“ I bought my hearing aids elsewhere and experienced problems

took was one visit with Ryan, and he solved the problem right

away. Now my husband goes to see Ryan too.

I was reluctant to admit I had a hearing problem. Now that I

have my hearing aids, I realize just how much I missed when

Know your town

You will notice the name of the magazine has changed from Newcastle Today to Your Town Newcastle. Your Town Newcastle evokes more of

an image of home. This beautiful Village belongs to you, your family, your neighbours and your children.

The magazine is essentially the same, it’s just the name that has changed. Inside this issue you will find some great recipes with ingredients from our local farmers.

You will find our Chef Diana Stephenson owner of Dee’s Harvest Table back with her “Food for Thought” column. Nicky C. stylist and owner of Hysthairia Salon & Spa will educate you on skin care in “The Beauty Spot.” We have also included a great feature on Interior Design/Décor tips to create your own personal sanctuary.

There is much happening around our community so to stay in the loop we have included a new feature “Are you Going?”

And last but not least we have added a directory towards the back of the magazine for a quick reference to businesses that have advertised in the magazine.

We hope you enjoy this issue and enjoy the Summer & Fall. Our next edition will be out in January.

Be Safe, Be Happy, Shop Local!

Why do any of us need to see a skin therapist?

Well, why are doctor and dentist check-ups necessary: for better health!

Skin is a living part of your body (your largest organ, in fact), that defends against environ-mental assaults and extreme temperatures. It helps eliminate toxins from the body. It heals from cuts, abrasions and scratches like a champ. It’s continually renewing and protecting. Sim-ply put, skin keeps the bad stuff out and the good stuff in!

So why do we spend SO much time and money on our hair and nails – two things on our body that aren’t living, and completely neglect our SKIN?

A professional skin therapist is a licensed, in-tensely educated skin health expert, trained to prescribe the correct products and also perform professional skin treatments (facials). They can diagnose and answer your most pressing skin care concerns. They know how to deliver real, visible results, and have a true passion for taking care of your skin.

Your best-looking skin starts with healthy skin, and healthy skin starts with a therapist.

I have a sunburn - what should I do now?First of all, get out of the sun immediately!Take a cool bath (no products added) and

then blot skin dry. Avoid greasy creams, which prevent the skin from cooling and, depending on the ingredients, may make the situation worse.

Instead of a cream, apply a soothing after-sun GEL to red areas and then stay out of the sun and the heat. Look for a gel with these su-per-caring ingredients: clove, licorice, lavender, cucumber and yucca to reduce irritation, pain and redness. Also look out for an incredible ingredient called Japanese Alder to accelerate the repair of UV damage. Products containing ingredients such as algae and hyaluronic acid will rehydrate the skin and you should be well on your way to calmer skin.

And NO, it is not OK to go back out into the sun for another blast! Your skin is still try-ing to heal and so must be kept out of direct sunlight for a few days. Keep in mind, even with a great after-sun product, irreparable damage may have occurred in the form of premature aging or skin cancer that may only reveal itself later.

SO, next time you think, “Just another ten minutes,” your skin is listening!

What is a Dry Brush Massage?A dry brush massage, also known as dry skin

brushing, is an effective way to stimulate the skin and promote detoxification. It’s a simple technique you can perform on yourself or a service offered at most skin care centres or spas.

Using a soft, natural-bristled brush, rub your

skin in long or circular strokes, starting at your feet and working upward over the entire body.

Skin should always be cleansed after a dry brush massage to wash away dead skin cells and impurities brought to the surface. Always finish this treatment with a good moisturizer.

Benefits of Dry Brush Massage:1. Cleanses the lymphatic system2. Removes dead skin layers which improves

skin health and cell renewal3. Stimulates circulation by increasing blood

flow4. Strengthens the immune system [by getting

extra toxins off your body]5. Tones and tightens skin and reduces cellulite6. Helps with digestion

Besides being incredibly healthy, this massage leaves your skin as soft and smooth as silk. Heavenly!

As Hearing Instrument Special-ists, it is our job to provide our clients with the best hearing

possible, using best practices. These best practices include a proper audiomet-ric assessment, hearing aid selection, counselling, fitting and dispensing of hearing instruments. Proper fitting and programming practices have a big influ-ence on whether or not the client wears the hearing aid or puts it away for safe-keeping.

