Euthanasia - a topic that will divide and scare some people who are either Pro-Euthanasia or completely against it. Should a persons life should end when it ends, as nature intended? Or should Voluntary Euthanasia be available to those with diminished quality of life?
Read MoreWe held the fundraiser on the 30th of June and it was a raging success. We had an approximate head count of around 110 people to help raise money and awareness for MS. It was more then we could've imagined for an event with only a month and a half of planning. We had more then enough delicious food so everyone would've left satisfied thats for sure! Everyone wore a splash of red and it just made the event look even more amazing.
Read MoreI have been using my Osteopath Dr John White, the Founder of Osteoworks, for many many years and he has helped me though my back pain, neck pain and pins and needles in my feet with great success.

Read MoreNever underestimate the power of just talking. I don't mean gossiping with your bestie or chatting about who was up for elimination on the biggest loser but really talking about things like how your feeling. I've since learnt that saying that I was ok wasn't hiding the fact that I really was not ok. Pretending like nothing had changed when in actual fact everything has changed wasn't helping me deal with and accept my diagnosis.
