Friends of the Family’s Post

A nice summary of the meeting by Matthew Dale.

Every small act of love and kindness, no matter how seemingly insignificant, contributes to something greater. Mother Teresa's wisdom reminds us that the little things, done with great love, transform the world. 💖 #talisfund #childhoodcancerawareness #childhoodcancerresearch #supportnonprofits #nonprofitfundraising #nonprofitorganisation #braincancer #cancerawareness #fightagainstcancer #ATRT #braintumour #childhoodbraincancer #childhoodbraintumour

What does your donation to Optometry Giving Sight (OGS) support? We use donations from the optometry community to provide grants to partner organizations for projects that address preventable blindness and vision impairment around the world. We fund projects that provide free- and low-cost vision exams and eyeglasses to meet the immediate need in areas where there is little to no access to eyecare. But we are also investing in long-term solutions by helping establish optometry schools in these areas, so that there are more optometrists available in underserved areas of the world. During the last year alone, OGS has funded 21 vision projects with 19 implementation partners. We’ve awarded over $930,000 in grants, and impacted more than 1.5 million individuals globally. Help us give the gift of sight to those in need. givingsight.org/donate

"My daughter and my attendance at Can Praxis in October [2015] brought me hope and discovery and an 'exquisite understanding of pressure and release' in my relationships. I live the communication and conflict resolution/self-mediation lessons learned every single day and will continue to refine my understanding of them for the rest of my life. For these thing and more, I am grateful and give thanks." - Rob, Can Praxis Alumni Testimonies like these are largely due to the tireless contributions of our donors and sponsors. If you're considering supporting Can Praxis financially, now is the perfect time! All throughout March, we're participating in Make it Monthly, an initiative run by our main donation platform CanadaHelps. For each new monthly donation of $20 or more, CanadaHelps will give an additional $20. If 100 donors get started with just that initial amount of $20, Can Praxis will receive $4,000, which is enough for a family or couple to attend Phase 1 of our program! Make your impact via the link below, and don't forget to comment on this post once you have so that we can thank you personally! CanadaHelps donation link: https://loom.ly/TlQZAkM Please note that this initiative only applies to new monthly donors and not one-time donations. Donors who're already making monthly donations or who've made monthly donations to Can Praxis in the past are not eligible. #canpraxis #canadahelps #makeitmonthly #equinetherapy #strongertogether

Are you reaching out to local businesses and entrepreneurs to top up your teams knowledge & skill base? Charities need to be more resourceful and make the most of the invaluable support that is out there. Home-Start Herts have found doing this invaluable - see below.

Hey my lovely LinkedIn Network, I can't believe I've surpassed $1,500 already, this was more than I would have hoped for! I want to thank everyone who has donated thus far. It has meant a lot to me and more importantly, it's helping improve the outcomes of thousands of Children worldwide (not just LA!). I'm shooting for $2,000 by July 21st (currently 83% of goal) and I know you can all help me reach it! We got 3 weeks to go until the big race, but it's never too late to make $1, $5, $10, or even $25 donation! Anything helps: https://lnkd.in/gu7cUwBj Last, but not least, I finally stacked my events together during my workouts, so these times include the collective pain & suffering. My biggest improvement has been swimming where I've seen almost 1:20 100m times. I believe simulating the actual race day along with open-ocean swims 2x per week will help me meet or exceed my benchmarks. Swim 750m: 15 minutes vs. 22 minute | Benchmark: 15 minutes Run 5K: 38 minutes vs. 32 previous | Benchmark: 30 minutes Bike 12K: 26 minutes vs. 28 previous | Benchmark: 40 minutes Overall: 79 minutes vs. 82 previous | Benchmark: 90 minutes Stay tuned for more updates!

Grief, in its ever-changing form, is the price of love. It’s not a weakness nor a lack of faith; it's the essence of our deep connections. It's a passage, not a destination. So, allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, and remember, it's a normal part of the journey. 💛 #talisfund #childhoodcancerawareness #childhoodcancerresearch #supportnonprofits #nonprofitfundraising #nonprofitorganisation #braincancer #cancerawareness #fightagainstcancer #ATRT #childhoodbraincancer
