In her TEDxSaintThomas talk entitled "Can adventure change how we talk about rape?", Claire will reveal the power that stories hold in breaking silence and opening the path to healing, how it is possible to not only survive but thrive in the face of adversity, and that by running beaches around the world, she will unite communities and change how we talk about rape forever. Claire McFarlane is a South-African born Australian and founder of Footsteps To Inspire. She is currently on a mission to run over 3000 kilometres of beach across 184 countries to support survivors of sexual violence. It is a world first, both as an expedition and social cause. Claire knows how hard it is to be a survivor because she is one. Through peaceful outreach and sharing her own personal story, Claire is fast becoming a voice of hope and inspiration to many. She will be running in Grand Cayman on Saturday 8th February 2020.

World Cancer Day every 4 February is the global uniting initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). By raising worldwide awareness, improving education and catalysing personal, collective and government action, we're working together to reimagine a world where millions of preventable cancer deaths are saved and access to life-saving cancer treatment and care is equal for all - no matter who you are or where you live.

Join us on 4 February and speak out and stand up for a cancer-free world. Because, progress is possible. It's not inevitable.

It’s been over 20 years since V-Day was founded, since Eve Ensler's play "The Vagina Monologues" shattered taboos, sharing the stories of women as they had never been told before.

A look at sailing in the Cayman Islands, from its utilitarian roots with schooners and catboats, to club racing and Olympic competitors.

This World AIDS Day we've made a dance video where groups across the UK show you how to #RocktheRibbon Together. And it's set to the cool 1980s sound of A Little Respect by Erasure.

The Rock the Ribbon Together campaign urges people to stand in solidarity with people living with HIV, raise awareness and donations, challenge stigma, and end loneliness and isolation.

The Rock the Ribbon Together video uses Erasure’s song A Little Respect. It features members of Gay Men’s Dance Company and Queer Tango London dancing together using red ribbons – the global symbol of HIV awareness – to show they are standing together with people living with HIV.

The video and campaign builds on NAT’s World AIDS Day 2018 Rock the Ribbon video narrated by Stephen Fry and featuring a solo dance by Sherrie Silver, who choreographed Childish Gambino’s Grammy-winning hit This Is America.

The Cayman Islands Fencing Federation was recently recognised by the Cayman Islands Olympic Committee as the official governing body for the sport locally, and it’s undertaking a grass roots instructional campaign in the hope of sending a competitor to the Summer Olympics in 2024.

Logan Ryan Golema, the chairman of the Cayman Islands Fencing Federation, has spent half his life in the sport and believes it’s a great path to instilling honour, integrity and solidarity. Golema fenced at the college level, and he loves the idea of introducing the sport he loves to his new home.

“I saw the opportunity to bring a new sport to the island because fencing hasn’t been here as an Olympic sport before,” he said. “It’s something new to do. Something exciting. When I tell people we’re fencing in the Cayman Islands, they’re like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know that was happening here.’”

The federation is still in its first month as a full-time pursuit, and it has begun reaching out to many of the local schools in the hope of finding students looking for a brand new activity. Golema said he has held free demonstrations and trial lessons, and he hopes to visit Cayman Prep in October.

Type 2 diabetes accounts for around 90% of all people living with diabetes. It most commonly affects adults but is increasingly seen in children and adolescents. Unlike type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes can be prevented. The first step to preventing type 2 diabetes is knowing your risk.

For World Diabetes Day (14 November) and diabetes awareness month 2019, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) is partnering with Lions Clubs International to encourage everyone to learn about their risk of type 2 diabetes through a simple online test.
