Invisible Disease
PRESS RELEASE: 21 June 2024 / Lenawee County
When I moved my family to Clinton Village in 2021, I had no idea how much our lives would change. I was drawn in by the cute Victorian homes, and the historical presence of the rural community. Little did I know that the reality of a family like mine moving into the community would have so many immediate negative repercussions. Despite my love of our new home and the idealism of a country lifestyle, only a few people wanted us to share in their same happiness. Life over the past couple of years has changed drastically.
We first came to Michigan to take care of my then nine-year-old son Ben. Ben was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer at the age of 2. He has had three reocurrences and one aneurysm during that time. In 2020, he had his last reocurrence which resulted in seven weeks of gamma knife radiation treatment to a little over a quarter of his brain in the front left parietal lobe. The remaining scar tissue affects various aspects of the brain. He also has 36 staples, bolts, and plates in his brain and parts that are keeping his skull together.
Ben looks like a regular boy. His disease is what we call invisible because to look at him, you would never know he has brain trauma. He is the epitome of a cancer warrior! I thought Clinton Village was perfect for us. The motto is exactly what I’ve always said about Raising Ben. “It takes a Village.”
My naivete was shattered because of the constant turmoil we’ve encountered with the Clinton school system, The Village Inc. and the local police. The problems started immediately after living in the village for only a few weeks. The police became a consistent presence at our front door, prompted by our neighbors who felt we needed formal reprimands for a variety of reasons which included having a dangerous carport, owning a loud pocket dirt bike, and complaints that our front and backyard lawns were apparently too long. These are just a few of the supposed violations that were cited by our neighbors and that compelled them to report us to The Village headquarters and/or the police department.
During this time, we as a family tried to be good neighbors, were always friendly, smiled, said hello, and continued to offer baked goods whenever possible. They weren’t having it!
The Clinton elementary school held an IEP meeting, upon my request, to help Ben in school when we arrived in 2021. Ben had a few minor needs that required attention such as additional breaks during class time to give his over-stimulated brain a rest, extra help on assignments, assistance from a paraprofessional a few hours a day for redirecting and fine motor skill attention, as well as ADHD and non grand mal seizures (Epilepsy). The control factor for the implementation of Ben’s IEP is ongoing. He needs brakes when he feels overwhelmed, and that time cannot be scheduled.

Ensuring Healthy Diet
Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement requires energy expenditure and this includes walking, sports, active forms of recreation (zumba, yoga, etc.) and tasks in the house (cleaning, carrying, etc.).
According to the United States Department of Health & Human Services, there are four types of physical activity: 1) aerobic 2) muscle-strengthening 3) bone-strengthening and 4) Stretching
Aerobic -Also called endurance activity, involves the use of large muscles such as those in the legs and arms. This activity benefits one's heart and lungs the most.
Muscle-strengthening - improves strength, power, and endurance of muscles
Bone-strengthening- makes bones strong. In this activity, the feet, legs, or arms support the body's weight, and the muscles push against the bones. Weight-bearing physical activity causes new bone tissue to form, and this makes bones stronger. Examples of bone-strengthening activities are running, walking, jumping rope, and lifting weights.
*Muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening activities also can be aerobic, depending on whether they make your heart and lungs work harder than usual. For example, running is both an aerobic activity and a bone-strengthening activity.
Stretching- helps improve your flexibility and your ability to fully move your joints. Touching your toes, doing side stretches, and doing yoga exercises are examples of stretching.
Exercise, on the other hand, is a form of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive and purposive.
Exercise is performed during leisure time with the primary purpose of improving or maintaining physical fitness, physical performance, or health.
So what are the benefits of physical activity?
Prevention, delay or management of non-communicable disease
Weight management
Muscle and bone strength
Better sleep -Exercise has been shown to improve sleep for people with sleep disorders such as insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea. Exercise may also reduce insomnia by decreasing arousal, anxiety and depressive symptoms. People who engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise may see a difference in sleep quality that same night. Although the effects of aerobic exercise on sleep appear to be similar to those of sleeping pills, more research is needed to compare physical exercise to medical treatments for insomnia
Mental health-include prevention of depression and anxiety disorders, increase in self-reported happiness, lower levels of sadness and loneliness, reduced stress and reduced risk of cognitive decline
Sport can help reduce infant, child and maternal mortality and improve post-natal recovery by increasing personal fitness of mothers
Promotes overall well-being
What is the difference between physical inactivity and sedentary behavior?
Physical inactivity refers to a level of activity that is lower than that required to maintain good health or lower than recommended guidelines. Sedentary behavior, on the other hand, is any waking behavior characterized by an energy expenditure ≤ 1.5 metabolic equivalents, such as when a person sits or lies down for long periods.
A person can do enough physical activity to meet the guidelines and still be considered sedentary if he or she spends a large amount of the day sitting or lying down at work, at home, school, or during leisure times. Examples of sedentary behavior include sitting or lying down while watching television or playing electronic games, sitting while driving a vehicle or while travelling, and sitting or lying down to read, study, write, or work at a desk or computer.
Two areas of healthy living that people have control over are diet and physical activity, which go hand in hand.
The risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancers of the breast, colon, prostate and other organs increase steadily with increasing body mass.
When trying to lose weight, eating a healthy diet alone does not guarantee weight loss. Nor does physical activity alone guarantee that a person will lose weight.
The DOH developed the PNGPA in consultation with experts in 2010. The recommendations are as follows:
For children, 5-12 years:
At least 60 minutes daily consisting of any one or a combination of the following physical activities:
Active tasks - active travel, daily tasks
