Editor, The Times:
Thank you Clearwater for your past support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon. I am delighted to have a few new volunteers this February and they will be able to canvass new neighbourhoods this year. We are still without any canvassers for the community of Vavenby. We are still in need of more volunteers. Should you wish to donate some time, you may contact me Wendy Grimm at 1-250-674-6806.
As per previous years Safety Mart has agreed to have our volunteers at a table to receive your donations and issue receipts. I hope to have a schedule with dates and times for your convenience once the volunteers have organized their time.
I am sure by now you know the symptoms of heart attack and stroke. Do you know the other issues surrounding risks for Heart and Stroke like peripheral artery disease (PAD).It is the narrowing of the arteries in the legs. Find out more information on this painful condition and how it affects your risk for heart attack and stroke on the internet, Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon.
While on the site you can access Heart and Stroke e-tools for a healthier you. These tools include a Heart and Stroke Risk Assessment, Health Support thru emails. Health Weight Action Plan, a 12-week program to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Blood Pressure Action Plan. For all the iPhone users there is a 30 Days Challenge app. Stay fit and enjoy life.
