MFV was honored to attend Roc the Holiday, a fundraiser benefitting the Roc Solid Foundation. The program provides play sets and "Ready Bags" for families fighting pediatric cancer. It was a great night to show support by putting together 8 out of 160 Ready Bags containing items that families may need for an unexpected hospital stay.

There are many possible hazards when it comes to operating power washing machines, but with a few safety tips you can get the job done and be safe while doing it.

Wear earplugs or muffs
Wear a rain suit to protect you from the disinfectant chemicals

Identifying Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a contagious and inflammatory liver disease caused by infection with the Hepatitis A virus. Rates of infection have decreased by 95% since a vaccine was introduced in 1995, but there are still around 2,500 cases a year in the US. Many people do not have symptoms, especially young children. Symptoms might include fever, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, dark-colored urine and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), loss of appetite, and abdominal pain, and may appear between two and six weeks after exposure.
