Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund

The Jimmy Fund announced today that Boston Red Sox pitcher, Garrett Whitlock, will serve as the Jimmy Fund Captain this season. Whitlock will be an ambassador for the Jimmy Fund’s 75th anniversary and will help to support and promote Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund’s mission to defy cancer. The Red Sox have partnered with the Jimmy Fund since 1953, the longest and most charitable partnership in professional sports, and as Jimmy Fund Captain, Whitlock will continue this tradition. “Like all players in MLB, I am aware of the strong partnership and rich history between the Red Sox organization, the players, and the Jimmy Fund. I am honored to be asked to serve as this year’s Jimmy Fund Captain. I look forward to meeting patients and their families and helping to raise awareness and funds for all the amazing work that is being done at Dana-Farber,” said Whitlock. Whitlock recently had a video call with Dana-Farber pediatric patient, Blair, 5, and the pair talked about baseball, Wally the Green Monster, and about being tough through challenges, like Blair’s treatment. Whitlock and Blair hope to meet in person this season. As Jimmy Fund Captain, Whitlock will also attend fundraising events, visit patients, build support and raise funds for cancer care and research at Dana-Farber. Funds raised through the Jimmy Fund support The Dana-Farber Campaign, the Institute’s ambitious, multi-year fundraising effort to prevent, treat, and defy cancer through revolutionary science, extraordinary care, exceptional expertise, and essential opportunities—saving more lives than ever before. “We are thrilled to have Garrett Whitlock as our Jimmy Fund Captain this year,” said Larry Lucchino, Chairman of the Jimmy Fund, Trustee of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Chairman/Principal Owner of the Worcester Red Sox, and President/CEO Emeritus of the Boston Red Sox. “Garrett’s involvement, and support of the Jimmy Fund and the Red Sox community, continues a long line of talented and selfless players who have served as ambassadors to support the Jimmy Fund’s important mission of defying cancer. Thank you, Garrett.” Past Jimmy Fund Captains include Nathan Eovaldi, Mitch Moreland, Brock Holt, Pablo Sandoval, Will Middlebrooks, David Ross, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Daniel Bard, Clay Buchholz, and Tim Wakefield. Grassroots community fundraising is the heart and soul of the Jimmy Fund—thousands of people organize bike rides, bake sales, lemonade stands, runs, walks, golf tournaments, dances, auctions, softball games, and more, bringing their communities together to help Dana-Farber save lives. Some upcoming Jimmy Fund fundraisers include: - Strike Out Cancer with the Jimmy Fund – Red Sox fans can help strike out cancer all season long.

Easter 2023 Gift Guide

YourUpdateTV

Easter is just around the corner, and many of us have already started thinking about how to fill up those Easter baskets. While Easter candies and chocolate bunnies are a must, it can be difficult to figure out what to get for the kids in your life. Recently, Toy Trends Specialist with The Toy Association, Jennifer Lynch, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the top toys and trends for Easter 2023. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/6h659k4dOhc Embracing the Easter Spirit If you’re looking to embrace the Easter spirit, but want to keep things sugar-free this year, the LEGO Creator 3in1 White Rabbit is a perfect option. With this set, builders can create their own white bunny, along with a carrot and flower to munch on. Then, they can rebuild it into a cockatoo parrot and place it high up in the trees, or rebuild it again as a white seal enjoying a fish as a snack. Collectibles The Disney Doorables Squish’Alots Series 1 collectible figures are a great option for the Disney and Pixar fans. Series 1 includes 50 squishy characters from fan-favorite films. Each figure is approximately one-inch tall. Kids can recreate classic Disney tales or invent new adventures with the characters. Plus, there’s a squishy factor to all the characters for added fidget fun. Another great option for collectors is Ami Amis™. This is a collection of soft and cozy tight-knit plush toys, made of huggable, soft material with adorably cute details. The four-inch Ami Amis™ bring to life real-world objects—from food to animal pals to retro gadgets— and each character has its own personality and backstory. Sensory Toys Sensory toys have become very popular in recent years, and the Kinetic Sand Mermaid Crystal Playset is the perfect addition for the sensory bin. This playset puts kids on a treasure hunt digging through more than a pound of Kinetic Sand to uncover a reusable mermaid-shaped key, clamshell mold, shell scoop, pearls, gems, and more. Kids can then use all that’s included to create their own sand art. No-Mess Activities Crayola’s mess-free line of coloring kits, Color Wonder, continues to grow with additional characters, coloring pages, and more. The latest collection introduces new characters kids know and love, from Bluey and Gabby’s Dollhouse, to the Color Wonder Foldalope collection. Kids can color their favorite characters while staying magically mess-free with the specially formulated markers and paper. A bonus for parents, too, is that each envelope doubles as a unique storage solution for creativity on the go or simply to keep things nice and tidy at home.

