Cancer society looking for donations

NEXT MONTH is Cancer Month and

organizers are looking for more
volunteers to help with the door-to-door
campaign

The campaign slogan this year is ‘‘Do
it for a friend.”’

Aside from raising money for cancer
research, the Terrace branch of the Ca-
nadian Cancer Society is also hoping to
rais¢ moncy lo buy a lympha press ma-
chine for Mills Memorial Hospital.

A lympha press isa calibrated gradi-
ent pressure pneumatic pump which of-
fers effective treatment of lymphatic
and venous disorders. This powerful,
versatile lightweight pump provides
therapeutic advantages for both home
and hospital use.

The local cancer unit would like to
purchase one or even two of these ma-
chines.

The closest city which has these ma-

chines is Prince George or Vancouver. |

Travel to those cities is costly and for
many patients, out of the question.
However, fundraising for the lympha-
press has been going well.
Mr. Stan Kincaid donated his wife's
quilling loom te the Terrace Quilters
who in turn donated the first quilt made

B6 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 20, 1996

on it to the Terrace Cancer Society..

The quilt was raffled and yielded
$1,800 towards a lympha-press.

In addition the Terrace Lions have
donated $800, the CWL donated $500,
and the Knights of Columbus, $300.

But more donations are still needed

since the cost of (he machine is $6,800.
The cancer society “is: hoping more
community groups will come forward
with donations,
’ There are ‘at least six people in the
communily who need this type of treat-
ment, which takes one to three hours
once a week to once a month,

Having the machine at Mills would
alleviate the need for these paticnts to
travel out of town for treatment.

Donations should be sent to the REM
Lee Foundation, 4720 Haugland Ave.,
Terrace, B.C., V8G 2W7, and be clear-
ly marked for the lympha-press,

And please remember that canvassers
will be coming to your door next
month, collecting money for cancer re-

If you'd like to volunteer as a canvas-
scr, phone Nel Licuwen at 635-7857.

Good nutrition requires YY a

Good nutrition requires a two step
solution. The first is simple and com-
mon sense, watch what you're eating,
The second is a little more complex,
and hard to be sure. Watch what
you're not eating,

Preventing sickness, disease, canc-
er, weight gain, sleeping problems,
etc. is easier than trying to cure them.
But making sure that you get ail of the
vitamins you need, and avoid the pro-
ducts that are linked to cancer is far
more difficult than it seems.

Pesticides and herbicides now cover
most of our vegetables, and modern
farming techniques to make foods
grow faster, taste better, and become
disease resistant, often reduce there
nutritional value,

There is no simple solution, but if
you want to avoid the problems that
bad nutrition creates, the only cure is
Prevention, anything else is only treat-
ing symptoms. Making smal! choices
will add up to a world of good, choas-

reducing the amount of processed
foed you eat, reducing the stress in
your life, and exercising regularly will
prevent problems such as cancer, and
weight gain, and make you feel a
whole lot better.
