Did you know that today is National White Cane Awareness Day?

Today is White Cane Awareness Day! 👨‍🦯

Offering confidence, safety, and freedom, the white cane can unlock a world of possibilities for many people who are blind or partially sighted.

With many different styles, cane tips, and colours, the white cane is not only an important navigation tool, but a symbol that identifies, strengthens, and empowers the blind community.

Image Description: A photo of a young boy holding a white cane with a ball tip and wearing winter apparel. While the photo of the boy is in colour, with a soft yellow glow around him, the rest of the background appears in black and white. The text on the image reads: "White Cane Awareness Day".

Now before you poo poo this video, please have a listen so that you can learn all about Ostomy and this life changing surgery.
My friend Andrea Manson and I have a discussion about this topic. She is a retired Ostomy nurse, and she explains it all very well.
If you could listen to this episode, it would mean a lot to me, because this situation happened to me and you may know someone with an ostomy. Let us know what you think in the comments.
