#TOTW from 05-10-16 ‘#Intersex: celebrating the beauty in difference.’

Ciao!

Here we are again folks, with yet another week having passed us by! This week i’m giving a second chance to my tweet from Wednesday about what it means to be intersex, and so my #TOTW is:

“…the immediate work to be done is to educate people on what it means to be #intersex.” @intersexuk #LGBTI+http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/intersex-celebrating-the-beauty-in-difference-a7339656.html

“Human bodies don’t all fit the binary system of male and female. It’s not freaky, it’s just something that happens. It’s nature.”

Now it is a long article, but one I feel is worth the effort. I enjoyed reading it, and came out the the other end of it knowing more than I did before!

Go on, give it a go! #ReadLearnShare

Ciao!

This week another chance to check out the tweets related to #WorldHeartDay, so 3 x #TOTW for the price of one:

It’s 12 mins long, but by watching it YOU could save someone’s life! #DefibsSaveLives #WhatWouldYouDo? @CardiacSmart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwjeFkB7eaI#action=share

It’s important to be aware of the #ChainOfSurvival #CPR #WhatWouldYouDo? @CardiacSmart @ResusCouncilUK http://www.cardiacsmart.nwas.nhs.uk/about-us/chain-of-survival/#.V-xHD9R4WhD … 

 

Did you know the difference? I didn’t! #WorldHeartDay #WhatWouldYouDo? @SCoRMembers @WeAHPs @CardiacSmart On #WorldHeartDay share this image to raise awareness about the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest

Hopefully you’ll never need to put this knowledge into action, but one day you may just be able to save someone’s life if you take the time to take a look at it!

Please, please, please #ReadLearnShare!
