RadioRotary interviews Pari Farood, Executive Director of Miles of Hope, an organization that provides aid and comfort to breast-cancer sufferers throughout the nine counties of the Hudson Valley. Miles of Hope was founded in 2004 by Dana Effron and Cathy Varunok who had already devoted themselves to raising money for the fight against breast cancer but recognized that there needed to be a more local organization. The name originates with the annual fall Breast Cancer Walk at James Baird State Park in Dutchess Country, but there are additional fundraising events throughout the year. With the money it raises, Miles of Hope provides many services to improve the lives of persons with breast cancer ranging from help paying bills and for associated medical services to college scholarships for students whose lives have been affected by the breast cancer of a relative or friend. An important service is the peer-to-peer hotline (800-532-4290) where those affected by breast cancer can exchange information on how to deal with the problems that arise.

Nicole was born in Salt Lake City, 1988. She moved with her family to San Diego at the age of 5. She was raised a tomboy, growing up playing sports such as soccer and softball. However, at the age of 7 she was diagnosed with Legg Calve Perthes Disease and was told she would never be able to run, do gymnastics, or any sort of high impact or weight lifting sports. Niki had the choice of a hip replacement, spica cast for 6 months or crutches and physical therapy for 3 years. Niki and her family flew around the country to 10 different doctors, until they found one that said there was a possibility of recovery if she followed the demanding protocol of crutches, physical therapy and swimming daily for three years. Of course Niki went on to become a competitive swimmer, as she couldn’t hold back the desire to be her best in everything she does. All she needed to hear was “possible”. Her family stood by her side, and her father carried her in their three-story home and did physical therapy with her every night for 3 years. She is the only known patient ever to have escaped the disease without surgery. Niki decided to take full advantage of her new strength and wanted to prove the doctors wrong, so she went directly into gymnastics, which lead to her love for cheerleading. She was captain of her cheer team at La Jolla High School, performed in the Orange Bowl, and also took up drama with some leading roles such as “Anne Frank”, as she loves to entertain and be on stage. Niki went on to study Psychology and Drama at UC Irvine not knowing yet exactly what she wanted to be, but knowing she wanted to understand the mind better and help people live a happier life on a large scale. Since the doctors had also told her she’d never be able to run again, she knew she had to prove them wrong once again. Niki went on to do a 3 day 60 mile Breast Cancer Walk and and multiple charity triathlons. She also learned how to box and fell in love with the sport so much, she started her own boxing business called BST Boxing (Blood Sweat and Tears) and taught boxing. After graduating from UCI in 2010, she decided to fulfill a lifelong goal on her Bucket List, to become a professional cheerleader! She auditioned for the Chargers, Ducks, and Kings. She was cut in the first round for both the San Diego Chargers, and the Anaheim Ducks, but for Niki “giving up” has never been an option. She persisted (got in better shape and learned how to ice skate) and succeeded in landing a spot on the L.A. Kings. Ice Crew!!! She cheered for them and lived in LA for 3 years, while also pursuing acting in LA. During her last season on the Kings Niki was introduced to the sport of body building by a boyfriend at the time. He also introduced her to whom would end up becoming her first NPC bikini coach and the person who took her in after a restraining order due to domestic violence. Her love for herself and healing from the abuse only grew exponentially as she trained for her first NPC competition. With all the strength, will power, persistence and drive it took to step on stage Niki realized she had found a very special sport. The kind that transforms you from the inside out and helps you see that we are all capable of ANYTHING we set our minds to.

