Leigh Walmsley PLY 🏹

I was very kindly asked by @Arthritis_ACTN to record a podcast about my journey with arthritis and how I became a Paralympian (and how I want to create an Arthritis Games!) 🏹🎙️♿️ S3 E8 - An Interview with a Paralympian youtu.be/j61BkyBmeTU?si… via @YouTube #ProudParalympian

An 87-year-old woman shares the secret to feeling young forever "I'm 87. I don't feel 87. I don't think 87. Sometimes I feel 60, sometimes 50, sometimes 22. The most important thing: stay involved. Use your brain. Interact with people. Have conversations with younger generations. Do I have things wrong with me? Of course. So what? Everybody does. I'm lucky — I wake up every morning knowing who I am, where I am, and having a purpose. Be aware. Be part of the world. Move your body. Take care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally. Screw the idea that 'old is terrible.' Get up and live." Pure inspiration from someone who's living proof. 1:00 clip inside — watch and feel the energy.

Good morning Twitter

@lippyent My dad always did it for my mom, but when the siblings were young and walking to say, the corner store, the eldest ones walked on the roadside and held hands crossing the road.

Ever hear of this growing up? Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

What a nice day to spend under a sakura, eating bento, chatting with friends and a cheeky little kanpai ☀️🌸🍱🍶 #hanami #はなみ

@JapanSocietyNW Perfect day for Hanami!🌸🍱🍶

The 2025 JSNW Hanami at Calderstones Park in Liverpool was glorious! Perfect weather, great friends and fabulous food from Hajime Sushi! #jsnw #sakura #hanami #calderstones #cherryblossomviewing

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay, marking five years since the pandemic began. Our Long Covid Peer Support Group participated in the #MyLongCovidRock project, Raising Awareness, One Small Rock at a Time #LongCovidAwareness

“We know that over two million people in England and Scotland have #LongCovid, and if you think there are only [around 68] million people in the UK, then that's a huge proportion of people that are being ignored.” -@SarahBarleyMc independent.co.uk/news/health/lo…

Today, we honour Ondine. Every post we share on #LongCovidAwarenessDay is dedicated to our co-founder, friend, inspiration & relentless advocate, Ondine Sherwood. Her passion, determination, & unwavering fight for recognition & support have left an indelible mark on the world.

On Thursday, the Long Covid Peer Support Group at @WDPcomms created their #mylongcovidrock to commerate 5 years of the pandemic and the solidarity of the Long Covid community. @LongCovidSOS @LongCovidKids #LCKRocks #LongCOVIDAwareness2025 #LongCovidAwarenessDay
