Today is world heart day. I decided to volunteer to be monitored on my dance science course in a VO 2 max exercise called the DAFT. I have #hEDS and interestingly hands we’re painful and going black after warm up but after anaerobic capacity was achieved they were better.🤷‍♀️ https://t.co/vaJGuYW4Ct

Happy World Heart Day to our special boy… he’s an absolute one of a kind! Life isn’t always easy but Nathan would never let anyone know that. He continues to be the most crazy, enthusiastic and loveable boy that he can be. I hope he knows just how special he is ❤️ #ToFWarrior https://t.co/2QThimMBY5
