Fred K's Cancer

Improve your Cancer Treatments with Fitness

2012-01-05T06:28:00.000-08:00

A cancer diagnosis, though it may feel like it, is not the beginning of the end; it is the beginning. When your doctor breaks the unbearable news to you that you are suffering from a rare form of cancer, such as mesothelioma, it is easy for you to feel defeated – in addition to an array of other emotional extremes. Mesothelioma doctors will go over your treatment options and what to expect during the process of treating your cancer. While the information your doctor provides you with is all new and confusing, you may be surprised to hear that your doctor will recommend that you start or continue a regular fitness program.

The American Cancer Society has issued statements regarding the benefits of physical activity and fitness for cancer patients and survivors. Regular exercise increases quality of life, which increases the chances of surviving and overcoming a diagnosis of cancer. Of course, your fitness routine may change drastically once your cancer treatment begins; however, it is important you still maintain a level of physical activity as recommended by your mesothelioma doctors. During the course of your treatment and your recovery, your body may not be able to handle activities you once were able to do effortlessly. However, it is still beneficial to your health to incorporate some type of physical activity into your life several times a week, if not daily.

Don’t become defeated if you cannot exercise one day. If you haven’t the energy to take a long walk one day, take a short one around the couch, or just get out of bed to get your own glass of water instead of allowing someone else to get it for you. That small bit of physical activity, though it may not seem like it, is extremely beneficial to your health.

Fitness and exercise during and after cancer is so paramount to your quality of life that many hospitals and fitness facilities across the country are now offering yoga and other fitness classes for those living with or overcoming cancer. Ask your doctor about your fitness routine to find out what is okay for you to participate in and what you can incorporate into your life to help improve the quality of it. Fitness promotes better health, which helps your body handle the extreme treatments used to fight cancer, which will give you a better chance at overcoming this obstacle.

Fred K’s Cancer June 26, 2011

2011-10-09T09:16:00.000-07:00

Unlike last year when the air was heavy with humidity, we arrived at Cantiague Park nice and early for set up and were greeted with a beautiful sunny and clear day. Lisa and Fred #2 set up registration…

…while Serena arranged the goodie bags. This year’s goodie bags were extremely special. The New York Mets bags were donated by the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation. The first 15 walkers who registered and paid their registration fee received a New York Mets gym bag. The remainder of the walkers received a New York Mets beach tote. Each bag contained the walker’s walk t-shirt, a bottle of water, a coupon envelope filled our sponsor’s business cards as well as the business cards of key supporters (Nicole Giannakakis—Avon representative and Fred K’s Cancer Executive Director, Sylvia Nasser—The Fit Fem, Pat Darienzo—Magician Extraordinaire, and Kimberly Konzack-Fazio—Arbonne Representative), a bottle of Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard with SPF 30 donated by Nicole Giannakakis, a Biotene pack that included an oral rinse and toothpaste donated by the Oral Cancer Foundation, Oral Cancer Foundation maroon silicone bracelets donated by the Oral Cancer Foundation, a Traveling Baseball Babes bumper sticker, and assorted printed materials.

Since it was still early and our photographer, Antonio Cruz hadn’t arrived yet, Nicole snapped some photos of the progress.

In this photo: Constantine Giannakakis

At registration, we arranged for Fred K’s Cancer’s Treasurer and Secretary, Mary Gerolimatos (aka: Mamadukes) and Roberta Hirsch, to man the fort during the walk to assist late registrants and sell handmade New York Yankees and New York Mets-colored beaded bracelets, tootsie pops, raffle tickets, and Fred K’s Cancer silicone bracelets.

In this photo: Constantine Giannakakis

The turnout was even better than last year! Over 30 walkers plus lots of kiddies came out to walk in support of the Freds!

Everyone immediately put on their snazzy walk t-shirts. Shirts were created by CustomInk.com (thank you, Stephanie Kerr!) and generously sponsored by Ambelos Construction, The Main Event Restaurant & Sports Bar, Omega Speaker Systems, Sergio Britto Contracting, and Theodoros Papageorgiou, CPA.

In this photo: Sylvia Nasser

A few enthusiastic individuals chose to run the event…

In this photo: Tara Salvati, Kristy Morgan, Lisa Leone, Lauren Wadalavage, Ashley Azzata, and Christine Salerno

…but most of us walked at our own pace.

In this photo: Sylvia Nasser, Cindy Brown, Tasha Riley, Jessica Topper, Jared Ahne, Pat Darienzo, Lisa Leone, Fred Ahne, Vincent Sordillo, and bringing up the rear, Fred Leone

Fred #2’s wife, Margaret Leone, son-in-law, Mike Morgan, and granddaughter, Sophia Morgan all walk in support of Fred #2.

