Inspiration For Blast Off Kids
“If I only knew” where the words that gave me the Purpose and the Inspiration to make a difference. One day a chronically ill person, who’s life had been significantly impacted by cancer sat in front of me with those words. The reality is that we do know!
Since 1991 I have had the honour to work with many people suffering from Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Arthritis and other sometimes life threatening health conditions. These health conditions are all lifestyle related. Many people believe that one can be Well one day and then have a Disease the next day. The actual path is that there are slow and steady changes in the Health Wellness Spectrum that occur slowly over time that lead to Disease or Health Crisis.
Research shows:
- *For every dollar spent on care of Disease Crisis , only 4 cents is spent on Health Prevention.
- *The incidence of obesity among Canadian children is close to 20% and still increasing every year.
- *Cancer rates are escalating to 1/3 people. We need to work on teaching our youth how to prevent disease and remain in wellness
- *The WHO ranks Allergies as the 6th leading health concern, with a 30% increase in the last 5 years alone. 12% of all Canadian Children have Asthma (WHO, 2007) and 25% of people with allergic rhinitis have Allergies (WHO, 2006)
- *Allergies are on the rise because increased carbon dioxide release in response to global warming increases plants exposure it and thus increased pollen release and concentration in the air
- *Environmental issue are on the rise: Global Warming and its cascade of effects
I felt that after years of supporting those with chronic degenerative disease a new model needed to take place. I have taken the same energy and experience in working with those ill to bring together a community event as one additional link to improve our environment and wellness for all. My goal is to educate and start with our youth creating models of lifestyle that created balance, empowerment and vitality!
