Shannon Rasp
"HealthLEADER" with quotes from Maureen
Mayes, M.D.
The
onset of symptoms was so rapid it was frightening, and they
didn’t resemble anything Shannon Abert had ever heard
of.
In
the fall of 2002, Abert was an active, 35-year-old high school
teacher who worked out five days a week. Suddenly, her hands
couldn’t support the weights she lifted every day. She
lightened the poundage she lifted at the gym, but her hands
continued to hurt, and then began turning purple.

Although the first sunscreen product was developed in 1928, it was not until the 1940s that the FDA began to regulate these products.1 On November 21, 1997, Congress mandated that the FDA, in accordance with the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA), regulate the prevention and treatment of sunburn as it does with all other OTC medications. Since then, regulations for testing and labeling have been set forth by the FDA for ultraviolet B (UVB) protection in sunscreen products. Only recently has the FDA proposed rules and regulations about ultraviolet A (UVA) protection in sunscreen products. |

On
May 17, Al Masland will jump into the Susquehanna River in
Ft. Hunter, Pa. and swim to City Island, a distance of about
6–6.5 miles (depending on how well Cindy Dunn, his expert
canoeist/guide, keeps him on course).
Rather
than entertain this quest for his own benefit, Al decided
to swim for a greater purpose—charity. Swimming in deep,
dark, and cold waters, Al has found an even greater inner
momentum to complete his swim: knowing that his personal athletic
endeavors will result in benefiting the lives of others.