Generally a hearing aid is programmed according to the client’s audiogram through the manufacturer’s proprietary fitting formula, in other words, “best fit”. After programming the hearing aid and receiving feedback from the client on how their current surrounding envi-ronment sounds to them, minor adjust-ments are made so the client feels com-

fortable and not too overwhelmed with the new sounds they perceive. This is a universal practice when fitting a hear-ing aid. Using the real-ear measurement verification fitting method versus the generic “best fit” method has resulted in a remarkable improvement of clarity of clients’ hearing.

Here is a simplified overview of how we use Real Ear Measurements (REM) to precisely fit hearing aids to the client’s prescription based on their hearing as-sessment.

In order to provide the client with the best fit possible, the ear canal must be clean from any wax or debris. After cali-brating the REM testing equipment, we then take a measurement of the client’s ear canal by placing a microphone probe tube into the ear canal, just millimetres in front of the eardrum. The probe tube microphone then reads how sound is travelling to the eardrum. A hearing aid is not a one-size-fits-all device. Every ear has a specific size and length, much like a fingerprint. We then place the muted hearing instrument into the ear (while the probe tube is still inserted) and take another measurement of how much sound is blocked with the hearing aid in the ear. After adding all the acoustic parameters (style of hearing instrument, vent sizes, testing equipment used, etc.) into the fitting software, we then per-form fine tuning.

As the hearing instruments are on and the probe microphone is right in front of the eardrum, speech in various languages is then played from the loud-speaker that is placed directly in front of the client. We are able to take an ob-jective measurement of exactly how the sound is amplified to the eardrum. This

allows the clinician to fit the hearing aids accurately to the prescription using the client’s actual ear canal volume, not the “best-fit” formula that is based on the average statistics. As speech is played through the speaker, the clinician makes volume adjustments in a range of dif-ferent frequencies on the hearing in-strument software until the hearing aid meets the prescription. Depending on if the client is a new user or a long-term hearing aid user, we then establish a comfortable listening volume based on the adjustments made from the REM fitting, as sometimes the volume can be a bit overwhelming for first-time users. Our goal with using REM is to provide more audible sounds and most impor-tantly, clarity of speech.

Often clinicians do not use REM as standard protocol in their practices due to costs of the testing equipment, more time being required than the “best-fit” method, and lack of confidence when using the testing equipment. (Ross, 2012) REM testing only takes about 15-25 minutes, and according to the Mar-keTrek V study, more clients are satisfied with their hearing aids after verification using REM. (Kochkin, 2000)

Client-centred hearing clinics pro-vide each and every client with the best possible fitting and follow-ups, making sure the clients are satisfied with their hearing aid purchase. Real Ear Measure-ment testing has made a large impact on client satisfaction. This method should be common practice for all hearing in-strument fittings.

If you have any questions regarding Real Ear Measurements, feel free to call Nu-Life Hearing Centre at 905-697-3838.

Diana StephenSon owner of

Dee’s harvest table

In today’s world of Wi-Fi and space flight many people would find it hard to understand that perhaps the great-

est human invention was the plough. It turned nomadic hunters and gatherers into farmers and allowed people to choose where they wanted to live or make the most out of a less than ideal location; it gave us more control of our food source and therefore more time to create as less time was required searching for food. But maybe we now have too much time and interest in advancing ag-ricultural tech-nology.

Humans be-gan manufac-turing their l a n d s c a p e , removing the v e g e t a t i o n they didn’t want and cultivating the land to produce the food source they desired. A more reliable food source meant larger populations could be sustained. The peo-ple not engaged directly in farming worked at supplying the populations’ other needs giving rise to the artisans and crafts peo-

ple. Then came the cities. In the jungles of Asia and mountains and rainforests of South America is evidence of once great cities brought down by the lack of land stewardship and sustainable agricultural practices. For thousands of years humans would drop a seed in the ground and pray to the gods that it would grow.

At some point in history we began to figure it out, and take

a more proactive role in the success of

the crops we plant-ed. Crop rotation,

natural fertilizers and companion planting

were among the first practices to help with

crop yields. Then came the idea of evolving the

seed. Take a plant that does well under poor con-

ditions and cross pollinate it with a plant of a similar

species that has more desir-able characteristics to create

a superior plant with greater tolerance against drought

a n d pests. By the Victorian era a more scientific approach was taken. In 1856 Gregor Mendel began recording the results of his experiments with varieties of pea plants. Charles Darwin a few years later would begin writing on natural selec-

Mom’s know best about GMO’s

s u m m e r / f a l l 2 0 1 4 Your Town Newcastle 11

tion and evolution of plant species. We could now speed up evolution with controlled cross pollina-tion.

