Team Ali Gaiters to hold 19th annual Clambake to raise funds for Golisano Children's Hospital
After Ali Klube received open heart surgery as a child and was treated weekly at the Golisano Heart Center, her family decided to give back to those facing similar challenges.
'The day that we walked out with her healthy heart, her healthy functioning heart was the day we knew we had to give back. And so we wanted to help future Ali's that walk through the door,' said Jackie Klube, Ali's mother.
Today, Ali Klube is 22 years old.
'We're lucky that we have grateful parents like Jackie that want to give back because it brings in these crucial funds for us to be able to, you know, purchase equipment that is needed to help more patients like Jackie's daughter, Ali,' said Sarah Craig, Associate Director for Community Affairs of Golisano Children's Hospital.
The clam bake will be held at the Honeoye Falls Fireman's Training Grounds located at 1321 Monroe Street from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m.
Attendees can expect all-you-can-eat food while supplies last, beverages, clowns, costume characters, bounce houses, and raffles. It will also include a live music performance by Nick LeDuc, Grit and Grace, Axton Landing, and Genessee Junction.
The event costs $45 for adult tickets in advance and $55 at the door, with tickets for those aged 13 to 20 costing $10. Admission for children 12 and under is free.
Advance tickets can be purchased by calling (595) 704-4124 or in person at the following locations:

Buffalo children's hospital to be renamed after $50M Golisano gift
The children's hospital in Buffalo will have a new name following a massive donation from a Rochester billionaire. The John R. Oishei Children's Hospital, the only standalone children's hospital in the state, will become the Golisano Children's Hospital of Buffalo in January 2026. The name change follows a $50 million donation from Thomas Golisano, the founder of Paychex and the Golisano Foundation. 'I consider Buffalo, NY part of my hometown community, and am proud to make this investment in the heath of its children. This support is about ensuring that every child, no matter their circumstances, has access to the highest quality care close to home,' Golisano said in a statement. The hospital opened in November 2018 with a gift of $10 million from the John R. Oishei Foundation and is operated by Kaleida Health. The $50 million from Golisano will be used to support advanced, specialized pediatric care, with equipment, technology and patient support programs among the benefits listed. 'As a Buffalo-native, who had the opportunity to complete my residency at Golisano Children's Hospital in Rochester before returning here to serve my hometown community, I understand what it means for our organization to be part of the Golisano family of children's hospitals,' said Dr. Stephen Turkovich, president of Oishei Children's Hospital. 'Though we remain rooted here, as part of Kaleida Health, this partnership allows further collaboration and support in many ways with the other children's hospitals that benefit from Mr. Golisano's philanthropy.' There are three existing and unaffiliated Golisano Children's Hospitals in Rochester, Syracuse and Naples, Florida. Golisano's philanthropic efforts include an announcement of donations totaling $360 million to charities in Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse last fall. The nonprofit organizations include those in healthcare, education, animal welfare, disability services and general community needs. The awards will be paid out over a four-to-five-year period. — Steve Howe reports on weather, climate and the Great Lakes for the Democrat and Chronicle.

Women May Be More At Risk For These Injuries With Age—Here's How To Protect Yourself
THE SECOND EPISODE of The Future You features an empowering conversation around how to future-proof your joints, ligaments, and muscles so they can serve you for the long-haul. Host and editorial director Rich Dorment poses the questions: 'How can I feel better in this body, how can I make it perform better, and how can I make it last so that I can be doing what I want when I'm 40, 60, 80?' To answer this, Rich gets the perspectives of Gus Kenworthy, a professional skier and Olympic silver medalist who 'has subjected his body to all manner of trials and traumas,' and Ali Krieger, who endured broken bones and torn ACLs and MCLs on her groundbreaking journey to two World Cup titles with the U.S. Women's National Team—and an NWSL Championship win with Gotham FC in 2023, the year she retired from pro soccer. And to help make sense of everything that happens to the body when we get injured—and simply as we age—is Michael J. Alaia, MD, sports medicine surgeon and professor of orthopedic surgery at NYU Langone Health. Here's a look at some of the themes covered in the episode: How men's and women's bodies change as they get older For women, risk of osteoporosis increases after menopause due to hormonal changes, Dr. Alaia says. Women also have more of a risk for ACL tears and stress fractures compared to men, he says, for a variety of reasons. The importance of cross-training This helps to avoid constantly stressing the same joints and the same muscles. Ali discusses her experience with Pilates and yoga which she calls 'hidden fitness within stretching and activating.' How to evolve your training routine as you age '50 is like the new 30,' Dr. Alaia says, adding that people are increasingly more active with age. With this comes the necessity to modify your fitness routine, including pulling back on reps, sets, and weight, in order to stay active for many more years to come. What's really happening when your joints click …and whether you should be worried about it (spoiler: it could be air pockets and unless there's pain, you probably don't need to stress!) Learning to listen to your body and understanding we're not invincible 'If you feel as though something's going to happen, slow it down,' Dr. Alaia says, and this sentiment is echoed by both Ali and Gus. The next frontier of regeneration: biologics Dr. Alaia talks about this exciting category which includes Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and stem cells. The regen practices that folks in their 40s, 50s, and 60s should be doing …including focusing on more sleep (and establishing a solid routine) and considering ice baths, sauna treatments, contrast therapy. How nutrition impacts injury prevention and recovery Dr. Alaia suggests a focus on anti-inflammatory foods and considering quality as well as quantity. And Ali discusses how she adjusts her diet during different phases of her menstrual cycle, including when she's more likely to opt for steak. Ultimately, the conversation ends on a high note with both Ali and Gus talking about all the fitness pursuits still on their bucket lists. For Ali, that includes a half or full marathon and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. For Gus, it's more broad: 'Even when I'm done skiing, I still want to do things to push myself and push my body,' he says, pointing to a 600-mile charity bike ride he did last year from San Francisco to LA. At the end of the day, both athletes are looking forward to many more years of healthspan and musclespan, something we can all aspire to as well, regardless of age.