Sophia is pictured here with Fred #2 just prior to the walk beginning. Fred #2 had been diagnosed with oral cancer in 2003.

Drew Kane, Max Einsidler, and Sarah Einsidler walk in memory of Max’s grandfather and Sarah’s father, Barry Einsidler who’d been diagnosed with oral cancer in 2004.

Sandy Einsidler and Amy DeVito also walk in memory of Sandy’s husband and Amy’s father, Barry.

Jared Ahne and his girlfriend, Jessica Topper (pictured here with Pat Darienzo, Fred Ahne, Jenn Doncer, and Vincent Sordillo) walk in support of Fred #1, who had been diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2008.

Jenn Doncer and her friend, Vincent Sordillo walk in support of Jenn’s father, Michael
Doncer, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer in February of this year.

After running the entire trail, Kristy Morgan and Tara Salvati joined the Leones and Morgans in walking for Kristy’s father, Fred #2.

Maryann Catalano, Lauren Fischer, and Jack Fischer (Shane Fischer pictured in stroller) all also walk in support of Fred #2.

Nicole and her charming son, Constantine walk for Constantine’s father, Angelo Giannakakis, who had been diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2004.

And of course, the reason why we work so hard to make this walk a successful event, The Freds:

In this photo: Fred Ahne, Serena Ahne, Lisa Leone, and Fred Leone

Heading into the walk, we had raised a total of $2,000 with a goal of $3,000. After the walk, it was time to total up the dollars we raised on the day between raffle sales, merchandise sales, and donations. We surpassed our goal by $400!! Sophia and Constantine helped us to color in the thermometer.

Ta da!

Post Event Details: We accepted donations for the 2011 event through July 31^st. Immediately following the walk, we continued to receive donations and held a garage sale in which every single dollar made was donated to Fred K’s Cancer. The garage sale alone made $550! We also received the check from Nicole’s 2^nd Annual Avon Online Fundraising Event. The event exceeded last year’s amount by $100, raising $140! On July 31^st, we ended up with a total of $4,000 raised that was split between the Oral Cancer Foundation and the Sean Kimerling Testicular Foundation.

Fred K’s Cancer June 20, 2010

2010-07-20T12:57:00.000-07:00

Registration began at 8:30 am, so The Freds and TBB met at Cantiague Park at 7:00 am in parking lot #2 in order to set up the registration table and install the trail markers.

At the table, we hung a poster that Lisa made of a thermometer tracking our fundraising process. We were at $1,600, $400 shy of our goal. We figured that once we collected everyone’s registration fee, we’d be up to $1,700, which we felt was still pretty good considering our poor start and that it was the first Fred K’s Cancer event.

Serena created a poster that showed support for the victims of oral and testicular cancer, as well as conveyed just how many people had been touched by the diseases. In addition to the people that we were walking in support of or in memory of, the poster included the names of celebrities who had been diagnosed by one of the diseases. To name a few: George Harrison, Aaron Spelling, Humphrey Bogart, Eddie Van Halen, and Bruce Paltrow were all diagnosed with oral cancer. John Kruk, Mike Lowell, Sean Kimerling, Scott Schoenweiss, and Lance Armstrong all suffered from testicular cancer.

We made sure to have brochures on hand as well as a few items to sell in support of Fred K’s Cancer such as awareness pins, raffles, and beaded bracelets.

Each walker received a gift bag with their event t-shirt, a water bottle, brochures regarding Fred K’s Cancer, Oral Cancer Foundation, and Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation, assorted items from the foundations, as well as a variety of free samples donated by our Avon representative, Nicole Giannakakis, and Vita Zorbo of the Lady of America Fitness Center in West Hempstead. The event t-shirts were generously sponsored by The Main Event Sports Bar & Restaurant in Plainview and created by customInk.com.

You may recall that we created “Captain’s T-shirts” for us, The Freds, and Nicole. All t-shirts had hand-sewn baseball patches on the sleeves and last names on the back. Fred #2 and Lisa wore gray t-shirts, the primary color for the Oral Cancer Foundation whereas Fred #1 and Serena wore navy blue for the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation.

Our last names were in the color yellow, since yellow is shared by both foundations. The numbers on the backs of the t-shirts represent The Freds’ diagnosis years.

Since Nicole walked in support of her husband, Angelo, who’d been diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2004, she wore the colors of Sean Kimerling. To make her shirt a little different from ours, we created a yellow t-shirt with navy blue lettering on the back. On her back was the numbers “04.” Baby Giannakakis wore a specially made white onesie with the “We Walk for Fred” logo on the front.

