Dear All,

We are fundraising again for the Atlantic Humanitarian Relief October '23 Mission to Syrian Refugees in Jordan - see www.atlantichumanitarianrelief.org for more detail.

There are still c 800,000 children, women and men incarcerated in Camps, mainly in Northern Jordan. There are 4 Kildare Volunteers (including Brendan O' Shea and Corinna Hopkins) joining an international group of c 80 volunteers in total, doing an intense week of Family Medicine, Dental and Surgical Care in the camps, and in some of the surrounding hospitals.

Volunteers self fund their own travel and accommodation, and the funding is for the purchase of medical and dental supplies, and Operating Theatre Time for Surgical and Dental procedures.

We are running a concert in St Brigid's Cathedral in Kildare (Friday October 13th at 7.30 for 8.00 pm, which will include a very pleasant and engaging program of Choral, Chamber Music and Organ Music, all easy listening, including Organist Arthur Green, formerly Organ Scholar at Trinity College Dublin and now at Christchurch Cathedral.

There will also be a raffle (fabulous prizes !), and two very brief talks on the circumstances faced by Syrian refugee families, and on the Mission and how it works.

The AHR Mission runs twice yearly, in October and May...

The evening is particularly suitable for families (esp Transition Year Students), and the Cathedral is a wonderful venue for it.

Details for both Ticket purchase for the concert, or to just Donate directly are on Eventbrite - see flier attached to this email.

New Year Resolutions....

People frequently come into the Clinic looking for 'a full check up.'

It's a very open ended idea - what can it usefully include ?

The things that are especially useful are....

1. Your exercise habit. 4-5 X (30 to 40) minute sesions of sufficient intensity to double your resting pulse, of anything that achieves this - walk/jogging, a gym work out, badminton, home gym, the swimming pool, cycling - ideally a mix of 2-3 of these is good. If you have no exercise habit, take a look at Dr Mike Evans fabulous You Tube Video '23 and a half hours' to get yourself off the couch !

2. Your Weight. Calculate your BMI using the www.safefood BMI calculator, and get into the habit of accurately checking your weight - weekly until you achieve your BMI of
