Life, Interrupted
Health and fitness are all about staying proactive…and, let’s face it, being lucky. Sometimes, life events interrupt our best efforts. Experiences out of our control, disruptions as petty as a common cold, keep us out of the game. But there are occurrences that have the potential to de-rail us for more than just a few days: circumstances that threaten to take our mental and physical well-being and shatter them into a million little pieces.
In North America, one in four women will experience sexual assault in their lifetime. And one quarter of those crimes will be facilitated by alcohol or what are commonly known as date rape drugs.
Last week, a campaign launched on indiegogo for a device that has the capacity to detect date rape drugs. The pd.id has the potential to safeguard us all against a devastating derailment that we should never have to worry about in the first place, but, unfortunately, is a sad reality: one that we need to rally together to prevent, so we can all go about our days proactively and healthily.
