Hike for hope

	Hike for hope

Action For Charity are now recruiting for the third Hike For Hope - a very special event that aims to raise funds to help find cures for prostate and gynaecological cancers. Past hikers have raised nearly £1million to stop prostate and gynaecological cancers ruining lives with treks in Jordan and Kenya. The third challenge is an amazing five-day trek across the magnificent Sinai Desert in Egypt from Mount Sinai to the Red Sea. Leading the way again will be top urologist Professor Roger Kirby, Chairman of Prostate UK, and leading obstetrician and gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, a trustee of Wellbeing of Women and gynaecologist to the Queen.

More than 200 people have taken part in previous Hike For Hope challenges. They were tough treks but there was a huge amount of fun and friendship along the way. Among the hikers were cancer sufferers, people who had family and friends with cancer and a large number of doctors, nurses and medical people from across the UK. If you know anyone who has experienced gynaecological or prostate cancer or if you would like to stop these cancers ruining lives then please take up the Sinai Desert Challenge.

The trek starts with a visit to the magnificent pyramids at Giza before travelling to the Sinai region of Egypt to start the challenge – hiking across the magnificent Sinai Desert with its wide open spaces, ever-changing scenery, narrow wadis (riverbeds) and spectacular coloured canyons. We will sleep in Bedouin tents or under the stars along the way!

Children

It’s not difficult to teach your children to be kind and that kindness has value. "When you do something for others, it makes you feel good. It benefits both the giver and the receiver," says Julie Kaufman of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation in Denver. Those great feelings can snowball into your kids wanting to do more kind things.

So how do you start? Here are 10 suggestions for bringing more kindness into your family:

1. Model it. The best way to teach your children kindness is not by explaining: it’s by doing. Whether you do volunteer work, mow an elderly neighbor’s lawn or just treat others with dignity and respect, kids pick up on this and want to emulate it. But there’s a caveat: your actions should match your words (that means no being nice to someone in person and then talking about them behind their back!) and you should show respect for others no matter what their financial situation, religion or even personality. And even if someone is not a great person and you dislike them for good reason, you can still be civil.

2. Be kind to your kids. If you run a kind, respectful household, kids learn what it feels like to be treated kindly. That doesn’t mean you never punish a child! But it does help to keep punishments verbal, not physical, and to make sure all discipline comes with an explanation.

3. Reward kind acts. You know how kids love attention: so shower them with it, when they’ve done kind things. Instead of just scolding them for not sharing or being rough with another child, make a fuss when they do share or give. Better still, if your child is ages 6-10, you might want to adapt the "Caught Being Kind" program that Maury Nation, assistant professor at Vanderbilt University and an expert in bullying, has been testing in schools. If you catch your child doing something kind, give them a star on the fridge, and have those build towards a treat such as a special dinner or an outing.

4. Consider the teaching medium. Just for fun, Ted Dreier built a robotic cow in his garage. When he took it to a local school and had it tell kids about kindness things such as saying thank you, giving out hugs and helping to wash the dishes they listened in enraptured silence for 30 minutes. "Kids love Moozie, it’s a medium that works," says Dreier, who now runs the Children’s Kindness Network and www.moozie.com. Turn your kids on to Moozie or another character that they’ll listen to.

5. Read about it. Slip some kind books into your household reading list.

Trying to find a color that works for your skin tone isn’t the easiest thing in the world. Here are some quick tips to help you choose:

1. Fair Skin – If you are a blond or a redhead, you need to stick with dark colors. Your pale skin looks even worse when paired with white. Go with navy, blues, basic black or a sage green.
2. Sallow Skin – If you look a bit yellow or green, you definitely need to avoid wearing these colors. A yellow shirt will just make you look like a giant banana. Go with whites, blues and black.
3. Darker Skin – You have it made. Pretty much all colors work for you. Stay away from dark browns or dull colors that don’t highlight your gorgeous color.

Now, let’s move onto eye color and what will highlight your features:

4. Blue Eyes – If you want to bring out your baby blues, you’ve got to wear blue. Look for shirts that match the color of your eyes. This will really make them more noticeable.
5. Brown Eyes with Red Tones – If you have dark brown eyes that have flecks or stripes of red, you need to go with warm tones to highlight them. Stick with oranges, reds or yellows.
6. Brown Eyes with Green Tones – If you have a hint of green in your eyes, you’ll want to bring it out. Purple, especially plum, is the ideal color to do this. You’ll be amazed at how green your eyes look.
7. Green or Hazel Eyes – These eyes can get lost in a color shuffle. If they are green, wear similar green colors to draw attention to them. Hazel is a little more difficult. Pick the color you want to draw out the most – for blue, wear blue, for green, wear green.

So, that’s out the way…

Let’s move onto what season you are. Yes, this will actually help you find the right colors for you. First, look at the underside of your arm. Do the veins appear blue or green? If they are blue, you are a cool tone. If they are green, you are a warm tone.

8. Cool Tones - Winter/Spring – These skin colors look best in primary colors. Look for bright shirts in teal, purple or Kelly green. You can get away with bold color choices. What colors do you associate with Winter and Spring? This is your jumping off point for color choices.
9. Warm Tones – Summer/Autumn – These skin colors need earth tones. Neutral colors or pale primary colors work best for you. Think of the season to help you pick the right colors.
10. Stuck in the Middle – If you have a skin tone that’s really neither pale nor sallow, you can get away with mixing up your warm and cool tones. Pair bright bold colors with a more subtle earth tone to capitalize on your versatility. For example, a bright blue shirt will work well with a pair of drab khakis.
