"Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it."
~Plato
There has been a growing realization that many Americans, both young and old, are out of shape. While there are a myriad of reasons for this condition, one of the main causes for the XL lives of many people is the lack of exercise. Too many people think that 'exercise' is a dirty word, it is too difficult to do, something to be avoided at all costs, and there are as many excuses not to exercise as there are sweat glands in the human body (about 2 million).

Free song download, "Love is Plural", from Rehabmart to benefit children with cancer at Camp Sunshine
Rehabmart.com has made a contribution to "Our 10K" at Always Saturday to benefit children with cancer at Camp Sunshine in Decatur, Georgia. Always Saturday is a fun and inspirational Atlanta-based musical group dedicated to creating bright songs and spoken-word stories for families that connect communities and benefit kids. The founding members comprise Marc Castelo, Donny Todd and Dan Fishman who are absolutely dedicated to composing thoughtful songs and stories that celebrate family, and all three believe in the power of music to inspire kids, connect people and enrich lives. Their debut record, "Love is Plural" consists of both songs and spoken-word stories, and is based on one simple phrase: "love is all around us." Inspired as fathers and by working with special needs families, love has impacted their lives in some very powerful ways. Continuing in this spirit of love, they decided to use this music to benefit families affected by cancer at Camp Sunshine. Two more musicians, Doug MacMillan (The Connells, Mommie) and Annie Hyra (The Hyras, Billy Pilgrim), who both just happen to be cancer survivors themselves also perform on the record.For Always Saturday, music and stories are a great way to connect communities and to help raise awareness and funding for outstanding family-related organizations, such as for Camp Sunshine.
The group hosts 'Love is Plural' benefit events, like the Sunshine Family Fest in 2011, and their "Bright Story Hours" for school and community centers. In late 2011, Always Saturday introduced the 'Love is Plural 10K', with the goal of reaching 10,000 song downloads of their song, "Love is Plural" for kids living with cancer at Camp Sunshine. For $1, anyone can download the song and all proceeds will directly benefit Camp Sunshine's local projects and summer camps for families whose children are battling cancer. Always Saturday is additionally looking for "10 companies that 'Kare'" to help them reach their 10,000 song download goal. Companies and businesses can pay for and download a certain amount of songs that can then be given away for free to their own employees and customers. Rehabmart.com is one of these special donors who have 500 free song downloads of "Love is Plural" to give away and to help share the love. Free downloads from Rehabmart can be found by 'liking' their Facebook page at Rehabmart's Facebook Page.
Camp Sunshine was founded in 1982 by pediatric nurse, Dorothy Jordan. It began as a summer camp for children with cancer and held its first camp in 1983 with 44 children, and started to expand to other programs in 1987 when the first Family Camp Weekend was held. Today, over 375 campers and 200 volunteers participate. While summer camp is still the largest program Camp Sunshine provides, it is only one of many recreational programs held throughout the year, including family camp weekends, teen retreats and activities, pre-school programs, young adult programs and sibling camp, as well as educational and support programs. "We are thrilled to be able to help raise awareness and to contribute directly to the success of Camp Sunshine," said Hulet Smith, Founder and CEO of Rehabmart. "What a great concept from Always Saturday for businesses to not only help out financially, but to continue to share the love with their own employees and customers. We hope that by sharing this free song downloads, that others will feel inspired to participate and share as well. Camp Sunshine is much more than a camp. It is a program that offers an infusion of love, support, fun, acceptance and hope for children with cancer. This is a great way to give some love back to this outstanding organization."

Rehabmart continues to grow! To keep up with increasing sales, Rehabmart has added two new staff members to the company. We have added one member to our Data Entry Group to help update and review our website entries and one member to our Customer Service Group to help with customers' product questions.
One of the reasons that Rehabmart is becoming a major player in the durable medical supply field is due to the partnerships with professional companies like Bongo. Rehabmart has partnered with Bongo International, our freight forwarding and International Logistics Shipping Partner. You can set up an account with Bongo International at https://bongous.com/. Bongo will establish a physical US address for you where they will receive your US orders. Additionally, they perform a few security checks where they confirm your new Bongo account both with you and your credit card company. This protects you (the International Customer) and us (the Merchant). Rehabmart then ships your products to your personally assigned US Bongo mailing address. Bongo handles domestic delivery of your order, they consolidate all of the items you have purchased, even if the items are from multiple website vendors, and then they safely pack everything into a box, and ship your goods to your home address in your home country.
Go Outside and Play! - UV Protective Clothing for Children
Moderate exposure to sunlight is very beneficial for most children and adults and leads to many healthy reactions in the body such as the synthesis of vitamin D and the prevention of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). A sunny day generally engages more of us in outdoor activities which promote more movement and exercise as well. (Go here to read more of this Rehabmart article)
Rehabmart would like to introduce some valued new vendors to our site, allowing for more great choices and services for our customers.