Jump ahead nearly 100 years to World War II and the need for crops to succeed was more important than ever. To do their part to win the war, every-one was encouraged to plant Victory gardens to ensure that every bit of arable land was used to pro-duce food. As borders closed some food products became unavailable and countries now needed to be self-sufficient. After the war, the creation of hy-brids exploded as most seed companies in various countries now understood that they needed to cre-ate plants that were fool proof for the novice gar-dener in the event of another world war. The hy-brid is sped up evolution, the product is something Mother Nature may have gotten around to after a couple hundred years of natural cross pollination.

Jump ahead 50 years and enter the GMO, ge-netically modified organism. While Mendel took a half dozen or more pea varieties and cross polli-nated to create new varieties; the GMO is taking genetic material from different species through a great deal of laboratory work and introducing it into the genetic makeup of the plant. We could now grow corn that just doesn’t repel the corn bor-er but kills it when it ingests the corn. Crops that

contain their own pesticide could reduce the need for external sprays.

GMO fruits and vegetables could be the next great step in the evolution of plant species. Be-cause GMOs are not the natural order of things and there are few if any restraints on the type of genetic material that can be introduced into food crops many people have become concerned with the health implications of consuming and growing these plants. Currently in Canada producers do not have to label if the item is or contains a GMO. There are a number of countries looking at such legislation. In Canada, the most common GMOs are soya beans, corn, sugar beets and canola. Most of these items end up in processed food stuff and animal feed. As yet there are not a lot of Franken-stein carrots or broccoli out there. Not surprising is the resurgence of heirloom varieties that home gardeners and small market growers are starting to favour. The farmer’s market is still the best place to purchase food that doesn’t contain GMOs. This is a huge subject with arguments to be made on both sides. Educating yourself is key to the ever evolving landscape of agriculture.

At the end of the day, I still think moms knew best when they lamented for us to stop playing with our food.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest most commonly used healing systems in the world. It originated in China some 3500 years ago but only since the 70s has it

gained popularity in North America. As many as 2000 acu-puncture points are connected by 20 pathways called merid-ians in the body. The meridians conduct a fundamental life energy (“Qi”) which is responsible for health and vitality. Imbalance of the flow of Qi causes illness and the correction of its flow, typically with the insertion of very fine needles, restores the body’s balance and health.

What conditions does it treat? The World Health Orga-nization recognized the ability of acupuncture to treat a wide range of ailments including headaches, neck and back pain, arthritis, tendinitis, neuralgia, depression, anxiety, insomnia, menstrual disorders, and respiratory conditions.

Does it hurt? Some may feel nothing, others may feel a

brief moment of discomfort upon entry of the needle then nothing or a sensation of “de Qi”. Sometimes there may be a worsening of symptoms but often this a good sign. This usually lasts only for a day or two, followed by improvement.

Is it safe? The incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower than that of many drugs or other medical procedures. There are certain conditions you should notify an acupunc-turist before undergoing treatment such as if you have a pace-maker or are on blood thinners.

There has been increasing interest in acupuncture due in large part to its effectiveness, affordability and lack of adverse side-effects. Acupuncture is a valid form of treatment not only by itself but also alongside mainstream medicine.

Yes it conjures up all kinds of pictures in your mind. “That’s what my grandparents had in their kitchen, hallway, and bathroom and so

on.” Today’s vinyl makes it so easy to commit when looking at the amazing variety, the ease of care and worry free durability. The flooring has been manu-factured with NO VOC’S. It stands up to dog’s nails, kids toys, and the flooring is water resistant. Easy to keep clean with a wet mop or vacuum. So all you have to do is enjoy and listen to all your jealous neighbours.

ResidentalBarn board is everywhere! On your walls, your fur-niture and now your floor. You would have to look close to know it’s not really wood. The high resolution variance of colour and texture is incredible! There are so many alternative applications this can be used on fronting your breakfast counter, or making decorative panels. If the top of your desk is looking worn, you can install the flooring and lay a piece of glass over top. Kodan flooring has created a vintage barn board/crate like flooring, that would make a statement on a wall in a family room or office.

