Imagine losing 15 percent of your energy… permanently.
In 2006, our founder, Scott Keffer, and his son, Josh, had just returned from a father-son campout when he thought that he had contracted the flu. Within days, he began a two-year battle with an autoimmune disease. His body was battling against itself – in his liver, gastrointestinal tract, and mostly in his eyes.
The battle inside his body raged for two years, requiring steroid pills and drops to finally achieve victory and put to rest the internal coup. In the end, the attack claimed 15 percent of his energy, which would never return. It alerted him to the need to stay healthy… and particularly keep the immune system strong.
One of the best ways to keep yourself strong and healthy is giving. There are studies surrounding the health benefits of giving – everything from reducing stress, to sleeping better, to reducing heart attack risk, to strengthening your immune system.
Remind your donors that giving has real health benefits – for them and their whole family.
Get healthier today. GIVE.
