It’s almost as heartwarming as the sun! Late last week officials at The Mustard Seed saw the forecast and realized there were going to be a number of homeless people extremely desperate for water. The Mustard Seed put a call out on social media, and the community replied in a massive way.

Among the individuals, companies, and groups to respond, the Red Deer Rage U16B softball team decided to pick up enough water and snacks to fill a truck! Watch as this Red Deer squad counters a heat wave with a wave of generosity!

Judy’s story: I’m on the healthy road!

On the Healthy Road!

My journey to better health starting when my doctor told me my blood sugar was at pre-diabetes levels, my blood pressure continued to require medication and I had weight to lose. He sent me to see the RDPCN nurse. After some appointments there, the nurse referred me to the Health Basics program.

Exercise was my downfall. Working from home, I always found something else to do rather than exercise. Health Basics increased my awareness. I tracked what I was eating and became more aware of what I ate, when I ate and why I ate. I also realized things that would make me healthier that I wasn’t doing. I realized being healthy is a process and I took one healthy step at a time. I also became aware of the wider variety of options for healthy lifestyle.

My husband and I visited friends over the summer and noted they had lost weight. This stimulated us to pay even more attention to our food intake. As a result of our overall efforts, I have lost about 32 pounds and my husband has lost 37. My blood sugar is now in the normal range. I have had significant decrease in my blood pressure medication. I have more energy. I enjoy exercising more as it is easier to move around and I have less arthritis pain. Health Basics is an excellent class- it started me on the healthy road. I also have much more confidence in my future health.
