TAI CHI HEALTHY CHOICE FOR PEOPLE WITH ARTHRITIS
Arthritis Foundation Offers New Joint-Safe Activity
[W.P.B.] – For centuries, Tai Chi has been practiced in China as an effective exercise for physical and mental well-being. Now, the Arthritis Foundation is launching a new joint-safe Tai Chi program designed to improve the quality of life for people with arthritis, as more and more people turn to alternative approaches to address chronic conditions.
Tai Chi from the Arthritis Foundation is designed for people of all ages seeking a joint-safe exercise routine, but particularly those with mild to moderate arthritis. Research shows moderate physical activity helps people with arthritis feel better and relieves pain. Tai Chi may be especially suitable for people with joint problems because its movements are slow and gentle, and the level of exertion can be adjusted to suit each person’s physical condition. In addition, the movements in the style of Tai Chi used by the Arthritis Foundation are performed at higher stances, which make it easier and more comfortable to learn.
The benefits of Tai Chi may include reduced pain and stiffness, improved concentration and memory, greater balance, increased flexibility, enhanced muscle strength, along with improved ability to cope with stress and depression.
Tai Chi from the Arthritis Foundation will take place on Wednesdays & Fridays – beginner class 10:00 am, intermediate class 11:00 am beginning February 23, 2011 at the Arthritis Foundation, 400 Hibiscus Street, West Palm Beach. The sessions will run for 5 weeks, and the cost is $66. All classes are taught by instructors who have undergone a special Arthritis Foundation instructor-training workshop.
To register for Tai Chi from the Arthritis Foundation or for more information, contact Susie Rhodes at 561-833-1133.

March, 2011 – The 2nd Annual Florida Brain Cancer 5K
The 2nd Annual Florida Brain Cancer 5K
March 6, 2011 at John Prince Park
On March 6th, the community will walk and run together at John Prince Park in Lake Worth for a good cause, finding a cure for brain cancer. We were fortunate to have Danielle Rosenzweig from Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure (ABC2) and Jody Greenspon, an avid supporter of the cause and 5K walker, to answer a few questions.
AW: Tell us about the 2nd Annual Florida Brain Cancer 5K at John Prince Park on March 6th.
DR: The Florida Brain Cancer 5K is a family friendly 5K Walk/Run, open to participants of all fitness levels. Beyond the 5K itself we have a number of wonderful activities and exhibits, most notably the Survivors’ Tribute, Wall of Hope, Kids Fun Run, Family Fun Zone (arts and crafts, moon bounce and rock climbing wall) and the “Hidden Under Our Hats” travelling hat exhibit. Finally to close out the event we have a moving Awards Ceremony that includes a moment of silence and recognition of our top fundraising teams and individual fundraisers.
AW: How will the 2nd Annual Brain Cancer 5K walk be different from the first one last year?
DR: This year’s Florida Brain Cancer 5K will be bigger and better than last year. Not only will we have more participants and teams, but we have also added a number of great exhibitors into local running stores, chiropractors, and local cancer centers. We also have a great band joining us this year, Vanilla Monk, who will be providing live entertainment throughout the event. One of the most exciting additions to the event is a free pancake breakfast that will take place immediately following the 5K.
AW: Is there a fundraising goal for this year’s race?
DR: Last year, thanks to the amazing hard work and support of all of our participants, we raised an unbelievable $91,000 by event day and a total of $116,000 by the end of the campaign. This year we are hoping to have over $100,000 raised by event day and $150,000 raised by the end of the campaign. It will take some work, but we are confident that we can count on our supporters to help us achieve this exciting goal!
AW: Jody, how did you become passionate about this cause?
JG: In January 2006, my father lost his battle with an aggressive brain 
tumor. While it has been just over five years since he passed away, the pain and sadness I feel from losing him is just as strong today. This disease has robbed my family of so many experiences we had looked forward to. My son, Jacob Irwin is named in my Dad’s memory, and I think all the time about what great friends they would have been, and how much they would have loved each other. I know first-hand how a diagnosis of brain cancer sends a shock wave through the families of those affected, and that is why it is so important to raise money to support research for a cure and better treatments. Brain cancer is a devastating disease on so many levels and I hope that my support of this event can help others in similar circumstances. It’s comforting to think that my Dad is looking down on me and feeling proud that I am doing this in his memory. I think it says a lot about the kind of person and great father he was.
AW: What’s something people might not know about brain cancer that’s important for them to know?
DR:
· The average life expectancy for an individual diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer, is only 12-15 months.
· Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death among children and young adults.
· Brain tumors cannot be prevented because their causes are currently unknown.
· Over the next twelve months more than 200,000 in the US will be diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor.
