There are just over 24 hours left to donate before the end of the financial year ❤️ Living with a chronic disease like cystic fibrosis (CF) often means frequent hospital stays, which can last at least two weeks and involve intense physiotherapy and strong antibiotics administered through an IV drip. On average, people with CF will have two hospital stays a year, though some may have as many as six. The length of stay depends on the reason for admission—chest infections usually require a minimum of two weeks of intravenous antibiotics, but other admissions may be shorter. For children like Heath diagnosed with CF, this also means parents need to take time off to be there for their children. At Cystic Fibrosis Australia, we are constantly striving and advocating for a better future where people with CF experience a higher quality of life, less time in hospital, and ultimately, finding a cure. Please support our cause by donating this end of the financial year. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible. Donate Here: https://bit.ly/4e3VnPJ 💪 Together, we can make a difference. 💪

Breakthrough T1D Supporter | Military Spouse Advocate | Relationship Builder | Business Development
Crescent Hotels & Resorts and the Williams Family have come together to match donations up to $1,000 to the JDRF Mid-Atlantic Chapter 💙 JDRF One Walk 💙 TODAY! I’m raising money for the JDRF One Walk because I believe in a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D). T1D is a serious autoimmune disease that impacts millions of people and cannot be prevented or cured – YET! People who live with T1D regularly monitor their blood-sugar level, inject or infuse insulin through a pump, and carefully balance those doses with eating and daily activities to prevent uncomfortable, and even dangerous, side effects. Every single day. JDRF is leading the fight against T1D by funding research, advocating for policies that accelerate access to new therapies, and providing a support network for millions of people around the world impacted by T1D. But they can’t do it without our support. If you feel so inclined, I hope you will support this great cause! No donation is too small, and every dollar truly makes a difference. Thanks for helping us reach our team goal! https://lnkd.in/eSiFDyMW

#IceBucket10 ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS—it robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. And what’s even worse is that right now, there’s no cure. It’s going to take all of us, working together, to finally see a world without ALS. 2024 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge. On August 6th at 1:30pm, PVS will host the Ice Bucket Challenge to support the cause and aid in finding a cure. Some PVS Leaders will get a bucket of confetti and some will get a bucket of ice cold water. Guess what? You determine who gets drenched with which item. The Top 3 based on donations get ice and the others get confetti. Donations for the Ice Bucket Challenge run until Monday, August 5th.

Harry was only 10 when his dad died as the result of an asthma attack. He was at a restaurant with his family when the attack came on. He didn’t have his reliever on him and he was taken to hospital in an ambulance. “When I tell people how my dad passed away, they’re shocked that asthma can kill you,” Harry said. “To many people, asthma is just something that, ‘Oh, you get shortness of breath. Sometimes you can’t run. It doesn’t kill you’. People are shocked to find out that it can and does – about 400 Australians a year.” “My dad should have gotten better preventative care. Who knows what that may have done for him?” “I don’t want other children to lose a parent – or their own lives – when death could be avoided with better asthma management, education and research.” This year, your donation of just $10 could be the contribution that changes everything for people with asthma.