Once the registration table was complete, we left The Freds in charge while we set up the trail markers.

Since we’d been without rain for a few straight weeks, the dirt was as hard as cement. We were forced to hammer the sticks into the ground.

Sometimes we were successful…

…at other times, we were forced to be creative:

The day was brutally hot and oppressively humid, which is atypical for June. Despite the weather, our walkers seemed pretty upbeat and excited.

Max walked with his sister, mother, grandmother, Aunt Sarah, and friends of Sarah’s in memory of his grandfather, Barry Einsidler, who’d been diagnosed with Oral Cancer in 2004.

Mamadukes and Mama L. volunteered to stand at predetermined posts on the trail to help guide the walkers to the finish line. Once they reached their designated spots, we were ready to get this show on the road. Fred #1 couldn’t walk due to a recent surgery on his spine, therefore he and Lisa stayed at the registration table in case any latecomers arrived and to solicit support from other park-goers. Before kicking off the event, we took a group photo (in retrospect, we should’ve done this before Mamadukes and Mama L. reported for duty).

In this photo: Drew Kane, Max DeVito, Sandy Einsidler, Amy DeVito, Nicole Giannakakis, Wendy, Schack, Sarah Einsidler, Kristen Sliasky, Kristy Morgan, Fred Leone, Lisa Leone, Artie Tergesen, Jared Ahne, Serena Ahne, Fred Ahne, Roberta Hirsch, Vita Zorbo, Nick Zorbo, Joe Zorbo, Charlie Zorbo, & Kaitlin Hoffman.

Serena led our little ducklings on their way. Fred #2 accompanied her.

After a few feet, however, the ducklings began to make their own way and walk (or in some cases, run) at their own pace.

Brother brought up the rear, ensuring that no walkers got left behind! He also collected the Moms as he passed their designated posts.

Kaitlin Hoffman walked in memory of her brother, Peter Hoffman, who’d been diagnosed with oral cancer in 2008. Her fiancé, Mike Caruso, was kind enough to photograph the entire event for us. Majority of the pictures you see on Facebook and in this post were taken by him.

The Moms ended the race, whie Brother carried their chairs back to base.

Once the race drew to a close, we decided to count what we made in donations, registration fees, and purchases.

We ended up hitting $2,300 total!

Lisa made sure to update our thermometer. Mike encouraged her to get a little crazy.

Post Event Details: We decided to accept donations until July 1st just in case we had any stragglers. The gamble paid off. We ended with a total of $2,400, exceeding our goal by $400! Nicole’s Avon event raised a total of $40.26

With the financial backing and assistance from Mary Gerolimatos (aka: Mamadukes), we’re working toward filing for non-profit status in hopes that it will generate more interest and support for Fred K’s Cancer. We look forward to our 2011 event and will keep you posted!

To view more photos of the event, check out the Fred K’s Cancer Facebook page.

Edit (8/8/10): We incorrectly stated that Barry Einsidler had been diagnosed with Oral Cancer in 2008. The actual year of his diagnosis was 2004 and we've corrected this mistake. We apologize for the mix-up!

Thanks for Your Support!

2010's Raffle Prize Winners!

2010-06-22T17:46:00.000-07:00

We pulled the raffle winners while watching a Real Housewives of New Jersey marathon on Bravo later in the evening following the Fred K's Cancer event. Mamadukes witnessed each raffle pull in order to make sure that we didn't play favorites and that we stayed on track...because let's face it. We get distracted easily.

We decided to tackle the big fish first, which Mamadukes was the most interested in: A men's Cypress St bicycle made by Giant and donated by the Tulip Bike Shop, located in Floral Park, NY. While the Manzos vowed never to speak of Danielle again, Serena shook up the plastic jar containing the bike raffles. Lisa pursed her lips together and made mock drum roll sounds. Serena extended the jar toward Mamadukes and allowed her to pull the winning ticket. Mamadukes glanced at the blue ticket between her fingers and announced, "Linda Judice." Lisa and Serena shrieked indiscernible cries of excitement and jumped up and down, slapping each other five. Linda works with Serena and is like a second mommy. She has been very supportive and encouraging of our Fred K's endeavors.

Once we finished the celebrations on behalf of Linda, we got down to business. We had a bunch of other raffle prizes to give away. Lisa shook up the raffles for the first prize, a baseball autographed by Long Island Ducks' pitcher, Joe Valentine. The winner of this glorious gift from the the Ducks is Kim Hastings! Yay for Kim!

