5th annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink fills downtown Seymour with friendship, fun
Hayes is always at the ready to help. She also pinned a boutonniere on me!
Our support group team had a great time walking together and, true to form, came in last. It's a tradition with us.
Stay tuned for more photos in The Valley Voice newsletter this week.
Pounding the Pavement for Pink is today in Seymour
... and Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller and several friends will be pushing this car - The Pink Nightmare - along the 3.1 mile route.
I'll be walking with our Circle of Friends breast cancer support group from Griffin Hospital. It's always a fun morning!
See you there!

Carb counting topic of talks at Griffin Hospital in Derby
DERBY - The Diabetes Education & Support Group at Griffin Hospital will continue its program about carbohydrate-conscious eating with free talks at 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at the hospital, 130 Division St.
Certified diabetes educator Mary Swansiger, BSN, MPH, will present “Carbohydrate Counting: Skills into Practice.”
Carb counting is a good tool to use when trying to gain greater control of blood sugar levels while still enjoying a wide variety of foods.
However, there are common questions that arise when trying to put carb counting into practice. Using the ‘gram counting’ method, this program will help answer some of those questions, including how to measure portions to correctly estimate total carbohydrates, how to count fiber, and what to do when dining out and eating combination foods. Record keeping and pattern management will also be discussed.
Both talks will be in the hospital Childbirth Education Classroom A.
There is free valet parking for the 2:30 p.m. session.
The Diabetes Education & Support Group meets September - June on the second Tuesday of each month to discuss the management of diabetes, its challenges and day-to-day dietary concerns. Anyone with diabetes and their families are welcome to attend.
No registration is required.
For more information, call Mary Swansiger, 203-732-1137.
