The benefits of physical activity cannot be over-emphasised. Recent study shows that it is possible to outrun #depression. Just 15 minutes running or 1 hour brisk walking a day.

"Does physical activity protect against depression? Or does depression simply reduce physical activity?" Great approach using genetic data from Dr. @karmelchoi @HarvardChanSPH and team in @JAMAPsych! health.harvard.edu/newslette…

I cannot even comprehend the way this little boy feels. This has really changed his life, maybe even his generations
This 8 year-old boy in Togo was born blind, deaf, and mute. He lived in total darkness and silence his whole life. After our volunteer SEE doc, Dr. Kondrot, operated on him, he saw light for the first time ever!! It's a miracle that he is no longer living in darkness.