Kim Sledge of Sister Sledge, the recording artists behind the international hit song “We are Family” Urges Support for The American Center for Cures

The American Center for Cures

Kim Sledge of Grammy Award winning vocal group Sister Sledge, famed for its international hit song and platinum album, “We are Family,” advocated her support for The American Center for Cures (ACC), an audacious “moonshot” mission to prevent, treat or cure diseases that plague every American family, with a new song titled, “ Unity Strong.” Ms. Sledge also shared personal commentary in support of the ACC: “I’m Kim Sledge from the recording group Sister Sledge. We recorded the international hit song, ‘We Are Family.’ I write today in support of The American Center for Cures. Having had the privilege of traveling around the world and looking in the eyes of people of all colors, ages, and cultures, and having seen both healthy, as well as, unfortunately disease affected communities, I am in full support of an initiative I was introduced to by a very dear friend of our families, Mr. Lou Weisbach, CEO and Co-Founder of ACC. Lou, Ruthie, and their family have, over the years, shared in and supported some of my family’s great times and losses. To think that some of those sad times could have been avoided, but even more to know, now there’s a new hope, and soon other families won’t have to go through the despair of disease and loss. I am truly grateful and ecstatic to hear of the possibilities The American Center For Cures has planned. Its mission is awe inspiring and I believe it is divinely designated for such a time as this. Globally, we are in dire and imminent need of a fully funded mission to prevent, treat and cure the diseases that plague every American family. Today, I cry out for unity regarding the efforts of the ACC which can bring healing wholeness and perhaps a bond of peace. We are all diverse families sharing this small planet and we all want the same thing: healthy longevity. The ACC is unequivocally the right solution to confront the nation’s health crisis and the plan is already in place. Right now, we need only to act on it by uniting our hearts, hope, and hands in active support with quick fire momentum to result in an epic unified outcome. Let’s put these disease groups out of business. Too many families have been desperate for far too long. It’s time for prevention, cures, healing, and wholeness. Lou and Dr. Boxer have taken the position of warriors for this cause. In unity, let’s put our hands to the plow with them and burst open the doors for The American Center for Cures. I’ve often heard it said, ‘how good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.’ I see only one other place where we as families strive with greater unity, and that place is in love. We can do this, together. We are family. We are unity strong.” The ACC initiative was introduced by co-founders Lou Weisbach and Dr. Rick Boxer, who was recently appointed by President Joseph Biden to the National Cancer Advisory Board. Their tireless, exemplary, and passionate efforts will enable us to turn theory into practice and finally make the families of our nation and the world recipients of long-awaited prevention, treatments, and cures through fully funded mission-based entities in the private sector individually focused on major diseases with CEO’s that are accountable and responsible to finally get the job done. Former Secretary of Health Tom Price commented that, “when this plan is approved it will rival the greatest achievements in US history and offer the sense of urgency that all American families yearn for and deserve when battling disease.” Ms. Sledge, who is also an ordained minister, and the ACC CEO Lou Weisbach are available for interviews to personally discuss this bipartisan initiative and its mission to unite medicine, science, pharmaceuticals, business, and government to seek out new treatments and cures for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, Parkinson’s, mental diseases, many forms of cancer, and several others. You can listen to “Unity Strong,” Ms. Sledge’s new song dedicated to mission of the ACC, here. About American Center for Cures The American Center for Cures (ACC) initiative is a bipartisan mission to prevent, treat and cure diseases that plague every American family. The initiative will be funded by the sale of $750B bonds by the Federal Reserve, providing the capital needed to accelerate the current trajectory of medicine. Annual interest will be paid through the licensing of new compounds and drugs to pharmaceutical companies. The principal will be repaid by savings provided to the United States Government through successes in the areas of prevention and cures. The ACC business model will cost the government and taxpayers nothing, making this the single most impactful investment on behalf of the American people in the nation’s history.

