I am joining City of Hope in the fight against cancer, by participating in their Walk for Hope September 27.

The money I raise – and others help me to raise – will support the incredible cancer research, treatment and education programs at City of Hope, an amazing cancer center that is saving lives every day. I am walking in memory of my Dad, Jim Ferry Sr.

Please help me achieve my goal by donating money and helping my team. The walk is quickly approaching, and I would really like to meet my goal of $1,000.

Did you know that breast cancer has become the second leading cause of cancer death among women? There are more than 180,000 new cases diagnosed each year, and more than 40,000 will die from the disease. But, I believe we can change these statistics.

So, I have decided to raise $1,000 in donations and you can help me reach that goal, and help City of Hope in the process. Please consider making a fully tax-deductible donation. Send check to Marie Ferry-Phillips, P.O. Box 526, Gloucester City, NJ, 08030. Write Cancer Walk for Hope in the memo area. Also, donations can be mailed directly to the City of Hope.

Help me make a difference today. Thanks,

Marie Ferry-Phillips, Gloucester City

Mount Ephraim Fire Department and MEPRI EMS arrived to remove a female patient for transport to a local hospital. No other injuries were reported on scene. The cause of the crash is being investigated by the Mount Ephraim Police Department.

The use of our catering is not required to rent the hall. But, we do have the best home made food around(hint, hint). We do cater off site still and have a full menu of dishes. Please visit our website at DolsonCatering.Homestead.com . There are a few packages listed on there. But, just email me and I will customize a package just right for your event.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have on the hall or our catering services. Have a great and safe holiday weekend! Thanks,

Rich Dolson

The government has largely been unable to reduce the length of hospital stays, which are four times as long in Japans in the United States. Hospital doctors are often overworked and cannot hone specialized life-saving skills, according to recent reports by McKinsey. Statistics show that the Japanese are much less likely to have heart attacks than people in the United States,but that when they do, their chance of dying is twice as high. There are shortages of obetricians, anesthesiologists and emergency room specialists because of relatively low pay,long hours and high stress at many of the nations hospitals.
