Prizes, health expo,kids 50-yard dash and MORE TO COME! <strong>HP</strong> recognizes cancer survivors with free services at annual event Eli Fraerman, Editorial Intern Highland Park resident Barbara Paget feels that while Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day, the event she organizes, does not significantly change year to year, it is important to regularly make people aware of the event, which took place June 4, as there are new cancer diagnoses annually. “Last year I walked into the salon the day of the event and a woman came up to me and said ‘I know there have been articles every year but I never really paid attention to it because it didn’t affect me and last year I was diagnosed with cancer and this day means so much to me,”’ Paget said. Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day is an opportunity for cancer survivors to receive beauty and wellness treatments for free at participating salons throughout locations in Highland Park and across the U.S. on a day meant to honor them on the first Tuesday in June. This was the 16th year of the event. “Cancer survivor beauty and support day started in one salon right on Sheridan Road and today it is in all 50 states plus Canada and Puerto Vallarta,” Paget said. “It reaches millions of men, women and children cancer survivors regardless of their type of cancer or when they were diagnosed. It is a day not just of a beauty service but of support and celebration of life.” “I was watching TV and I learned about a spa in northern California where so many of their clients were being diagnosed with cancer that they decided to have a spa day. Actually, they do something every day. I looked at the TV and I said, ‘I can do that.’” Initially started in the salon Femme in Highland Please see event, 14 2019 Inaugural Healthy Living Expo and 5K promotes wellness • Education • Entrepreneur • Financial • Health & Wellness • Hospitality & Dining • Large Company (51 employees or more) Know a real go-getter?

Increased workloads and family responsibilities are factors for many as Americans too often put their own personal wellness on the back burner. For those looking for ideas and information on how to improve their health, the inaugural Healthy Living Expo promises to provide the perfect setting to meet all your wellness needs. Dozens of health and wellness vendors will be part of this exciting new health fair Sunday, Aug. 25, at Northbrook Court, 1515 Lake Cook Road. “We have done this event the past three years in our Southwest suburban area and have had really great success,” said Heather Warthen, chief events officer of organizer 22nd Century Media, publisher of The Highland Park Landmark. “We were looking to bring a new event that was health-focused to the North Shore so it just made sense.” For those so inclined, a chance to run a 5K is also in the mix Aug. 25. The 5K and expo begin at 8:30 a.m. with the latter running until 1 p.m. In addition to the 5K, there will be a Kids 50-Yard Dash. Walkers are also encouraged to take part in the festivities. Health and wellness vendors will be set up for consultation post-race with family-friendly activities abound. Chicago Sky Kids Zone will have a variety things for children to do at the all-ages event. “While our south event is held in January, we thought the end of the August would be a perfect time with families getting ready for the new school year,” Warthen said. Registration for the 5K is $35 and includes a race T-shirt. Registration deadline is Aug. 9. People can register for the 5K by visiting 22ndCenturyMedia. com/5K.