Does Getting Fit Guard Against Colorectal Cancer?
Evidence continues to mount that building cardiovascular fitness can help lower an individual's risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The latest study — a sweeping analysis of 643,583 individuals, with more than 8000 cases of CRC and 10 years follow-up — found a consistent, inverse, and graded association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and the risk for the development of CRC — a benefit similar for men and women and across races. CRC risk was 9% lower for each 1-metabolic equivalent (MET) task increase in CRF, objectively measured by an exercise treadmill test. When assessed across CRF categories, there was a progressive decline in CRC risk with higher CRF, Aamir Ali, MD, and colleagues with Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Washington, DC, found. Compared with the least fit individuals (METs, 4.8), the CRC risk was 14% lower in those falling in the low-fit CRF category (METs, 7.3), 27% lower for moderately fit people (METs, 8.6), 41% lower for fit individuals (METs, 10.5), and 57% lower for high-fit individuals (METs, 13.6). Moderate CRF is attainable by most middle-aged and older individuals, by engaging in moderate-intensity physical activity such as brisk walking, which aligns with current national guidelines, the authors said. The study was published online on July 28 in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The results dovetail with earlier work. For example, in the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study, men with high mid-life CRF had a 44% lower risk for CRC and a 32% lower risk of dying from cancer later in life men with low CRF. A recent meta-analysis for the World Cancer Research Fund estimated a 16% lower risk for colon cancer in people with the highest levels of recreational physical activity relative to those with the lowest levels. A recent UK Biobank analysis using accelerometers linked higher daily movement to a 26% reduction in risk across multiple cancers, including bowel cancer. Taken together, the data suggest that 'the more you exercise, the better your overall health is going to be — not just your cardiac fitness but also your overall risk of cancer,' Joel Saltzman, MD, medical oncologist at Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center, Cleveland, noted in an interview with Medscape Medical News . Can You Outrun CRC Risk? In the US, CRC is the second leading cause of cancer mortality, accounting for 51,896 deaths in 2019. The economic burden of CRC in the US is significant, topping $24 billion annually. And while the incidence of colon cancer has decreased in older individuals during the past 3 decades, the incidence in younger adults has nearly doubled during the same period, 'underscoring the limitations of screening programs and the critical need for risk factor modification,' Ali and colleagues wrote. 'There is good evidence that exercise and healthy lifestyle/diet have significant benefit overall and as well for some potential risk reduction for colon cancer,' David Johnson, MD, professor of medicine and chief of gastroenterology, Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia, told Medscape Medical News. 'There are clearly suggestions of why this makes sense via the beneficial effects of exercise and physical activity in CRC pathways including but not limited to regulation of inflammation and aberrant cell growth/cancer pathways,' Johnson said. He emphasized, however, that exercise and lifestyle are not the best way to prevent CRC. 'Appropriate screening, in particular by colonoscopy (by skilled physicians who meet high-quality performance national benchmarks) to detect and remove precancerous polyps, is the best approach for prevention,' Johnson said. 'At this point — albeit exercise is potentially helpful and a great general recommendation — my most current advice as an expert in the field, is that you cannot outrun CRC risk,' Johnson said. Can You Outrun CRC Recurrence? Prevention aside, the data thus far are even more supportive of risk reduction for patients who have had CRC and are targeting reduction of recurrence, Johnson said. Perhaps the most compelling study was recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The CHALLENGE trial enrolled patients with resected stage II or III colon cancer who had completed their adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with recurrences within a year of diagnosis were excluded, as they were more likely to have highly aggressive, biologically active disease. Participants were randomized to receive healthcare education materials alone or in conjunction with a structured exercise program over a 3-year follow-up period. The focus of the exercise intervention was increasing recreational aerobic activity over baseline by at least 10 METs — essentially the equivalent of adding about 45-60 minutes of brisk walking or 25-30 minutes of jogging three to four times a week. At a median follow-up of nearly 8 years, exercise reduced the relative risk for disease recurrence, new primary cancer, or death by 28% ( P = .02). 'This benefit persisted — and even strengthened — over time, with disease-free survival increasing by 6.4 and 7.1 percentage points at 5 and 8 years, respectively,' Johnson noted in a Medscape commentary. The CHALLENGE results are 'very compelling,' Bishal Gyawali, MD, PhD, associate professor of oncology at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, noted in a separate Medscape commentary. 'If you compare these results with results from other trials, you'll see that this is a no-brainer. If this were a drug, you would want to use it today,' Gyawali said. Saltzman told Medscape Medical News patients often ask him what they can do to help prevent their cancer from coming back. 'I would sort of say, 'Well, eat a healthy diet and exercise,' but I didn't have a lot of good evidence to support it.' The CHALLENGE study provides 'the proof in the pudding.' With these strong data, 'it almost feels like I should be able to write a prescription for my patient to join an exercise program and that their insurance should cover it,' Saltzman said.
