Just a reminder that it's World Aids Day today!

'Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done'.

'There are now 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35'.

Wear your Red Ribbon and raise awareness

Is there anyone selling the Red Ribbons in Thurso? I might have missed them but so far I have not seen any.

I did wonder why they were all wearing red ribbons on the tv over the weekend.
