Guest guest Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 TONIGHT IS MEN;S HEALTH NIGHT- LIGHT A BLUE BULB TO HONOR THE MEN WE LOVE November 21 is the world’s first annual Men’s Health Night. We are askingevery home to light a blue light to honor the men we love, those who are living and those who we wish were still with us. One blue light bulb, one night a year, one evening to show that we care about the men in our lives. November 21 is and will be the evening that we, the people light the light of awareness, warmth and strength in our homes. On this night men commit to taking care of their health to insure they will be with us for many more years. On this night women commit to making sure their men make an appointment to see the doctor, to insure that they will be with us for many more years. When you turn on a blue light and think to yourself, “I ought to make a doctor’s appointment,” then Blue Moon Night has done its job. We need to say to ourselves that we are worth taking care of, that our lives are worthy of health and happiness, that I will to asking my doctor what tests I need to stay alive. November 21 2010 is the Night of the Blue Moon. We don’t want men to wait to see a doctor until the next blue moon. Too many men die, too young, for no good reason. Many diseases can be treated, life extended if diagnosed early. Malecare, our country’s national men’s cancer survivor nonprofit, developed Men’s Health Night, but we want you to own it yourself. On November 21, we will light a blue light and think about how we can care more about the men in our lives, and take better care of ourselves. It is time to speak up. LIGHT THE LIGHT.
