal Analytics data. BigQuery export and backfill of historical data from Universal Analytics 360 properties can only be requested up to and including 30 June 2024. Already exported data remains available in BigQuery. Attribution projects that were part of Attribution (beta) in Google Analytics will be deleted. Sincerely,
The Google Analytics Team

I hope you had a great Easter Break, and thank you so much for your promotional efforts over the bank holiday weekend. We’ve noticed the fantastic work, especially from those who tagged us, which is greatly appreciated.
With just under three weeks until our event, we urge everyone to ramp up their promotional activities. Unfortunately, some speakers did not participate in promotional efforts over the weekend despite this being agreed upon, as outlined in the speaking agreement, which constitutes a breach of our agreement. A separate email will be sent to those responsible. We aim to avoid drastic measures, such as removing anyone from the speaker line-up due to non-cooperation in promoting the event. This reminder does not apply to those with a pre-arranged agreement, but any additional support you can offer would be immensely appreciated.
Exclusive Opportunities for Increased Participation:
If you’re interested in increasing your stage time or securing a free business consultation with Des, we encourage you to share this link within your network.

Merchandise and Presentation Materials:
Ensure you have your business cards, flyers, and banners ready as you would have a table all day to share your products and services literature (this excludes the intro package for 2 minutes on stage speakers). We offer a comprehensive service for design, write-up, and delivery. Please let me know if you are interested in this as we design, print, and deliver your merchandise, and Des can even bring it to the hotel for you. This package also includes an hour consultation with Des.

Dear Speakers,
I hope this message finds you well. As we approach the excitement of our event scheduled for Saturday, 20th April, it has come to our attention that a few of our esteemed speakers have yet to participate in the promotional activities designated for the past weekend.
MM Response: I had a meeting with Des to explain my situation.
This communication serves as a final reminder concerning the obligation agreed upon to actively engage in promoting our event. Our collective effort in these promotions is crucial for ensuring a successful turnout. Reflecting on our past experiences since 2015, we have learned the importance of collective participation in these efforts. Des had outlined the expectations clearly during your briefing on the speaking engagements.
In keeping with our agreement, we seek speakers who are committed to being an integral part of our team, aiming for the event’s success. It is disheartening to observe a lack of participation from some, which not only undermines our collective efforts but also disrespects the hard work of those who have contributed.
Required Action:
To address this situation and before making any decisions about potential changes to our speaker line up, we kindly request your response to the following queries by Thursday, 4th April, 12:00 noon: MM Response: Am due in court on the 4th so am addressing this now. I have had a STRESS day because of situations beyond my concerns.
Promotional Efforts: Please detail the promotional activities you engaged in over the past weekend, including timings and any proof of participation. MM Response: I have been posting on my WordPress, Google My Business, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Now TikTok joined Facebook and suspended my account.
Reasons for Non-Participation: If you were unable to promote as agreed, please provide an explanation, referring to the speaker agreement and your promotional pack for guidance. MM Response: As soon as I updated Facebook after accepting Sarah Friend Request. Facebook ask for ID. Each ID was rejected and FB disabled my 18 pages account. LinkedIn suspended 3 accounts. I tried to get back in since I signed the agreement with Des, but am refused. I am further restricted because of my caring duties and my health issues. But I have been trying to do my best. I explained to Des.
Future Commitments: Outline your proposed plan for promotional activities leading up to the event, including specific actions, dates, and times. Note that all social media promotions should tag Des as previously mentioned. MM Response: Just bought myself new laptop and mobile phone to expand my online business. This will be extended to Jamaica. On 7th April 2024 there will be 2 events in Jamaica where I will be doing promotions leading up to the dates. I am a blogger using my different platforms. I started doing LIVE Broadcasting around the event and Early Intervention are Key to SURVIVAL. I am operating 2 YouTube channels and will be getting some professional videos done, leading up to the event. I publish on Twitter and Word Press and Google My Business.
Materials and Agreement:
It is important to remind that all necessary promotional materials were provided well in advance, with expectations clearly set for participation starting Friday, 29th March 2024, throughout the Bank Holiday weekend. MM Response: I am trying as best as I can fitting my caring duties and personal circumstances.
Should we not hear from you by the specified deadline, we will regretfully interpret this as a decision to withdraw from our speaker line-up—an outcome we earnestly wish to avoid. MM Response: I am responding now, so I don’t miss the deadline. I could have done more, if I did not have my personal circumstances and Facebook and TikTok disabling and suspending my accounts.
For those who have fulfilled these obligations, please disregard this notice and accept our gratitude for your ongoing support. Continue your excellent efforts in promoting our event. MM Response: I was prevented from fulfilling these obligations fully by circumstances beyond my control.
We cherish your contribution and are looking forward to making this event a memorable success together. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued cooperation. MM Response: Thanks for your understanding and continuing support during a difficult time in my life.

Dear Mervelee,
I wanted to reach out to you and share my experience with the Admiral Nurse Helpline, a service that wouldn’t be possible without your generosity. I cannot stress enough how truly invaluable the support I have received has been, especially in moments of crisis. And that’s thanks to you.
I called the Helpline when my mum, who lives with dementia, was becoming increasingly confused and distressed. I was filled with worry and concern but the Admiral Nurse’s advice helped me anticipate Mum’s sundowning and try to occupy her with other things before she got caught up in it.
Read how your generosity helped Penny >
“Over time, Mum’s dementia symptoms inevitably worsened. I really struggled with the decision to move her into a care home. Once again, the Helpline was a lifeline.” Penny
I don’t have any other professional support, so I couldn’t cope without the Helpline. Your kindness means there’s always someone to talk to when I need it. It means life hasn’t stopped because of Mum’s dementia diagnosis, and we can still spend time together doing the things we both enjoy. For that, I’ll always be grateful for your support of Dementia UK.
From me and Mum, everyone at Dementia UK and the families it supports – thank you for helping ensure no one faces dementia alone.
Best wishes,
Penny
PS It’s only because of generous people like you that Dementia UK can keep providing vital services for families facing dementia. Could you support more families like mine by making a donation?

Dear Mervelee,
Annual Cancer Insights Panel Social EventLast month we hosted our annual Cancer Insights Panel Hybrid Social. This event was to recognise member contributions, provide an opportunity to connect with other members and learn more about cancer research.
Helping us to understand the role of carersThe Health Information team inform and engage the public on how to reduce the risk of cancer, and the importance of early diagnosis and screening.Recently, the team worked together with us, to gather the experiences of unpaid carers and the barriers they face. This is part of a new project to understand the role of unpaid carers in helping those they look after to access and understand health information about cancer.
