A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes.
\nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers, bryophytes, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown.<\/p>\n

Over the last 80 years, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants, lower levels of grazing, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown, rare wildlife has declined.<\/p>\n

The day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay.<\/p>\n

Sands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT\/UK\/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The \u00a34 million project, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW), will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes, across four Special Areas of Conservation, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT\/UK\/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England, Plantlife, Natural Resources Wales, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme.

of the Seafarer 2024","description":"

June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer, an annual and international event day coordinated by the International Maritime Organisation.
\nLast year’s Day of the Seafarer celebrated seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone. This year the Day will recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade, the world economy and civil society as a whole, with the theme Seafarers Matter’.<\/p>\n

The day recognises the unique and vital role of seafarers in the global community, and the United Nations recognise the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day.<\/p>\n

The Day of the Seafarer was established in 2010 by by a resolution adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila. The revised International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers, for their safety, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this. The convention’s aim was to recognise the contribution by seafarers to society and economy globally.<\/p>\n

The resolution encourages governments, shipping firms, companies associated with sea trade and others, to promote and uphold sea trade and seafarers through the Day of the Seafarer.<\/p>\n

The day encourages international public and official conversation about seafarers and seafaring, and the well-being of those involved in it, and interactive media relating to the Day of the Seafarer has proved extremely popular around the world, for example quizzes and interactive maps, videos and photo galleries, and social media hashtags and discussions. The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online.<\/p>\n

Leading up to the 25 June, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"day-of-the-seafarer-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2.jpg","id":49778,"extension":"jpg","width":2560,"height":1440,"filesize":364898,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":169,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12612,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-300x169.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":86075,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1024x576.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6982,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":432,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":54565,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-768x432.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":864,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":163746,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1536x864.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1152,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":252831,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-2048x1152.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":30924,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15699,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":52637,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2452,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":113,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6787,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-200x113.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":225,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":19687,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-400x225.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":338,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":37471,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-600x338.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":450,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":59188,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-800x450.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":675,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":111554,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1200x675.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":55289,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27310,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27634,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15469,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7570,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-06-25

Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2024","description":"

Yes, it may not have the snappiest title but the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a key plank in the United Nations’ war on drugs.
\nOriginally instigated by a resolution of a special session on drugs of the UN’s General Assembly in 1987, the annual awareness day was founded to mark the centenary of China’s early efforts to combat the trade in opium – widely regarded as the start of the international war on drugs.<\/p>\n

Celebrated each year on June 26th, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime uses the commemorative day to highlight the dangers of drug use and their illegal trade and provides educational material to teachers and public officials all over the world to help spread the message about the extreme cultural and economic harm the trade in drugs is still doing across the globe one hundred years after the war on drugs was initially launched in Shanghai around the start of the 20th Century.<\/p>\n

The importance of the strategy was reinforced when the UN decided to hold a General Assembly on drugs to mark a milestone in the progress of an earlier policy document which called on members states to combat both drug demand and supply, while improving access to treatment for addicts.<\/p>\n

Look Sharp on International Sunglasses Day!<\/p>\n

Anyone who enjoys spending time in the sun and wants to look cool while protecting their eyes is sure to have fun on International Sunglasses Day. The event takes place on June 27th and a number of events are organised by the Vision council to help promote the importance of wearing sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Research has shown that people who do not wear sunglasses risk doing substantial damage to their eyes due to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. Even on cloudy days, sunlight can still be strong enough to cause lasting damage to the eyes, which means that it is important to wear sunglasses or another form of UV eye protection at all times.<\/p>\n

To help celebrate and promote International Sunglasses Day, the Vision Council is encouraging both groups and individuals to get involved by taking photographs of themselves wearing sunglasses. These photos can be shared on various social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook with the hashtags #SunglassSelfie and #NationalSunglassesDay.<\/p>\n

These days sunglasses come in just about every style imaginable as well as a broad spectrum of prices, which means that there is sure to be the perfect pair to suit anyone. Tinted contact lenses with built in UV protection are also available in both permanent and disposable types, while people who wear eyeglasses can also find special vari-tint sunglasses that become darker according to the amount of sunlight that they are exposed to as well as sunglasses that clip onto the frames of regular eyeglasses whenever they are

Awareness Month 2024","description":"

Sarcoma Awareness Month runs for the whole of July. We’ve included a few details about Sarcoma below but there is lots of information to found here .
\nSarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the muscle, bone, nerves, cartilage, tendons, blood vessels and the fatty and fibrous tissues.<\/p>\n

They can affect almost any part of the body, on the inside or the outside.<\/p>\n

