I love summer – can’t help it everything about it is awesome.  I never complain about the heat no matter how hot it gets.  I love the beach and don’t mind the sand that trails through my house afterwards because there is nothing more relaxing that sitting by the ocean.  I could never live far from the ocean because I would just miss it too darn much.  I have even been known to head to the beach at sunrise in December to get the “perfect picture”.

At this time of year everyone is busy barbecuing, swimming, playing ball, gardening camping and all those other wonderful activities we try to cram into 2 short months. Road trip vacations to cottages and campgrounds abound as do summer concerts and festivals.  It’s hard at this time of year to think of anything but sunshine and relaxation, unfortunately summer is also a very busy time for hospitals.  Emergency rooms are busy with kids who have had bike accidents or require stitches and casts.  People still get sick and our nurses and doctors still have to work, all that means we still have to raise money.

Since I started with the Health Services Foundation 4 years ago giving has gotten a lot easier.  Donate online – it takes less than 3 minutes and you can do it from the comfort of your own home while the steaks are on the barbecue, and the ice tea is chilling in the fridge.  Online donating is secure easy and over before you know it!  You even get an instant receipt, how much easier could it be.

Summer is all about keeping things simple and we make giving easy by just clicking a button.  Take some time to donate to your local hospitals they are still there in the summer to make sure you are well looked after.
