Celebrate an Extra Day This Year and Do Something Kind

Leap of Kindness Day has been the topic of conversation for over six weeks now with the Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce campaign for National Leap of Kindness Day and Leeds Mayor David Miller presenting a proclamation to the Chamber declaring Leap Day, February 29, 2024 as Leap of Kindness Day in the City of Leeds. Businesses and individuals have joined this kindness movement to decide what act of kindness or kindness project they would undertake in honor of this campaign.

With today being Leap Day, we are seeing people all over Leeds busy choosing a project and completing it. We hope that you are choosing to join the kindness movement and do something kind today. We can never have too much kindness in our city and we challenge you to be extra kind today!!!

Let us know what you are doing in honor of Leap of Kindness Day so we can give you a shout out on social media and be sure to use our hashtag #LeapOfKindnessDayLeeds2024 with posting any photos or videos on social media!!

You can visit the Chamber website at https://leedsareachamber.com for more information and to utilize the kindness form provided to send your needs list or your chosen kindness project. You may also send this information by email to Diane Poole at diane.leedsareachamber@gmail.com.

Drayer Physical therapy

For many people, cold weather isn't just inconvenient; it triggers increased pain. Whether you're dealing with a chronic condition, orthopedic problem, or simply the typical aches of aging, the cold can intensify discomfort. Keep your body warm to ease joint pain, promote circulation, and reduce potential stiffness. Regular exercise can also minimize discomfort. Implement some stretches before going outside, and layer up for insulation. And remember to fuel your body with a balanced diet and plenty of hydration for overall well-being. Address aches with physical therapy. It tackles pain's root cause, improves functionality, and boosts mobility.
