SUMMARY:International Stuttering Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:Today is International Stuttering Awareness Day. While many people may develop a #Stutter in childhood\, it is quite common for them to “grow out” it as they age. However\, this doesn’t make a stutter any less of a challenge for the individuals who live with a stutter. \nFortunately\, there are resources for people who develop a stutter and treatments which range from creating a safe environment where people with a stutter can feel more confident\, to strategies that increase fluency and help to develop communication skills. \nTogether\, we can build a more inclusive world where every voice is valued. 💚 \n  \nSource: NHS \n#InternationalStutteringAwarenessDay \nFind Out More About International Stuttering Day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Stuttering_Awareness_Day

SUMMARY:National Pumpkin Day

Pumpkin pies are an essential Thanksgiving staple for Americans as pumpkins represent everything cosy and loved about Autumn. \n\nPumpkins Trivia\n\n\n\nPumpkins come in many different colours like orange\, pink\, white\, red\, green\, and even blue pumpkins! They also come in different sizes\, one of the smallest varieties being called the ‘Jack-be-little’.\nThe world’s heaviest pumpkin was grown in Italy in 2021. It was over 17ft in circumference and weighed 1226kg\, the equivalent of an average of ten baby elephants!\nThe most expensive pumpkin seed was bought for £1250 (or $1\,481 in Aug 2022). It was taken from a world record-breaking pumpkin and bought by the company Thompson & Morgan in the hope of breaking a new record.\nIllinois is the state that produces the most pumpkins in the USA. The city of Morton IL is known as the Pumpkin Capital of the World since it has a factory responsible for packaging 85% of the world’s canned pumpkins.\nAccording to a survey\, pumpkin is America’s favourite Thanksgiving pie filling\, with 36% of people preferring it other fillers.

SUMMARY:World Stroke Day
DESCRIPTION:One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime. And 90% of those strokes could be prevented by addressing a small number of risk factors including high blood pressure (hypertension)\, irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)\, smoking\, diet and exercise. \nJoin us on October 29th to drive public awareness of stroke symptoms and the need to #ActFAST. With 1 in 4 of us at risk of stroke in our lifetime\, it’s in everyone’s interest to know the signs of stroke. Time lost is brain lost and seeking emergency care as soon as symptoms are spotted saves lives and can enable treatments that improve our chances of a full recovery. \n#WorldStrokeDay is focused primarily on prevention with a focus on getting a health check to identify and help manage key risk factors for stroke \n\nhypertension\nsmoking\natrial fibrillation\ncholesterol\ndiabetes\n\nCheck for signs of a stroke\nThe main symptoms of a stroke can happen suddenly. They may include: \n\nface weakness – one side of your face may droop (fall) and it might be hard to smile\narm weakness – you may not be able to fully lift both arms and keep them there because of weakness or numbness in 1 arm\nspeech problems – you may slur your words or sound confused\n\nThe easiest way to remember these symptoms is the word FAST. This stands for: face\, arms\, speech and time to call 999. \n#ActFast \nSources:  World Stroke Day 2026 | World Stroke Organization \nSymptoms of a stroke – NHS \n