Detecting Early Signs of Heart Disease

YourUpdateTV

One in five people worldwide have inherited high lipoprotein(a) and most don’t know it. Because high Lp(a) isn’t screened for, often the first sign of this condition can be a heart attack or stroke. There are more than 60 million people in the United States at high risk for a heart attack or stroke because they were born with high lipoprotein(a). Recently, Katherine Wilemon, founder and CEO of the Family Heart Foundation, teamed up with preventive cardiologist Dr. Seth Baum, chief scientific officer of Flourish Research, on a nationwide satellite media tour to raise awareness and encourage people to get screened. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/NGQBZxqF-GI Lp(a) is a cholesterol-like substance that is unrelated to the food you eat or how you live. People inherit Lp(a) levels from their parents and high levels of Lp(a) significantly increase your likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke. High Lp(a) is a "triple threat" as it can clog your arteries like LDL cholesterol but it also promotes inflammation and increases the risk of your blood clotting. If you have heart disease or have had a stroke, or someone in your family has experienced cardiovascular disease, it is important to get screened for high Lp(a). In addition, if your LDL cholesterol is very high — over 190 mg/dL —you should also have your Lp(a) tested. Research from the Family Heart Foundation revealed that fewer than 1% of Americans had ever had their lipoprotein(a) tested – and it’s a simple blood test. “The truth is with 20% of the population affected, and heart disease continuing to be the single biggest threat to one’s ability to live a long healthy life, everyone should be screened,” said Dr. Baum. The Family Heart Foundation declared March 24 Lp(a) Awareness Day to raise awareness worldwide. In its second year, this day draws attention to high Lp(a) as an under-recognized cause of premature heart disease and stroke. “March 24 is a perfect time for everyone to think about their family history, be screened for high Lp(a) and maybe change the future for millions of Americans,” said Wilemon. For more information, visit FamilyHeart.org. The Family Heart Foundation’s Care Navigation team can answer questions and connect you to a healthcare provider near you. About Katherine Wilemon On the month she turned 39 years old, Katherine Wilemon’s world was rocked by a heart attack caused by a complete artery blockage. It was the importance of family that drove Katherine to investigate the deeper physiological issues that contributed to her cardiac event. She learned that she had familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and, years later, that she also had elevated levels of lipoprotein(a). The more Katherine advocated for herself, the more she encountered an inadequate understanding of genetic conditions such as FH. Always an entrepreneur, she founded the Family Heart Foundation in 2011 to increase early diagnosis and treatment. Over the years the Foundation has helped create a national research registry for FH, established diagnostic codes and consensus statements for care, and provided a community for those living with inherited cholesterol disorders. Now, the organization has expanded to drive awareness and scientific understanding of Lp(a) so that others with high levels can better protect themselves and their families. About Seth Baum, MD, FACC, FACPM, FAHA, FNLA, FASPC Dr. Seth J. Baum is Chief Scientific Officer at Flourish Research, and clinical affiliate professor of Cardiology at FAU Medical School. He actively consults in Clinical Lipidology and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and continues to offer lipoprotein apheresis for patients in southeast and central Florida. Dr. Baum has practiced Preventive Cardiology and Clinical Lipidology since 2000. He is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, the American College of Preventive Medicine, the National Lipid Association, and the American Society for Preventive Cardiology. Dr. Baum is a past President of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC). He currently serves on both the ASPC and Family Heart Foundation Advisory Boards. He has published over 100 peer reviewed papers and abstracts as well as two books. In 2013, he was awarded Cleveland Heart Lab’s “Heart Award” for lifelong dedication to Preventive Medicine. In 2019, Dr. Baum received Mended Hearts’ biennial Dwight Emary Harken Award. Dr. Baum is the Founder of Excel Medical Clinical Trials, LLC, a consortium of clinicians dedicated to the safe and professional conduct of high-level scientific trials. He has served as Principal Investigator in over 100 clinical trials covering a broad range of disease states. Dr. Baum is the Chief Scientific Officer of Flourish Research, a leading national clinical research company.

