Think kidney disease is rare? Don't Kid Yourself.

It's serious and lifelong. And more than 1 million people in the UK have kidney disease but don’t know it. Discover the symptoms here > https://www.worldkidneyday.co.uk/check

DAY 1541 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK

Today I was lucky to be selected to carry the 🇬🇧.The symbol of my country.A country that has shown no support or acknowledgement to its athletes. We have shown strength, commitment, pride in the face of blatant discrimination

It must stop

DAY 1536 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisa_nandy @TNLUK

DAY 3 here in #Tokyo

What a venue. Training in this pool. The pool of the #Olympic games. Still no support from the Government or National Lottery. I remember reading the posts of thanks to the players from athletes. How different it was

Things are happening @reecedinsdale.bsky.social

This is a wrong that desperately needs putting right.
Come on, #LisaNandy… make the difference to these deaf athletes. Change their lives. You have the power.
Take the chance to be useful to someone!

If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ?
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
The old two-party monopoly is dead.
Be part of the change. ✊💚

DAY 1474 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK

#time. Hours of training sacrificed to campaign & raise money to compete in the 2nd longest running multi sporting event in the world Deaflympics. This blatant discrimination has been the biggest & hardest fight standing in their silence

Chronic Stress Quietly Speeds Up Immune Aging and Depression Glyceraldehyde links chronic stress to depression by driving inflammation and telomere shortening, offering a potential biomarker for diagnosis and treatment.

It wasn’t that long ago I was told that my campaign was upsetting people. That they were becoming frustrated with me. That I wasn’t telling the truth. Well it seems they were the ones not speaking the truth. All I did was ask for fairness. Now I’m not alone. It’s happening

We will be heard

Why the UK is a two-tier society where money wields power Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.

UK benefit fraud prosecutions are 23 times more than for tax offences. Tax fraud up to nine times higher than benefit fraud.

Laws against the rich are not always enforced.

Govt taking powers to snoop on bank accounts of benefit claimants. Same won't apply to tax abusers, scammers.

It is class war

DAY 1430 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK

Looking forward to meeting with Culture, Media & Sport Committee to share the unforgivable treatment of deaf athletes. Funded by @DCMS & @TNLUK the discrimination hides our existence & our future.

It’s time

The theatre had to seek permission from him in order to cast me. Because we knew one another he was happy to sanction it. I did chat with him about it but he was unfortunately unable to see the production.
His typical response was ‘You’re too good looking to play me.’
Not true, but so very Alan. 🙌

Absolutely disgraceful that there continues to be no support for deaf athletes,what more does Nathan have to do to get people to listen and act on this discrimination against deaf athletes.Change the policy to allow funding/ support for deaf athletes.

DAY 1378 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK

Well today I dedicate to @reecedinsdale.bsky.social. Not sure what I would have done without his support this week. I’m just a swimmer who’s deaf & wants to represent my country but a policy hides my existence. He lent me a ladder #equality

Where I live, daily walks on this beach rain, hail or sunshine #northumberland😊

I can think of nothing better than being able to give a healthy organ to improve the life of another person.🫘💙

Absolutely, Prostate cancer spread very quickly in my stubborn father who wouldn’t visit GP even though his brothers died of the same. My GP is excellent have PSA yearly and a scan recently as my brothers have prostate c.
I’m clear so men get tested ASAP via GP prostate cancer the silent killer.
