Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween is here again! Spooky goblins, eerie zombies, creepy witches...most of them under 5' tall! Halloween has always been my favorite holiday - even more than my birthday, and that's saying a lot. (Yes, I did just declare my birthday to be a national holiday.) This year, two of my older kids have crossed that line to "old enough that if they go trick or treating it's creepy", so I'm down to the two youngest. My 13-year-old, who knows that he's rapidly approaching that age himself, has a bloody clown mask that he's going to wear with an all-black outfit. My five-year-old, however, is still very much in the throes of the holiday; he'll be out there breathing the joy of running of from house to house, receiving candy and being dressed as a superhero. I'm smiling just thinking about it. 

Halloween night travels beg care, though. There are a lot of safety precautions to remember when you're out and about this evening. I've compiled a list that hopefully will be helpful to you when you're out there with your own little goblins. So with that, I bid you a spooky good evening!

Adopt A Boob!

Well, we’ve all heard the term “Laughter is the best medicine” countless times. Most likely, we’d also chuckled at the retort, “Actually, medicine is the best medicine,” as well. The truth of the matter is that they’re both very true, but in order to engage in the effort of assisting the healing power of actual medicine, the Seven Sisters Group has established our “Adopt A Boob” program! 

Our first group donation has just been collected to the tune of $300.00 toward one of our colleague’s Three Day Walk. 

You can make your own donation by visiting her website. You'll see that there are several levels of donation available. In some instances you can really feel the tangible effect of your donation: for example, a donation of $120.00 covers the cost of a mammogram for one person; $35.00 covers the expense of transportation for someone to a treatment center.

In the near future, we hope to expand the program so that others can donate through our program as well, increasing the breadth and exposure of our collective search for a cure.