Global Wellness Company Fine Hygienic Holding Launches eon Longevity, an All-Natural Herbal Longevity Supplement

Fine Hygienic Holding

Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH), one of the world’s leading wellness groups, today announced the launch of eon ™, a powdered, herbal beverage supplement that supports overall health and longevity. Comprising an all-natural, proprietary herbal blend, eon Longevity +Plus (eon’s signature product) underwent one of the largest clinical studies in the supplement space. The results verified that eon supports the health of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems; regulates normal metabolic balance; and helps reduce inflammation — all of which result in a healthier and stronger body. One of the most impactful findings is eon’s ability to reduce inflammation, which is a breakthrough since inflammation is at the core of most, if not all, diseases in the human body. “With these outstanding clinical results, it can be argued that eon could be the healthiest beverage a person can consume and should be part of everyone’s personal wellness program to improve quality of life and even life expectancy,” said Medical Wellness Association (MWA) President Dr. Christopher Breuleux, who underwrote the clinical study. “We are a company devoted to improving people’s health and lives by providing reliable, tested, high-quality products,” said eon Founder and FHH President of Wellness Elia G. Nuqul. “We are extremely happy to finally make this amazing product available after more than 3.5 years of hard work. The biggest reward in all this is knowing we have something that can really improve people’s health and lives, and unlock their longevity at an affordable price.” eon is the first FHH product to be fully procured, manufactured, packaged and launched in the U.S. The beverage supplement has also been professionally certified by the MWA. FHH CEO James Michael Lafferty said, “eon reduces total body inflammation, resulting in significant health benefits. You will not find a modern drug using these powerful ingredients to battle inflammation, which is often linked to conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, and Alzheimer's disease.” Inspired by Tea from the Mediterranean The inspiration behind eon’s innovation came from a viral video viewed by Lafferty and Nuqul. It featured a centenarian man youthfully navigating his village, climbing trees, and attributing his long and healthy life to his herbal tea. Captivated by this video, Nuqul embarked on an international sojourn to locate the elder gentleman and learn directly about the drink that kept him so spry. After studying, modifying, and enhancing the tea with the MWA, eon is the result. “eon is a beautiful marriage of nature and science. The ingredients of this beverage supplement have been tested independently and proven to have significant health benefits, most notably in the battle of inflammation and the systemic problems it causes,” added Lafferty. “Here was this centenarian living a healthy and full life attributed to drinking this drink, so we asked ourselves: What if the root to longevity is in the Mediterranean — and what if this benefit was available to everyone for the same price as a cup of coffee?” Clinical Study Results The clinical study, underwritten by the Medical Wellness Association, was one of the largest ever in the wellness supplement industry. Each participant consumed the beverage daily, all under medical supervision. The clinical trials scientifically proved, with statistical significance, that the consumption of eon Longevity +Plus yielded a range of health benefits, including: Reduces and controls inflammation and pain, a breakthrough since inflammation is at the core of most, if not all, diseases in the human body Supports cardiovascular and respiratory health Powerful source of antioxidants Regulates normal metabolic syndrome and improves gastrointestinal (gut) health Improves kidney and liver function (*amongst a subset of the clinical study) Reduces pre-diabetes risk factors Reduces stress Improves mood, vitality and sleep eon Now Available In addition to the clinically proven eon Longevity +Plus (which includes the highly bioavailable curcumin), customers also have access to eon Longevity, which is the all-natural herbal proprietary blend inspired by the centenarian man (without the curcumin). For best results, consume either blend at least once daily mixed with warm or cold water on an empty stomach. It may also be added to other beverages such as coffee or tea. The beverage supplement is only available as individual stick packs online at www.eon-longevity.com. About eonThe eon Longevity Blends™ are all-natural, herbal beverage supplements inspired by a generations-old formula and created by nature. Through one of the largest clinical studies conducted in the supplement space, eon Longevity +Plus (eon’s signature product) has been scientifically proven to provide significant health benefits when consumed at least once a day, especially through the reduction of inflammation. eon is part of Fine Hygienic Holding, one of the world’s leading wellness groups.
