A lady stopped me today to comment on my front garden which looks fabulously lovely at the moment.

She said she has changed her morning walk route to always come by our garden because it’s gorgeous and makes her feel so calm and at peace.

It is well known that having access to a lovely garden can improve mental and physical health.

Feeling a little stressed, sad, tired, unhappy? Get out into the garden or a local park and look at some flowers. Hope you have some nearby.

Back out this morning, running on my home terrain after three fabulous weeks exploring Hong Kong and Vietnam.

My motivation right now?�The Team Relay in two weeks with my team Hope in Motion… and something even closer to my heart.

Last night, I was chatting with my grandchildren about the hen do their mum is at this weekend.�Granddaughter 3 : “I’m going to the next hen do.”�Me: Well, I’ll be coming to yours too!”�Grandson 6, looked at me and said, very matter of factly, “I don’t think so, Grandma… you’ll be gone.”
Me: Gone? Gone where?�Him: “You know… just gone.”

Perspective, straight from a 6-year-old.

So here’s why I lace up my trainers, even when I don’t feel like it:
�I want to be here. I want to be strong, fit, and full of life running around with those little ones for as long as possible.

Health isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up today so you can still show up tomorrow.
�What’s your reason to stay healthy?�Find it. Hold onto it. And let it get you moving today, even if it’s just one small step.

On March 12, Nil Karaarslan, Master’s student at the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), received the Marian Aldred Award from Think Pink Lux, supporting her innovative research on genetically engineered NK cells for breast cancer treatment.
During a ceremony held at LIH, Think Pink Lux presented a €30,000 grant to support Nil’s project exploring how cancer cells may develop resistance to new immunotherapies known as CAR-NK cells.
These immune cells are engineered to specifically recognise and destroy tumour cells, offering promising perspectives for more effective cancer treatments.

I often get asked about staying fit whilst travelling. I always pack my running shoes and a swim costume and love it if I can explore my locality with a run, ride or a good walk. We have done all those things, clocked up the steps, admired the beautiful nature and enjoyed fresh food.

Starting today with a run in the rice fields in Vietnam! Gotta keep those legs moving in preparation for team run in a few weeks.

Followed by a protein fuelled breakfast- Pho is the quintessential Vietnamese breakfast dish, a clear bone broth which I had with chicken, noodles, herbs and salted egg.

What are you doing today for your health?

We don’t have a knowledge gap in health. We have an activation gap.

People know what supports their health, but often lack the confidence, structure, and support to act on it.

‘Take the Lead on Your Health’ addresses this directly, helping individuals move from awareness to action through practical guidance and access to health coaching support.

If we are serious about prevention and whole-person health and wellbeing, this is where it becomes real.