Now, we proudly present to you the winners of the remainder of the prizes:

A voucher for (4) Field Level tickets to a select Mets home game during the 2010 season - Mark Zucco
(2) Derek Jeter Fathead Juniors - Adrien Chavez & Neil Bisciell
Sterling silver Return to Tiffany Heart Tag necklace - Tasha Riley
Silk flower arrangement designed and created by Country Arts in Flowers - Roberta Hirsch
Avon Strawberry Flower gift basket - Grace Jablonski
(6) wine baskets - Brian McNamara, Kathy Maher, Maxine Spooner, Pat Darienzo, Theresa, & Frank Calandra
Mini-chocolate fondue set made by Mud Puddle Books - John Scaliso
Coffee set made by OGGI Corporation - Cindy
Fred K's Cancer t-shirt - Debra Cooper

Congratulations to our all of winners. You will be contacted within the week in order to arrange for the delivery of your prizes. Thanks to all that entered the contest! Your contributions went directly to the Fred K's Cancer foundation.

Bellmore Spring Festival 2010

2010-06-16T13:26:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the late posting, but with all the activities we've been doing in order to prepare for Sunday's event, we've been quite busy! Please forgive us!

May 29, 2010: The Traveling Baseball Babes and Miss Avon USA 2010, Nicole arrived at the Bellmore train station at the grey hour of 7:00 in the morning. The weather did not look promising, the sun blotted out by dark rain clouds and a strong, brisk breeze reeking havoc on the vendors’ stations. The man in charge directed us to a parking spot on the Sunrise Highway side of the fair near the Center Avenue traffic light. Despite being the only “booth” without a tent or more than one table, we set our display cheerfully.
Since we only had one table, it didn’t take us long to finish setting up. By 7:45, all we had left to do was sit around and wait for customers to arrive…and the fair wasn’t scheduled to begin until 10:00.
Nicole brought Avon catalogues and samples to promote her Fred K’s Cancer online event (and potentially attract loyal customers). The previous evening, we had baked brownies and cookies to sell for $2/each. Also on hand were our raffle tickets, sexy homemade bracelets, awareness pins, and tootsie pops. For people not interested in purchasing anything, we were prepared to hand out even flyers and brochures regarding Fred K’s Cancer, the Oral Cancer Foundation, and the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation.
At first, we didn’t get a lot of attention from potential contributors, but in their defense, we had zero experience in this department and were clueless as to how to sell our Fred K’s Cancer concept to strangers. Initially, we greeted passerbies with smiles and “Good Morning. How are you? Have a nice day.” They responded with polite nods and continued on their way. Eventually, Nicole had had enough. She grabbed a bunch of Avon catalogues wrapped in Fred K’s Cancer flyers and basically forced them upon people. Serena followed suit, handing out flyers and brochures in front of the table to anyone walking by and Lisa called out to customers, encouraging them to support a good cause. Our first sale was a brownie.
Finally, the sun showed itself and we rolled. We scored some very ridiculous tan lines, but sold a few raffles, bracelets, and tootsie pops. The baked goods were a huge success. We nearly sold all of them before finding it necessary to slash prices (2 baked goods for $1) as we neared the end of the day. The pins were a bit of a failure unfortunately. Apparently, if people were going to donate $1 to the cause, they’d rather get 2 tootsie pops than an awareness pin.
We earned $306 by the end of the day. At the time of posting, our total currently stands at $1,500 with just days before the big event. Even though the walk takes place this Sunday, we will continue to accept donations until July 1st.

Fred K's Cancer Raffle Prizes

2010-05-10T09:26:00.000-07:00

As previously mentioned, we're looking to do two "mini-events" in order to drum up interest and donations prior to the Fred K's Cancer walk on June 20th. Raffle tickets for some pretty awesome prizes will be sold for $1 each or $10 for an arm's length of tickets at both events. Items up for grabs are:

a Joe Valentine autographed baseball, kindly donated by the Long Island Ducks
2 Derek Jeter Fatheads, donated by the Traveling Baseball Babes
a necklace from Tiffany's, donated by Nicole's sister, Annie Matthews, a Tiffany's employee
a silk flower arrangement designed and created by Country Arts in Flowers in West Hempstead, donated by Roberta Hirsch
an Avon gift basket created by Nicole Giannakakis
6 wine-themed baskets, contents donated by Mary Gerolimatos
a coffee-themed basket, contents donated by Lisa Leone
a mini-fondu set, donated by Lisa's sister, Kristy Morgan

We're also working with a local bicycle store in hopes that a bike will be donated to raffle off for Fred K's Cancer. If this venture is successful, the bike will be raffled off at the Lady of America gym in West Hempstead. Tickets will be sold for $5.

