http://vimeo.com/10110907 Cervical Cancer Prevention week is: 20 – 26 January 2013 I really had to get involved with this one. I really had no right to let it go past. I’m not going to go in detail with the symptoms of cervical cancer as this is prevention week, but if you want to find out [...]
Ok, the Daily Mail isn’t my favourite newspaper and this is one topic that will always be close to my heart (and the blog). That aside, a friend showed me an article from today on page 15. In a nutshell, it is talking about the prevalence of children in our society who are affected [...]