Sarcomas commonly affect the arms, legs and trunk. They also appear in the stomach and intestines as well as behind the abdomen (retroperitoneal sarcomas) and the female reproductive system (gynaecological sarcomas).<\/p>\n

Bone sarcomas affect less than 500 people in the UK each year, making it a very rare form of cancer. Not all bone cancers will be sarcomas.<\/p>\n

Soft tissue sarcomas can affect any part of the body; they develop in supporting or connective tissue such as the muscle, nerves, fatty tissue, and blood vessels. Soft tissue sarcomas include:<\/p>\n

GIST is a common type of sarcoma; it develops in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, a long tube running through the body from the oesophagus (gullet) to the anus (back passage) and includes the stomach and intestines.<\/p>\n

Gynaecological sarcomas (sometimes shortened to gynae sarcomas) occur in the female reproductive system: the uterus (womb), ovaries, vagina, vulva and fallopian tubes. You may also hear the term uterine sarcoma. They can affect women of any age.<\/p>\n

Retroperitoneal sarcomas occur in the retroperitoneum. This is an area behind the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal space that covers the abdominal organs. The retroperitoneum is deep in the abdomen and pelvis, behind the abdominal lining, where organs such as the major blood vessels, kidneys, pancreas and bladder are located.<\/p>\n

Sarcoma is very rare, and much more research needs to be done to fully understand how these cancers develop and how best to diagnose and treat them.<\/p>\n

People can survive sarcoma if their cancer is diagnosed early, when treatments can be effective and before the sarcoma has spread to other parts of the body. It is vital that patients be referred to a specialist sarcoma team as early as possible.<\/p>\n

Facts and figures<\/p>\n

There are three main types of sarcoma: soft tissue sarcoma, bone sarcoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST).<\/p>\n

There are around 100 different sub-types of sarcoma<\/p>\n

10 people every day are diagnosed with sarcoma in the UK<\/p>\n

About 3,800 new cases of sarcoma are diagnosed each year in the UK which makes up approximately 1% of all cancer diagnoses<\/p>\n

Every year 3,330 people are diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma (including GIST)<\/p>\n

500 people are diagnosed with a bone sarcoma every year<\/p>\n

In general, patients with a bone or soft tissue diagnosis tend to be younger than the majority of cancer patients. 16% of bone or soft tissue sarcomas are diagnosed in patients less than thirty years of age, compared to around 2% of all cancers. 37% of bone or soft tissue sarcoma patients are aged less than 50 years.<\/p>\n

Sarcomas make up 15% of all childhood cancers (0-14 years) and 11% of all cancer diagnoses in teenagers and young people (15-24 years)<\/p>\n

In Scotland, 350 new cases of sarcoma are diagnosed each year (200 soft tissue, 100 bone sarcoma and 50 GIST)<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"sarcoma-awareness-month-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1.jpg","id":49808,"extension":"jpg","width":2121,"height":1414,"filesize":145872,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6667,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-300x200.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":683,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":56833,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-1024x683.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":3171,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":32325,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-768x512.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":132030,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-1536x1024.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1365,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":228415,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-2048x1365.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":16289,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7044,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":26054,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":1425,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":133,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":3831,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-200x133.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":267,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":10337,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-400x267.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":20476,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-600x400.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":533,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":35105,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-800x533.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":800,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":78525,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-1200x800.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":31592,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13602,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12689,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6807,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":3472,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1320947841-1-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-07-01

Day 2024","description":"

Far from a celebration of independence, Canada Day marks the anniversary of Canada being united into one country as part of the British Empire, combining the three areas of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into a shiny new package. No longer a dominion of the UK but a proud member of the Commonwealth, Canada still retains the Queen as its head of state, putting Liz’s face on their dollars.
\nIf you’re Canadian or know someone who is, you’ll have plenty to look forward to wherever you are in the world. Canada’s famously friendly folk host parties, concerts, carnivals, festivals and so much more to mark Canada Day, and some people even celebrate citizenship ceremonies.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"canada-day-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1.jpg","id":49810,"extension":"jpg","width":2128,"height":1409,"filesize":129655,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":199,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12567,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-300x199.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":678,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":98791,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-1024x678.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":4742,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":509,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":59533,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-768x509.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1017,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":193913,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-1536x1017.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1356,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":299931,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-2048x1356.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":32458,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13290,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":49239,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2019,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":132,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6876,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-200x132.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":265,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":19474,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-400x265.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":397,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":38736,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-600x397.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":530,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":64209,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-800x530.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":795,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":129467,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-1200x795.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":60793,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":26896,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":24172,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12843,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6297,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-07-01
