Hi Mumsnet, I’m an Independent councillor on LCC. My name is Sarah Field and I’m a huge follower of Mumsnet Feminists.

Anyway am just putting a call out for anyone who still wants to buy a WPUK ticket for this Friday. Venue will be released in the afternoon. Unfortunately I’m not well enough to be on the panel, but would love to see the venue packed to the rafters and looking forward to listening to some amazing women.

Due to a shock cancer diagnosis in early July I’ve had to drop the mantle due to chemotherapy and a rough few months. But slowly I want to get back momentum and take back the fight against Leeds misogyny and its sex trade.

Unfortunately I can’t make the event, but I just wanted to add to the well earned chorus of thanks for all that you have done. Am in awe of your bravery and wish you all the very best.

Hi Sarah - I can’t get to Leeds on Friday, but I hope the meeting is a big success. And I particularly want to thank you for your speech in May, which was the best I’ve ever heard on this subject, and to wish you a very very full and quick recovery.

Hi Sarah, you're a legend and a fighter. I'm nowhere near Leeds but it's going to be an incredible event and I wish I could be there, I hope to get news from some friends who are going.

Strength to you, especially for the battle against the cancer. Cancer is the bitchiest of bitches.

Are you really Sarah Field?! An absolute heroine around these parts! I will find links to threads singing your praises in a minute, but would just like to say as an American—I wish I could come to the meeting, and I wish ANY US politician had your guts and gumption and integrity.

Wishing you all the strength in the world for a complete remission.

I'm nowhere near Leeds but your speech at another event became somewhat legendary here on MN, and I know we were devastated to hear of your diagnosis. Wishing you all the very best.