Commercial UsesDay cares and schools have the toughest customers when it comes to the flooring. You want something that is environ-mentally friendly, and can stand up to the never ending ener-gy of kids. The Distinctive line has every colour imaginable, and this is where you can get very creative. A design team can help you develop a pattern for your floor to supports a child’s imagination or your own pattern can be created. Our flooring is also preferred for heavy traffic areas, such a grocery stores, professional offices, hair salons and other retail locations.

Themes - The Man Cave Yes we have all heard the term and all guys want one. Can you picture it guys, you garage is decked out with the largest T.V. on the market, your four wheeled baby is parked close. Your tools and what-ever else you store in there, is safely tucked behind state of the art cabinets with gleaming stainless steel. Your beer fridge is humming in the corner fully stocked and the lazy boy your wife wanted to you throw away is proudly perched directly in front of your T.V. You look down and you see ugly cement floors. Kodan flooring has the answer. The Distinction line has durable vinyl flooring in so many patterns and they can create your exactly what you want. The Metallic Weave reminds me of steel that would match your cabinets. The textured and vibrant colours could create a striking pattern or create your favorite sports team logos. The point is gentlemen…happy wife happy life.

Betty Stapleton is a Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Retailer and a stockist for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™. Annie Sloan developed her now famous decorative paint, Chalk Paint™, in 1990. Back then, there was no paint available with the properties Annie was looking for, so she decided to develop her own. She came to choose the name “Chalk Paint” because it was sugges-tive of its very matte—almost chalky—finish.

There are a few important factors to first consider be-fore planning and creating your bedroom sanctuary. Is your room required for more than one purpose?

Some bedrooms are large enough to accommodate a sitting area in which to read or to watch television. When creating your new sanctuary, plan on having very little distraction. If your bedroom houses an office, create your work space in another room. Your bedroom should be primarily your wind down place, the room where no kids are allowed, or work that is waiting for you to complete. It’s your “go to” room when the day has been a little too much.

Each room needs a focal point and in this case it’s your bed. This is a unique opportunity to layer your bed with luxurious linens, duvets, coverlets, pillows and throws. Approximately one third of our lives is spent sleeping, so you want to be as-sured it’s going to be a restful experience. Look at purchasing

a new mattress if you have had one over seven years and take the time to educate yourself on what is best for the type of sleeper you are. Seek out mattress professionals, get online and read, read, read. There is no reason why everyone can’t become savvy buyers with the wealth of information we find on the internet.

Pay close attention to how you feel when you walk into your bedroom, and ask yourself these questions:

Do I like the colour, or is it something the previous owner had, or the not-so-classic builder’s beige?

Do I feel closed in or crowded when I am in my bedroom?Does my bedding give away the fact that I own a cat?Are there family photos all over the room?These questions can be easily answered and solved. There

are certain colours that evoke feelings of rest and relaxation. Blues, greens, and lavenders are the best colours for a bed-room. There are many values and undertones of each of these colours, so the first shade that comes to mind is not the shade that it has to be. Wallpaper has made a comeback, albeit a slow one. Carefully chosen patterns add to the focal point in a room. If you choose to wallpaper only one wall, make it

the one directly behind your bed. Lighting should be focused on two purposes: tasks such as reading and dressing, and ambiance lighting. Our bedrooms do not need to house harsh overhead lighting. If you have-overhead lighting such as a chandelier, con-sider installing a dimmer switch so you can set the brightness.

Fabrics play an important part in this room. They will help define your sanctuary. Experiment with touching all types of fab-rics - what feels comforting, luxurious, soft and warm. Layering different types of fabric presents a bed that looks as though it will wrap its arms around you in serene comfort. Bringing fabric onto your windows will cre-ate movement in the room and soften the hard edges of your windows. You can layer your bed with toss pillows; however, there can be too much of a good thing, or there can equally be too little of a good thing.

Knowing how to mix patterns can add dra-ma and contrast.

Finally, you don’t have to spend a for-tune, but spending on low-end sheets will prove to be disappointing. A higher-end thread count defines the quality, durability and most importantly, the softness. You will have your linens for years to come when you spend a little more.

Some of you don’t know where to start when planning your new bedroom. So start a scrapbook with cut-out pictures from mag-azines, and take it with you when you shop. Go to model homes and identify what you are drawn to.

