Aarrgh a 100 word challenge? But I am have verbal diarrhoea! This is for Save The Children (STC) and their work to end the health worker crisis. I spend a day with STC yesterday and heard about the challenges and problems in places like Sudan and East Africa. Read more about it from Save The Children or from read what other bloggers Mummy From the Heart.

Now to the challenge:
Then the challenge set by @HelloItsGemma and I is that we want (need) to see 100 posts of 100 words linked up here by Tuesday. If 100 bloggers each write a post about this and encourage more signatures that could make a massive dent in the 20,000 signature shortfall that we sit with right now!

My Feeble 100 words:
Not one health care professional in my life stands out. Hardly surprising… especially here in the UK, where we have access to not one, but TEAMS of healthcare professionals. As a child, I had my tonsils removed. Not one but 10s of people were involved in that process. When I had my children, again I was supported not by one, but 10s of people. I am lucky. I live in a country where there are 1000s who will care for me. There are people out there who never receive ANY medical help. We can help them. We must help them.

Now it is your turn… go on. Sign the petition and write your 100 words! You know you want to help, don’t you?
It’s easy to forget actually how many health workers have been there at some point or other throughout out lives. I have such greater appreciation for them after reading all these posts, sorry to have taken them for granted in the past x
Yes, The Save The Children conference at the weekend really was an eye opener/ reminder of how lucky we are here!
