Book - Every Step is a Gift by Josh Lasky
Dr. Julie DiGioia would like to recommend the book "Every Step is a Gift" by Josh Lasky to her patients, friend, caregivers and community. It is available in print and on Kindle from Amazon and other book sellers.
Here is a brief summary about the book from Amazon.
According to AARP, 78 percent of people find themselves in the position of caregiver to a loved one at some point in their life. But not many will embrace ultramarathons as a coping technique.
Every Step Is a Gift: Caregiving, Endurance, and the Path to Gratitude explores Josh Lasky’s eleven-year journey as a caregiver to his father who battled Parkinson’s Disease. Josh was just twenty-one when he took on this Herculean responsibility, and although his story is unique, it is also universal.
In his uplifting and life-affirming journey, Josh’s service to his father turns into a personal source of strength for him after deciding to ride his bike, alone, from Washington, DC to Portland. Along the way he discovers his love for endurance sports while also uncovering the realization that, although caregiving can be challenging, it can also be empowering.
Whether you’re a caregiver, an athlete, or just dealing with the hardships of the human condition, this book can help you to find meaning in the struggle—and become stronger and more grateful in the process.

Bags of Love at offices of Julie DiGioia and Stephen Hall
Many “Bags of Love” were delivered in March to the Jersey City offices of Hall-DiGioia Center for Breast Care for distribution to patients of Dr. Julie DiGioia and Dr. Stephen Hall.
The Bags of Love Foundation is a not for profit organization headquartered in Bayonne, NJ. The foundation’s president, Maria Perez, accompanied the bags personally to Jersey City. “It’s an honor to support the vital work of Drs. DiGioia and Hall, who care so deeply for the welfare of their patients,” said Perez.
The Bags of Love care packages were donated to the practice for use by breast cancer patients having ports inserted for chemotherapy. The bags contain comforting patient necessities like a soft blanket, water bottle, lotions, lip balm, and a stress ball, all of which are accompanied by written notes with words of love and encouragement to the newly diagnosed patient.
“It is such a pleasure to see how Maria Perez and the Bags of Love Foundation team are conveying comfort, hope, and kindness to strangers who are facing the anxiety and fear of breast cancer,” said Dr. DiGioia. “We are very appreciative of their generosity and support,” she said.
Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients from the Jersey City, Hoboken and Bayonne areas who would like more information on Bags of Love should email Michelle.ashley@rwjbh.org or attend a monthly Support Group meeting the first Tuesday of each month at the Jersey City office of the Hall-DiGioia Center for Breast Care.
Yoga For Breast Cancer Suvivors
In April, the Hall-DiGioia Center for Breast Care was pleased to welcome certified yoga instructor Mercedes Bermejo to their offices.
Drs. Hall and DiGioia recognize that breast cancer treatment and recovery can place a lot of stress on patients and survivors, so they invited Mercedes to the monthly Patient Support Group meeting at their Jersey City office. Mercedes led the group in a 45 minute chair yoga seminar, which proved to be relaxing and stress relieving for all.
"Stress management during treatment and recovery is so important in the overall health and well being of a patient, so we were so happy to have Mercedes leadus in a yoga seminar," says Dr. Julie DiGioia.
"We all felt great after the session!"
