TOP STORY
Firefighter battling cancer needs our help
Mike Galimberti is a longtime SEA member with Pease Air National Guard
One of our fellow SEA/SEIU Local 1984 members at Pease Air National Guard Base, Mike Galimberti, is facing a fight with cancer and his sister has set up an online fundraiser to help raise money to cover the expenses his family will undoubtedly face.
Please join us in supporting Mike and his family in a difficult time. As of Wednesday morning, the fundraiser was nearly halfway to its goal – please help get them over the top. You can make a donation here.
SEA 5K ROAD RACE
Beat the increase: sign up for SEA 5K today
Cost of registration increases after today; sign up and raise money for OSC
The 2019 SEA 5K Road Race and Fitness Walk is now just a bit more than two weeks away on April 6, and the price to sign up is set to increase after today. Sign up now to beat the increase.
The SEA 5K is a fundraiser for Operation Santa Claus, and when you sign up, you’ll get your own fundraising page and you’ll have the ability to join your chapter team. This year, chapters will compete not only to see which team is the fastest on race day but also which team can raise the most money for Operation Santa Claus.
If you don’t want to compete as a runner or walker, you can still help OSC by making a direct donation at www.pledgereg.com/sea-5k. For everyone else, we’ll see you at the start line on April 6.
HEALTH BUZZ
Walk With Ease to step into better health
If you’re ready to improve your health but need help taking that all-important first step, a new program for state employees is for you. Walk With Ease is an evidence-based, no-cost walking program created by the Arthritis Foundation to help people reduce pain and improve overall health.
This program can be done in a group or on your own. If you can be on your feet for 10 minutes without increased pain, you can have success with Walk With Ease. This program is approved for people with arthritis but is open to anyone who wants to increase their physical activity safely and gradually. You can sign up by visiting www.tinyurl.com/WalkNH or by using the new Mobile Health App. You can download a printable flyer for the program here.