Using all of these elements will create a sanctuary that you will love to come home to after a long day. You will find a sense of calmness and security every time you enter.

Upon awakening, you will feel refreshed and ready to face the next day!

Approximately one third

of our lives is spent

sleeping, so you want to

be assured it’s going to

be a restful experience.

When thinking of home renovations, most people focus on the interior of their home. However, it can be a mistake to

ignore your home’s exterior. The finishes and quality of products you choose can be the bread and butter of your home.

We live in a much more environmentally-friendly and energy-conscious society than past generations, and the current line-up of exterior home products re-flects that trend.

WindowsAll windows should now be Energy Star rated. Ad-vances in technology have created additional benefits such as Solarban, which not only helps control drafts and weather, but also protects against UV rays and al-lows for greater control of heat. For greatest efficien-cy, buy foam-filled windows. The upgrade in cost can save you thousands in heating and cooling costs over the years. This also applies to entry doors and garage doors. Your front door is also a great place to step out-side the box and experiment with colour.

RoofingRoofing is a rapidly-changing field of home exte-riors. Many roofing products are manufactured with pre- and post-consumer-recycled content. This allows manufacturers to control their cost and optimize performance, but also to expand cre-atively. Don’t overlook this last point, and choose a style and colour of shingle that matches the char-acter of your home.

Wall CladdingThe outside walls of your home are the most visi-ble part of your home’s exterior. Traditional brick and siding are still tried and true exterior finishes. Siding is now available in many different materi-als, colours and styles. Advances in exterior finish-es, such as Styrofoam EIFS and stucco products, not only make them durable and beautiful, but can also raise the R-value of your home. For added esthetics, natural stone is always a popular choice. Many natural stone finishes are now also available in lightweight and even composite products.

Whatever exterior renovations you undertake, balance the expense and quality with choices that will create great curb appeal and add long-lasting value to your home.

From blinds to shades, shutters to drapery, you can dress your entire home making it more functional, more beautiful, more you.

Layered looks are definitely in right now. Start with a roller shade for light control and privacy. Roller shades will absorb heat and block UV rays, important when you don’t want harmful rays damaging your furniture and floors. They also allow the flexibility of enjoying your view with many different opacities in fabrics. Enhance them with a scalloped edge and bead trim (much more updated than Grandma’s roller shades).

1. Did you discover a lump through self-examination? If yes, please take me through that story. No, and like many others, I didn’t take the time to go for my annual physical in 2008. Because of that, my mother kept bugging me to make an appointment, telling me that I had to make sure I took care of myself. So I made an appointment - January 2009. Because I was 41, my doctor wanted all tests done, including a mammogram - my first. I went to the Courtice Medical Centre and had it done. I was called the next day to come back in - that further testing and an ultrasound needed to be done. At first I didn’t think anything of it, but when I returned the next day, the technician had that look and tone in her voice that something was wrong......and then it started.

2. How long before you were diagnosed after your discovery? So that was mid-January. A couple of days later I was at Lakeridge Hospital having a biopsy and on Feb. 9th I went to see my family doctor to find out I had breast cancer.

3. Please take me through the story of when you were diag-nosed.... emotions, who was with you. From the time of the second mammogram and ultrasound to the biopsy, I don’t think I slept much. Every time I was alone and had time to think, I would cry and pray that it wasn’t anything. My mom had told me that she had a cyst that was benign and had to have biopsies every oth-er year, and she thought that is what I had. The day of the biopsy, I was numb. During the test, I cried the whole time. Then it was wait, wait wait.....it seemed like a lot of ‘hurry up’ and ‘wait’. They

couldn’t tell me fast enough; I wanted to know right away. Then on Feb. 8th, which was a day after celebrating my son’s 9th birth-day, I went to my family doctor to get the results. I just remember him saying, “It’s cancer” - my biggest fear. I don’t remember much more about that appointment, other than he gave me some time to register what he had told me, and asked if I was OK to drive myself home or did I want him to call someone to come and get me. I remember sitting in his office crying for about 5 minutes. Then I wiped my tears, told him I was OK and thought, “Let’s start fighting this battle.” I left there, stopped at my husband’s work and told him. We both cried and I told him to get back to work - I was going home, but I really don’t remember driving home. He was a mess at work so his boss sent him home to be with me. We cried; we talked about what I was going to have to do - how I was going to tell our children, my parents, our families, our friends.

