Letsbewheel

Letsbewheel Hi! My name is Lewis, I am the founder of Lets be Wheel, a space dedicated to disability advocacy and supporting those with long-term conditions.

Let’s Be Wheel is a movement dedicated to raising awareness, breaking stigma, and advocating for accessibility and inclusion for those with long-term conditions and disabilities. Living with long-term cancer has shown me firsthand the challenges of accessibility, inclusion, and daily life with a disability. I want to use my voice to inspire change, share stories, and connect with others who understand.

Sometimes the best way to unwind after a hospital appointment is to take a completely random detour…

And if you know me, you’ll know I’m incredibly spontaneous! Leading to random ass adventures up and down the country! 😂

This time we’re off to a beautiful, ancient and mysterious antique shop…

Floor after floor, corridors leading into more corridors, rooms absolutely packed with old furniture, random dead ends… and the occasional moment where I genuinely wondered whether I’d accidentally wandered into the beginning of a horror film. 😰

Hospital appointments can take a lot out of you mentally, even once you’ve physically left the building. Your brain doesn’t necessarily leave the appointment at the same time you do.

I’ve started really appreciating these little spontaneous stops on the journey home. Somewhere to explore, something completely different to focus on, and a chance to let my head unwind before going back to normal life.

Although I’m not sure getting lost in a creepy antique labyrinth is the medically recommended way of doing that. 😂

But hey, you do you right.

So next time you’re feeling like your mental health has taken a hit from that lengthy or deep appointment, take the long way home and see where it takes ya! ♿️🧡

It’s taken me a little while to get this video out and that’s due to two things. The wording being one of them but confidence being another.

For a while I started to notice I was hiding behind this platform as if a facade. Videos were becoming a chore to create and that’s when I really started noticing a shift in my mental health.

I love creating for let’s be wheel! I love creating for all of my platforms and so when that becomes something I start to not enjoy, there’s almost always an underlying issue!

This time around it took me a lot longer to see it. I guess I thought I was past my mental struggles? And maybe that was an incredibly naive way to think BUT I did take action and asked for counselling again.

Thankfully my rep at the teenage cancer trust was able to set it in motion for me and, through the NHS! Which is bloody brilliant! I’m now about 5-6 sessions in and it’s going well!

I have a long road ahead of me, the stuff I’m working through is very deep routed but I do now believe that I can get through it. And so that I will!

Remember, it’s absolutely okay to reach out to those you trust when you’re not doing good! Asking for help when you need it, is always a good thing!

I’m beyond proud to share this news with you all!! 🧡😁

Tonight I’ll be co-hosting the very first Teenage & Young Adult Peer Support Session with the Bone Cancer Research Trust.

When I was diagnosed with bone cancer at aged 8, a space to meet others with bone cancer, to share experiences, support one another etc didn’t exist! And that made me feel even more isolated and alone in my battles!

Which is exactly why I’ve always dreamt of creating something like this very group!!

I’m so so chuffed it’s finally come to fruition and I cannot wait to see how it goes!!

If this session helps just one person feel a little less isolated, it’ll all be worth it.

Thank you to the Bone Cancer Research Trust for trusting me to be part of something so important. Here’s to the first of many. 🦴😁

When you’re going through something as overwhelming as cancer, you expect support from oncologists, nurses, and specialists.

What I didn’t expect was some of the most meaningful support coming from the plaster department.

They weren’t trained to support cancer patients. It wasn’t their role. But they took the time to listen, care, and make a difficult period feel a little less lonely.

It’s a reminder that sometimes the people who leave the biggest impact aren’t the ones you’d expect.

To everyone who showed kindness along the way, thank you. You helped more than you’ll ever know.

Living with long-term illness has taught me that we all need a helping hand sometimes. Today it wasn’t a person that needed support, it was a big ol bumblebee

After my first appointment, I wasn’t really sure what to think or how to feel.

What I wasn’t expecting was a small act of kindness from a supermarket worker that completely changed my day.

It’s funny how the things we remember most aren’t always the appointments, tests, or treatments. Sometimes it’s the people who show compassion when you need it most.

To the supermarket worker who took the time to be kind, thank you. You’ll probably never know how much that meant.

Cancer Counselling...

This is the third time I’ve seen a counsellor in my life. But this time it’s different. I’m actually going to discuss my cancer, my leg and medical things that have been eating me alive for years.

I cut the video short to reach more people but I really do feel confident after this first initial assessment session that these meetings will start to help push change in myself.

Am I not afraid anymore? Of course not, I still very much am. And things won’t change after just one or two sessions

But it’s the beginning of change, and I’m here for it.
