Jordan Brown and three other volunteers provided inspiration Wednesday at the United Way of Lebanon County’s first report meeting for the 2010 campaign.

Brown, an 11-year-old South Lebanon Township boy, is selling olive-green “Hang Tough” wristbands to raise money for a monument to be built in Normandy, France, to honor Maj. Dick Winters and all the men who served there on D-Day. Winters, who lives in Hershey, assumed command of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, shortly after parachuting into France in the early morning hours of D-Day, June 6, 1944. Easy Company fought across Europe and eventually captured Hitler’s “Eagle’s Nest.”

Brown announced his effort has raised $20,000. Forlocations to buy a bracelet or for more information, visit the website hangtough6644.org.

2010 Export Awards Finalist

SYDNEY – Wednesday 29 September, 2010 – Australian company, Mediband, developers of the Mediband range of medical ID wristbands and Mediband Plus medical information portal are pleased to announce that they have been selected as finalists in the Australian Institute of Export Premier’s NSW Export Awards. The Premier’s NSW Export Awards are designed to showcase the State’s top exporters and by doing so, promote them as role models, encouraging other businesses to strive for the same levels of success in world markets.

“It’s such an accolade to be nominated as a finalist in the Emerging Exporter category. We’re just thrilled to be selected as a finalist in such a prestigious awards program, which does so much to promote the achievements made by Australian companies in the ever increasing export marketplace,” commented Michael Randall, Managing Director and Co-founder of Mediband.

“With so many Australians dying each year as a result of allergic reactions, anaphylactic shock, heart attacks, incorrectly administered drugs and other preventable medical conditions, we feel sure that Mediband’s range of medical ID ‘alert’ products can go a small way to preventing deaths in Australia, but also in other countries around the world,” he added.

If you are being treated for an illness or injury, the last ting you need is to be treated with a medicine that will give you a setback.

That’s exactly what happened to Fetham first aider Malcolm Cole and now he is keen to prevent it happening to other people.

Mr Cole discovered he had a penicillin allergy 20 years ago after a nasty reaction to a doctor’s treatment.

He has been a voluntary first aider for 25 years and delivers paediatric instruction for Surrey First Aid Training, so he is aware of the importance of making medical staff aware of all allergies and conditions.