4. What plan or care was decided on, and how quick-ly(and where) was it implemented? Shortly after that, I had an appointment with Dr. Chang, an oncologist at Osha-wa Lakeridge Cancer Centre. I found out that surgery was step one, so I got an appointment with Dr. Lane, who did my first surgery - a lumpectomy - on March 11th at Bowmanville Hos-pital. I was an in/out patient. My husband John and my parents waited for me. At that point I thought, “The cancer is out of me - on with the treatment,” but no.....on April 3rd Dr. Lane called to tell me he didn’t get it all....seems I didn’t have a lump, but a starburst throughout my breast. Some were cancer and some weren’t HER2 positive, but the “hockey puck” amount of tissue he removed didn’t cover enough of the area. After that it was ap-pointment after appointment: oncologist, surgeon, family doctor and radiologist ....and then back for a second surgery on March 29th. At that point I figured, “Let’s just do a mastectomy ‘cause then I will know for sure it’s all gone.” Also, with the first surgery

they had removed the sentinel lymph node, which was positive, so on the second surgery they removed 21 more! Good news - there were no more that were positive. June 4th I started chemo - 4 rounds of one type of cocktail and then 4 rounds of another one, every 21 days. My last chemo was in November 2009. Then I had to have 21 rounds of Herceptin again every 21 days, taking me to October 2010 before that was done. In the meantime, I had to go to Sunnybrook to a radiation specialist to decide if I needed radiation. She thought it would be good if I had it, because of the starburst, in case cancer cells were in the incision. In January 2010 I started radiation at Oshawa, every day for 5 weeks. That was hard-er than the chemo - it literally burned me. My husband had to put special cream on my underarm; I could hardly put my arm down. We tried applying wet face cloths so I wouldn’t rub it, but the pain was too much. It really hurt to the point that I couldn’t sleep.

5. Were you happy with the care you received from our Health Services? My doctors were excellent, never shying away from telling me the truth. The nurses at Lakeridge Can-cer Centre are wonderful, answering any question I had, and the Chemo nurses are very special people - they were always cheer-ful, smiling, making everyone laugh.....sure takes a special person to do that. The radiation techs were great too, being very gentle and helping me with the pain I was having. So, yes, I was very happy. I now get to visit my oncologist only once a year and I no longer have to see my radiologist.

6. How much treatment did you receive before you were declared Cancer Free! 8 rounds of chemo.....21 rounds of Herceptin......25 rounds of radiation.....and 5 years of Tamoxifen which I will finish next January, but now they are telling me re-search shows that I might benefit being on it for 10 years. I will find out for sure next May.

7. How did this fight change who you are today? Everyone told me I would look at things differently, but I don’t know how I have changed other than I try to be positive about everything I face in my day-to-day life, being thankful for each of those days.

8. Who were the most influential people in your life during your battle? First, my kids, Alex and Erin. Alex was only 9 and Erin was 5. It was hard for them to understand or even to see me in pain, but they always made me laugh and feel better. My hus-band was my rock; he made his love shine through by holding my hand when I had chemo, holding me when I cried, and giving me

endless encouragement to stay strong. My parents, who are from Mississauga, came every time I had che-mo to watch over my children, make meals, clean my house, do laundry - whatever I needed. I was so glad and very thankful that they were available to help. I enjoyed having their company when John was at work and the kids at school. My being their “baby” and only girl, it was hard on them, but they remained strong when they were around me. I lost my mom in 2012 so she never saw my 5 year anniversary (well, from Heaven she did) but she always said, “Everything will be OK. You have too many people who need and love you.” Guess she was right!

9. So your five year anniversary is here - how are you going to celebrate? Well, I would like to get a tattoo on my right foot.....my cancer was in my right breast. Seems like every day when I get dressed I have reminders. I want others to know I fought the battle and won. Also, my husband is hoping we can get away in the fall, maybe to Vegas.....that would be celebrating at the fullest, and finally doing the Run for the Cure again in October with some very special friends and my family. My team is called “Moe’s Survival Kit” because that is truly what they are. We are hoping to raise $5,000. We are doing a lot of fundraisers to help us get there. Wish us luck!

10. Anything else you want to add? No, not really. I think I have said all I want. But if anyone would like to make a dona-tion to our team that would be very much appreciated. Thanks for asking me to tell my story! :)
