Thursday, Almost the end of the week

A balmy -18C here in Halifax, but sunny, a good steady 8K into work today. I will pass the 50K/week mark this week. Very nice indeed.

First I got two more donations for my silent auction Yesterday. First donation comes from Friend, and talented Musican Terry Young, his solo cd, Letting Go of the Weight of the World. Please check out his web site at http://www.terryyoung.ca/

Terry also plays for A great Canadian Folk band called Tangelfoot, if you have seen them you no what I am talking about, if you get a chance to see them do. http://www.tanglefootmusic.com

Second, Dr. Neil Benard has donated a copy of Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes (2007: Rodale)

http://www.nealbarnard.org/

"A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is often a grim precursor to heart disease, kidney failure, stroke, nervous system damage, and other life-threatening complications. But a new book by nutrition researcher Neal Barnard, M.D., says it doesn’t have to be that way. Based on his own recently published research, Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes outlines a powerful new nutritional approach—a low-fat vegan diet—that can help many patients cut their blood sugars, improve their insulin sensitivity, and reduce—if not eliminate—their medications".

Don't be left out I will take donations for the silent auction or of course credit cards via the web site in my signature. Or contact me at my blog and I will tell you how to send a check or money order.

Many thanks to those who have donated items and cash, but there is a long way to go.

Next up Muffin Friday here at work I am baking muffins and hopefully someone will donate a buck for the one they take.