AW: Tell us more about the organization ABC2 and how donations make a difference.
DR: ABC² believes that a nimble, focused and aggressive entrepreneurial model will increase the number of therapies discovered and then enable those therapies to be more rapidly driven into the clinic. We provide researchers with the pivotal support they need to make critical breakthroughs and fund novel translational research aimed at finding the fastest possible route to a cure for brain cancer. Donations to support ABC² allow important translational projects to get off the ground and make important pre-clinical breakthroughs that will later benefit clinical trials and patients.
AW: Tell us about the “Wall of Hope” at the event.
JG: The Wall of Hope is a wall of photos of survivors, as well as those who lost their battle, which is displayed at the event. The Wall of .
Hope provides individuals with the opportunity to recognize the people who they are honoring through their participation in the Florida Brain Cancer 5K – whether they are participating in celebration of a survivor or in memory of a friend or loved one
DR: Throughout the year, the Hidden Under Our Hats Exhibit will be displayed at various cancer centers, conferences and fund raisers across the country. The exhibit is made up of hats provided by brain tumor patients, both who have passed and those who are still fighting. Patients have written their name, age at diagnosis, type of brain tumor, date of diagnosis, and date of passing (if applicable). The exhibit is very powerful and will hopefully help increase public awareness and lead to a cure. Patient/Survivor participants at the Florida Brain Cancer 5K will have the opportunity to add their hat to the exhibit.
AW: According to you, what’s the best thing about this 5K walk/run?
JG: There are a lot of great things about this event. First of all, I love that this is something fun we can do as a family, as there are many activities aside from the walk/run that take place that are geared towards kids and adults alike. I also really appreciate that we can do something right here in Palm Beach County that will help cancer patients and their families all over the world. The money that we raise will help fuel ground breaking research, much of which is taking place in Florida, so it gives a lot to be proud of. And I do feel that this helps keep my Dad’s memory alive. It would be very easy for me to say that I just want to move on with my life and not think about what we went through. But this event is not just a morning run or another fundraiser. It is a celebration of my Dad and every other patient who has battled or is battling brain cancer, and that is the most important reason to get involved.
I hope to see a great turnout at this year’s event! More information is available at www.fbc5k.org.

March, 2011 – Movies You Might Rather Forget
Kravis Center’s Annual African-American Film Festival to Feature Movies You Might Rather Forget
(West Palm Beach, FL – February 2, 2011) The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is once again partnering with producer James Drayton to present the annual African-American Film Festival at 7 p.m. on three successive Tuesday evenings, March 29, April 5,12.
The theme for the 2011 African-American Film Festival is Films That You May Rather Forget.
March 29: Amos ‘n’ Andy Show
Selected episodes (1951-1952) of the controversial situational comedy will be shown and discussed. The series originated on radio in the 1920s before starting its TV run with actors Alvin Childress (Amos), Spencer Williams (Andy), Tim Moore (Kingfish) and Ernestine Wade (Sapphire).
April 5: Open the Door, Richard
This musically themed film from 1945 cuts back and forth between Stepin Fetchit at home in bed and a jazz band providing the film’s swing music. Directed by William Forest Crouch, the film also stars Dusty Fletcher.
April 12: Brewster’s Millions
This comedy about a down-on-his-luck individual who has to spend $1 million in two months in order to inherit a fortune was first filmed in 1914 and again in 1985 with Richard Pryor and John Candy. This 1945 version was directed by Allan Dwan and starred Eddie “Rochester” Anderson along with Dennis O’Keefe, June Havoc and Gail Patrick.
“The idea of this Film Festival is to counter the notion that African American filmmaking is of recent vintage and only consists of a certain type of film that reflects a defined segment of current social conditions,” said Drayton, the Festival’s founder and producer and formerly the owner of the African American Heritage Bookstore in West Palm Beach
As host of the Film Festival, AnEta Sewell will set-up each film and its content, and then lead a lively Q&A session following the screening. The Lead Outreach Representative for the Palm Beach County Service Center at the South Florida Water Management District, Sewell previously had spent 20 years in television, primarily at CBS 12 NEWS. An Emmy Award winner, she was the first African American to anchor and report the news in the West Palm Beach/Treasure Coast market. Currently she can be seen in the weekly public affairs program “Around Our Town” on the CW/My TV Network.
The Film Festival is presented as part of the Kravis Center’s ArtSmart series, which offers a full range of educational presentations that provide new perspectives on the world of the performing arts and enrich the life experience.
The sixth annual African-American Film Festival will be held in Persson Rehearsal Hall, located on the second floor of the Kravis Center’s Cohen Pavilion. Tickets are $10 per night or $25 for the entire festival.
