A Healthy Heart is a Beautiful Thing

Feb

2010

heart-monthFebruary is Heart Month in Canada.

This month that message has extra meaning in our house as a very special family member recovers in a Kitchener hospital from major heart surgery, thanks in great part to advances in medical technology that our donations at the door make possible.

We all know what we need to do to have a healthier heart – eat well and sensibly, exercise more and smoke less and most importantly reduce the stress in our lives. And this month when the canvassers plod through the snow, giving their free time to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, stop and think for a moment of your loved ones and especially those that have benefited from new heart technologies and lifestyle information made possible by the Foundation.

I know I have a teenager and a 5 year old excited to see Papa home from the hospital. From the rest of us, Thank You for supporting Heart Month.

Mark has also penned more than 100 poems and essays and is an internationally known digital artist. And for anyone who lived in Northern BC during the 1980’s and 1990’s, Mark was the ‘morning weatherman’ on CBC Radio.
