If you are a woman over the age of 40 and you are not going for regular mammograms, we understand you may have your reasons. All we ask is that you put them aside for a moment and consider the facts: It takes only minutes. No doctor’s referral is required. It’s free. And, because it finds what you simply cannot – by finding smaller tumors earlier – mammography saves lives. Make one phone call to book: 1.888.GO.HAVE1

We’ve talked a lot about organ donation and you may remember the story of how a healthy 43 year old man from Vernon needed a heart because of a virus  – and he was saved along with six other people because of the generosity of one donor. In light of that, we thought we’d pass along some info on how you can save lives. They no longer allow you to indicate that you are a donor on your drivers license, so you have submit a form stating your wishes. Please visit the BC Transplant Society and fill out their on-line registration form.

We talked this morning about Bryan Adams who has taken Amy Winehouse under his wing to try and help her defeat her drug addiction . He wrote a song about her called “Flower Grown Wild”, which can be found on his new CD “Eleven”. Sit down with your kids and view the powerful video above about the before and after of drug addiction.Note: the makers of the video disappointed us at the end (around 2:15 into it) and it sort of lost its impact with a lighthearted ending … but if you ignore this we think you’ll find it as powerful as we did. (we are looking for an alternate version for you)
