Recently I had the oppurtunity to make an appearence at an annual event that is put on by my church each year entitled Trunk or Treat. Trunk or Treat provides a safe place for trick or treaters of all ages to come and recieve all of the Halloween candy they need. Every year I have gotten to hand out candy to kids from the back of my trunk. This year was very exciting because I got to hand out candy with a special message. My platform "It's No Joke, Say NO to Smoke," is a movement I have created to prevent teen smoking. I have watched both of my grandfathers suffer from lung cancer and emphysema because of the decision they made to start using tobacco in their teen years. As I handed out candy to the kids they recieved the special message of smoking prevention. I was able to spread the message to 350 kids! I decorated my trunk with tips as well and want to share what each child learned.
Smart decesions lead to a healthy lifestyle
Active! Stay Fit!
You Play it Safe, No experimenting!
No Joke, Get with the program, smoking is out of style
Outsmart the risks! Heart disease, cancer, emphysema, and stroke are not for you!
I hope you see it! SAY NO!
I saw a lot of great costumes including a UPS man, Salt and Pepper, and many princesses! I believe that promoting my platform is the most important thing I can do as MRRVOT. Stay tuned for more of my appearences with my platform.
Always,
Paige