Mid-Hudson American Cancer Society (Aired on July 28 and 29, 2018) Kristine Revelle of the American Cancer Society in the Mid-Hudson comes to RadioRotary to discuss the many ways that the Cancer Society is fighting the hundreds of diseases that we lump together as cancer. The Society emphasizes education about the causes of cancer, advocacy for cancer issues with local and national governments, research on the causes and cures of cancer, and services for the victims of cancer. The Mid-Hudson Region has been at the forefront of cancer=prevent studies since 1959. Ms. Revelle tells listeners ways that they can reduce their risk of developing cancer and outlines resources from the Society to help in recovery. Events, such as the annual Breast Cancer Walk and the campaign “Real Men Wear Pink” help not only to raise money for the Society but also create awareness. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/radiorotary/support
Having good solid friendships deepens our experience of life. They help us combat depression, anxiety and loneliness while also encouraging us to be our most authentic self, to let our hair down and let our freak-flag fly. AND they shine a light on the kind of friendship we want out of our long-term romantic/sexual relationships. So why is it sometimes so hard to make new friends or maintain the ones we already have? And, how can we improve our friendships? In this podcast series, I’ll be covering four topics on friendships: How to Make New Friends? How to Maintain & Improve Friendships? How to End Friendships? How to Be Your Own Best Friend? So today, I’ll be talking about how to make new friends, something I talk to clients a lot about in my private practice. First of all, let’s just recognize that how we make new friends changes over time. It’s generally much easier when we’re younger and seeing the same group of people every day, for years on end. This kind of consistency at least brings about the opportunity to get to know people better, even if your peer group is sometimes less than desirable. Over time, we don’t always have the same consistent environments, like school/college, to get to know people. It can take extra energy and time to meet new people in new environments. Our priorities also change, so we may look for specific qualities and shared values in a new friend than we would have growing up. Did you ever see that meme going around on social media? Essentially it said that friends are there for a reason, a season or a lifetime. A reason, like going to the same school, being in same sport/club, or being co-workers; a season, like the duration of your time in one of these places, out of convenience; or a lifetime, admittedly something that is a rare experience of two or more people able to shift, adjust and prioritize their friendship over the long-haul. What am I looking for in a friend? So, in making new friends, let’s start by asking yourself the question, “What am I looking for in a friend?” This can be a similar question to what you’re looking for in a relationship or dating situation. Do you want to have shared interests or someone that brings in new fresh ideas and interest? Are you looking for an activity-partner: like a workout buddy, going out clubbing, hiking, movies? Do you want a friend that’s more similar or different than you? We all have the need for the validation that comes from someone who closely mirrors us while also the need for diversity in someone that brings fresh ideas/activities/differences to the friendship. Do you want to be friends with someone who shares your core values? Core values are things like: loyalty, honesty, integrity, consistency, reciprocity, authenticity, adventure, compassion, responsibility, stability, trustworthiness, generosity, sensitivity, determination, persistence, playfulness, awareness, thoughtfulness, and justice. These are some of my core values but what are yours? Core values help shape our beliefs, behaviors and the decisions we make in life, like who we want to spend more time with or who we want to deepen a friendship with. I also just want to state the obvious, but often overlooked reality here, that deepening friendships takes time so a new friend isn’t going to have the same history, depth or investment that a long-term friend will have. We need to set our expectations accordingly, and not put too much pressure on a new budding friendship to be as rewarding or have the same qualities as a long-term friendship that’s had more time to develop. Where will I meet new friends? It’s not enough to know what kind of friends you want to make, you also need to put yourself out there in situations where you’re more likely to meet them over time. Where are you most likely to meet the kind of friends you want to have? Give yourself time to brainstorm here too. Friends of friends (saying yes to group events/parties/socials and asking for recommendations for people in different geographic locations) Work & Networking (BNI, Rotary Clubs, Chamber of Commerce Meetings) Continuing Education Classes (i.e. cooking, photography, foreign language) Sports & Physical Activities (i.e. dodgeball, bowling leagues, biking, group classes, yoga, hiking, climbing, camping, dancing) Volunteering & Fundraisers & Galas (i.e. AIDS Walk/Ride, Breast Cancer Walk, Film Festivals, SPCA Dog Walker, volunteering to be on the Board of Directors of an organization you believe in) Seminars, workshops and conferences Self-improvement clubs: Meditation, NVC Groups, NLP Groups Public speaking clubs, like Toastmasters Other interests (i.e. movie group, museum group, book reading group, vegan, religious/spiritual, dog parks, art exhibits, political groups) (This list will be in my show notes, at www.livingmorefully.com/newfriendships) Where to find these kinds of groups? Local newspapers: “old school” = back section often includes social groups/activities Google Search: based on location and interest Online groups designed to bring people together: Meetup.com, FriendMatch.com, Apps like Nearify to find events near you, Facebook Events/Groups: invite people in a group with a common interest Apps like Goldstar & LivingSocial & TodayTix & GroupOn How can I be a good friend? Part of making friends AND keeping them is being a good friend. BE the kind of friend that you’re looking for. BE reliable, considerate, fun, consistent, and available. If you have to turn down an invitation, offer an alternative. Show up more times than not. BE authentic. BE you. But also share more of you vulnerability over-time, not all at once and not never. Take your time, pace yourself, and enjoy the process of getting to know someone and letting them get to know you.