Edit (May 25, 2010): The coffee-themed basket is actually a coffee-themed set donated by Lisa Leone. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Confessions of a She-Fan Promotes Fred K's Cancer!

2010-04-28T06:37:00.001-07:00

We are pleased to announce that Jane Heller, author of 13 books and writer of the blog, Confessions of a She-Fan, was kind enough to promote Fred K's Cancer in her posting last night. Here's what she had to say:

"Before I sign off, I'd like to give a shout out to she-fans extraordinaire and friends of this blog, Serena and Lisa, whose own Traveling Baseball Babes is one of my favorite blogs. They're organizing a terrific fundraising event in Hicksville, LI in June called "Fred K's Cancer." Both of their fathers are named Fred and both men are cancer survivors (and big baseball fans), so Serena and Lisa decided to educate people about their diseases in a very special way. They created a Fred K's Cancer blog, so please check it out and read about their fab event!"

For those of you who are interested, Confessions of a She-Fan is a well-written and informative blog following the New York Yankees.

Thank you for your support, Jane!

Fred K's Cancer Strategic Planning

2010-04-24T19:48:00.000-07:00

We kicked off the day by heading off to Cantiague Park in order to perform a "mock" Fred K's Cancer event. After discussing the location of registration and plotting how many trail markers we'd need, we hit up the crafts store and grocery store to buy some Fred K's Cancer related merchandise prior to our strategic planning meeting scheduled for that evening.

First item on our meeting agenda? Captain's t-shirts. Lisa and Fred #2 will be sporting grey t-shirts with yellow writing (the Oral Cancer Foundation's colors), Serena and Fred #1 will be wearing navy blue t-shirts with yellow writing (the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation's colors), and Nicole, our lovely Avon Event representative, will be rocking a yellow t-shirt with navy blue writing (her husband had been diagnosed with testicular cancer several years ago). The ladies' shirts will have an adorable little softball player decal, while the Two Freds' shirts will get a little baseball player.

While Serena sewed small baseball patches to each of the shirts' sleeves, Lisa tackled the issue of decorating a number of coffee cans to be left at local stores for fundraising.
Nicole had the misfortune of analyzing the bracelet situation.There were a few bead explosion incidents at first...

...prompting slight insanity and the need for a lot of wine and pizza. However, once Nicole figured got into a groove, the bracelets started coming along easier. Unfortunately, by that time, we were tired and in need of some rest so we closed shop for the night. We did manage to come up with a few items to raffle off at our mini fundraising events like wine-themed baskets and this silk flower arrangement:

We may have a lead on a potential sponsor for the event's t-shirts, but we'll keep you posted on that front as more confirmed details come in. In promotion related news, the event has officially been posted to the Events Calendar for Newsday!

What is Fred K's Cancer?

2009-11-15T13:39:00.000-08:00

What is Fred K’s Cancer? We’re glad you asked. Fred K’s Cancer began in 2009 when we couldn’t find a proper event dedicated to raising money and awareness for Oral Cancer and Testicular Cancer. While the cancers may seem unrelated, there is a reason why we chose these particular diseases to support. Both of our fathers are named Fred (hence, Fred K’s Cancer) and are cancer survivors. Lisa’s father had been diagnosed with oral cancer in 2003 and Serena’s father had been diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2008.

Since we couldn’t find a satisfactory avenue through which we could support our fathers, we chose to organize an event ourselves. All donations raised through Fred K’s Cancer will be split between the Oral Cancer Foundation and Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation. Both foundations are registered 501(c) 3 non-profit charities. We hope to educate people about oral cancer, a disease in which they may not be familiar with, and the importance of self-examinations in order to catch testicular cancer at its earliest stages.

You may also be asking yourselves, why a baseball theme? We actively write a blog called “Traveling Baseball Babes” regarding our travels to the different MLB stadiums and news around the league. We’re hoping to use this forum as a platform to help raise awareness and donations to the cause. Both of our fathers are baseball fans, so we think coupling baseball with this event makes it more personal.

The 1st Annual Fred K's Cancer Event in June of 2010 at Cantiague Park was an enormous success, beating our fundraising goal of $2,000 by $400! In November 2010, Fred K's Cancer, Inc. became incorporated in New York State and in July 2011, a 501(c)3 public charity. We know that with the economy, things may be tighter than normal for many of us, but even if you can spare $5, it will truly make a difference. With your support and generosity, we can help strike out cancer together.
