A couple weekends ago, I needed to get Esmee out of the house. I found a basic chicken keeping class at Cluck, Inc. in Providence, RI. I didn't expect Esmee to get any of the finer details, but I thought the whole experience could benefit her and maybe help develop her mind and curiosity. We had a fun time and made the Providence Journal at the same time.
I am very pleased with the efforts by made by everyone who made The 3rd Annual Zoë Festival a success. Zoë Fest raised more than 1700 dollars and was attended by roughly 60 people.
The hall was donated by Jenks Lodge in Pawtucket, RI. Photographs were taken by Mary Louise Delano. The music provided by the talented Lauren King. The delicious food was provided by Catering Connection. Items donated to our raffle table were donated by the following businesses: Friendly Neighborhood Comics Foxy Travel, Inc Punks for a Princess Providence Baptist Church Pinecrest Lawn Specialists Rhode Island Ninjutsu Center AMF Lanes in Taunton, MA Amy Gaskell and Macaroni Kid Jess Duckett and Zimi Photography Cathy's Creations & Sofia's Angels Mary Originials Body Language Spoken Spin Class Jenny Foster & McVan Jewelry Champs Liquors The New Britain Museum of American Art World Music/Crash Arts Dana's Hair Salon Christine Keene from the Krazy Daisy Consignment Store Danielle Lafierre, Scentsy Consultant Jim Collins, Featherwood Crafts Lindsey Wolstenholme-Krupski, Captured in a Moment Thank you for the memory! We hope to see you next year! I will be performing chair massage at the Douglas Farmer's Market on June 28th 2014 to raise money for The 3rd Annual Zoë Festival. Zoë Fest is an annual event to benefit the Boston Children's Hospital . My chair massage fundraiser will be a series of five days throughout the summer (All 5 dates will be announced soon.)
100% of the money raised will be invested in Zoë Fest or be donated directly to the Boston Children's Hospital. If you are interested in scheduling a chair massage with me, please email me at zeppo.cancersucks@gmail.com I will happily reserve a time especially for you. And if you book a 20 minute massage, I will give you a free Team Zoë tee shirt. (While Supplies Last.) Hello Everyone! Laura was called out by Sara Fitts to do the cold water challenge. Because Laura is pregnant and not allowed to participate, I am doing the challenge in her place. We will donate $10 to her chosen charity the Ronald McDonald House in Providence. I am calling out the following people, Seth Joubert, Daniel Joubert, Jr., Jennifer Croft, Anthony Pirri, Stephan Saraidarian, Tommy Holton, and Ashley Silverman. I’ve called you out because I believe that you are crazy enough to honor this challenge, and to be creative enough to find cold water even in the summer. You have one week to do this challenge and donate $10 to The Zoë Faye Foundation in honor of Zoë, or you can keep warm and dry and donate $100 to the same charity. Get COLD for charity! www.teamzoecancersucks.com -- Supports the Boston Children's Hospital www.foreveryoungmassagetherapy.com -- All profits of FYMT is donated to charity. My heartfelt thanks for your donations go out to: Anthony Pirri and Tony's Seafood in Seekonk, MA Jennifer Fox Croft I am excited to be working with The Children's Hospital Boston, and the people who organize the Tuff Scramblers 5K obstacle course over in Rehoboth, Massachusetts.
On May 17th, I am going to set up an area where I will offer chair massage to athletes and spectators to benefit the Children's Hospital. I set a goal for 400 dollars and if I stay busy all day, I will easily reach it. Of course, I want to crush the goal.... Here are the details: Tuff Scramblers is the "Ultimate 5K Adventure Race." That is their slogan, and I don't mind endorsing it as such, because I've run the race twice and loved it both times. Parking is located at 20 Francis Street Rehoboth, Massachusetts. There is a second lot close by if the first one is full. The price to enter the event as a spectator is five dollars. However, if you bring two packages of non-perishable food items, you'll get in for free. Those items will be donated to the Bethel Community Development Rehoboth Food Pantry. Children 14 and under get in for free. I'll be ready to start massage as soon as I am allowed. I know that registration for athletes starts at 8 AM. I'll be charging a dollar per minute and 100% of the money I raise will be mailed to the Children's Hospital Trust within 7 days after the fundraiser. I will be accepting cash (be mindful that there will not be an ATM machine on location) and Checks (all checks made out to the Boston Children's Hospital is a tax write off). I hope to see you there. Tuff Scramblers put on a good show. After each race, there will be food, drinks, and music. And of course chair massage! That' what I am all about! Why did I chose the name Forever Young?
It is cliché that I would decide on naming my massage practice Forever Young, considering that my surname is Young. Under normal circumstances I would have immediately shot down the mere suggestion. I do not practice massage therapy under normal circumstances. Back when Laura and I were searching for a middle name to give Zoë, Laura joking suggested naming our daughter, “Zoë Forever Young.” Of course, I immediately said no, and as our dialogue progressed, you know we settled on Zoë Faye. By the time Zoë was born, I regret to say that I had stopped practicing massage therapy after an exciting career. Like many of my colleagues, I became victim to “burn out.” I went to school and became a phlebotomist instead. Zoë got sick, and we spent three months at Boston Children’s Hospital. From the time Zoë was born, through the challenges of caregiving to an infant with cancer, I recognized the innate power of unconditional love within myself for my daughter. I witnessed the suffering she went through, and the mutual suffering she shared with other children fighting cancer. My passion for massage therapy was rekindled for the sake of my crusade against pediatric cancer. I have skills and an ability to help people feel good. Massage has so many positive benefits. It can help facilitate the body’s natural healing abilities. Forever Young Massage & Bodywork was born amongst the suffering brought on by cancer. Forever Young was born with the mission to help people feel better while at the same time supporting pediatric cancer research. 100% of the profits will be donated to organizations doing the best work to stop cancer from hurting our children. If you are interested in supporting my mission, please call to schedule a massage in the comfort of your home at your convenience. Zeppo 774-482-0592 |
