National Animal Advocacy Day, celebrated on April 30 every year, is a special day to honor, respect, and celebrate every animal advocate who works tirelessly to save animals from abuse, exploitation, and cruelty. Did you know that in the United States, millions of animals are abused to death annually? Yes, according to statistics, annually, over 10 million animals in the United States die of abuse. In fact, more shocking statistics reveal that one animal is abused every minute in the world. This is why the work that animal advocates across the world do to promote the protection and rescue of animals is so important.
Undiagnosed Children’s Awareness Day
Undiagnosed Children’s Awareness Day, which is observed every last Friday in April, and April 24 this year, is aimed at raising awareness of undiagnosed genetic diseases present in children. Each year, approximately 6,000 children in the United Kingdom are born with a syndrome without a name, a genetic disorder so uncommon that it is likely to go misdiagnosed. Children who aren’t diagnosed end up having a lot of medical appointments, and tests carried out, leaving their parents concerned that they won’t get the help that they need.

All around the world and at the same time!” The holiday places a strong emphasis on belongingness among the parkour community worldwide.
