Grass script character "Long Life"
When I was young, I never worried about my health, but now that I'm older the body sends messages to be careful about various health matters. I hope others will learn that valuable lesson sooner than later. This and the fact that my grandmother died in her 50s made me realize the importance of good health. I cannot give blood due to previous hepatitis (food). I cannot do much, but I can contribute in some way. It may only be a piece of the puzzle, but when all of us join together it forms a big picture. With more participants, more can be done. So in helping myself I also help others. What they learn in research today can help us all tomorrow. What I contribute today, even in in a small way, can help women who come after time. In this same way other participants are helping me. Together we can make this a healthier and happier world for women and for all. It is a privilege to help in some way. Thanks.
