"If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies."

 Hello , Spring has sprung here in Connecticut, home to the Get In Touch office, and where we make the "magic" happen...working hard to get Daisy Wheels into the hands of girls all over the globe! Girls in 48 states and 20 countries have Daisy Wheels in their hands, and our free Daisy Wheel app has been downloaded in 58 countries! The most downloads come from the United States, followed by China and Saudi Arabia. Pretty cool, huh? We work hard to achieve our goals, but we know how important it is to play...which is why the above quote from 85 year old Nadine Stair struck a chord with me. Although there is no merry-go-round close enough for me to hop on, I have kicked off my shoes and plan to dance as soon as I finish this newsletter...all while looking at the handful of forsythia I just picked and put in a vase on my desk. Ahhh...spring! You don't need to live life "over"... just enjoy the one you have right now. Hope Lives!

Spotlight on Schools: Axtell Park Middle School
We recently received this message from Carrie Clarke, RN, who bought our Girls' Program into her school: "I'm the School Nurse at Axtell Park Middle School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A majority of the eighth grade girls I spoke to had never heard of OR knew anything about a Breast Self Exam (BSE).
We had our first ever 'GIT Your Pink On!' event on Tuesday, March 20th. All students were encouraged to wear pink that day and we had a school dance after school... I'm attaching some photos from our fun day. I'm the adult with the crazy pink bow in my hair. The picture with the pink flowers and papers on the wall are the papers with the student's names on it who came to the dance and supported the Get In Touch Foundation. Our 'GIT Your Pink On!' dance was successful and fun for all!!!"
THANK YOU, Carrie, not only for helping GIT "pay it forward" by raising money from the dance, but more importantly for helping girls get in touch with their bodies, information, and one another. You and the students at Axtell Park Middle School rock! |
