A Tribute To Sam
I was forced to say goodbye to my dear friend and loyal companion last month. During his short time on earth, Sam taught me the meaning of unbridled courage, determination, heroic strength and unconditional love. Beginning with his initial Cancer diagnosis last October, I was offered a precious opportunity not bestowed upon the families of the nine fallen firefighters, the victims of 911, and countless others who have endured the tragic and unexpected loss of a loved one. I was blessed with the gift of time; the time to prepare for his passing, celebrate his life and say my final goodbyes.
The Benefits Of Hiking And Climbing - Becoming A Human Animal
When I first went off to the wilderness I was with a small group of kids who all had asthma/eczema, diabetes, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis or some such ailment. I attended a special boarding school for kids who suffered from different illnesses to the point that they would usually be permanently hospitalised. Our first ‘wilderness’ camping trip took all of these ten and eleven year olds out to a field in the south east of england. It was surrounded by ancient woodland, huge lakes and nothing but countryside. We had to get our water from a natural spring and cook over a fire and sleep in tents.
How Hand Sanitizers Prevent Illness
It is amazing to realize that between 10,000 and 10 Million microorganisms are living on each hand. Hand Sanitizers prevent illness by killing almost every one of them.
One of the greatest advances in the history of Medicine was the discovery of microorganisms and their connection to disease. Less than 150 years ago, surgeons were performing surgery without even washing their hands. The death rate from infection was very high. Major communicable diseases were spread from person to person without any check at all. Once the connection between these little unseen killers and the havoc they create in the human body was realized, we entered a whole new era of health and longer life.
