A Room To Heal: 2014

Bid on a Basket for A Room to Heal!!!

Baskets are awesome and winning is even greater!

We love the Southern Tier and each child that we serve is another way for us to give back and say “thanks!”

Now, won’t you help us say “thanks” by bidding on one of the great prize baskets to be awarded at the Captain and Crew Golf Tournament, this Saturday, August 30th?

Each basket, is filled with donated items--and there are well over 20 of them-- and contains enough goodies and treats to satisfy even the most dedicated golfer.

Finally, one of the baskets has a set of 2nd row tickets to the upcoming Trace Atkins concert at Tioga Downs on Sunday, August 31st!

How can you beat that?

Join us for our shotgun start at 9am this Saturday!

A P.S.P. PSA From A Room To Heal

There are tragic diseases that affect numerous individuals, and we here at A Room to Heal know the impact that these diseases have on our community.

After all, we are guided by our mission, to create a healing environment in the homes of children affected by serious medical conditions in the Broome county area.

However, with the upcoming Captain and Crew Golf Tournament, we wanted to educate about a little known, debilitating disease: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy or PSP.

Thee symptoms are characterized by traits that are sometimes confused with Parkinson’s Disease.

This rare brain disorder, affecting approximately 20,000 Americans, is marked by the onset of four different traits:

Disequilibrium,
Blurred vision,
Slurred speech;
And impaired memory.

Our friend, Dave Fancher, suffered from PSP , and we are pleased to be involved in the annual golf tournament held in his name, this Saturday, August 30th. Join us to celebrate the life of this great man.

4 Tips For Fun on Saturday!

The A Room to Heal 5k Run & Walk is coming this Saturday at Otsiningo Park!

We are very excited to see all of you there. But we’ve been asked a great question:

“A Room to Heal, how do I prepare for the actual run itself?”

Fortunately, our good friends at Charity Walks Blog have helped us make this question really easy to answer.

Figure out what the weather is going to be like.

Now we know this is sometimes an issue here in the Southern Tier, but it should be 74 degrees and sunny with only a 10% chance of rain. We would also recommend some sun block for the day, preferably the seat proof kind for kids and adults.

Wear comfortable shoes.

Whether you’re running or walking, or doing any combination of the two, the shoes that you have can make or break your Saturday, so make sure to have appropriate arch support, good grip and waterproof material!

Don’t forget to put on your number!

We’ll have all of this for you at our registration table starting at 8am, so don’t you worry!

Finally, grab a bottle of water (we’ll have those as well) and stay hydrated out there.

Do all of these things and your experience at Otsiningo Park should be great this Saturday.

We can’t wait for you to join us at the finish line of the A Room to Heal 5K Run & Walk at Otsiningo Park, Binghamton NY, on Saturday, May 31st from 8am to 11am, with our race starting at 9am!

Running in Your Pajamas Is Awesome!

Everyone knows that exercise is a great thing for the human body.

Everyone also knows that helping out children is a great thing as well.

Everyone knows that hanging out in your pajamas is the best thing in the world,

particularly with a cup of hot cocoa!

Well, we here at A Room to Heal would like to mention that, in addition to being a great cause, the A Room to Heal 5K Run & Walk has some other added benefits:

Running (and walking) improves the way that your lower body feels. It makes you flexible like Stretch Armstrong.
Running (and walking) makes you more coordinated. This is helpful when you’re chasing your kids around the house.
Running (and walking) burns calories. And who doesn’t want to get rid of those! Right!

There are so many benefits to running and walking, we can’t wait for YOU to join US at the finish line of the A Room to Heal 5K Run & Walk at Otsiningo Park, Binghamton NY, on Saturday, May 31^st from 8am to 11am, with our race starting at 9am!
