Countdown to Impact: 5 Days Left in the April Head and Neck Cancer Alliance Move-a-thon 🏃♀️🙏 As the sun sets on this pivotal month, our shared journey of compassion and support takes on a more urgent pace. There are just 5 days left to contribute to a cause that’s much more than a statistic; it's a lifeline for those battling head and neck cancer. I set out with an ambition – a concise, yet significant goal of raising $150 through the Move-a-thon. This sum symbolizes hope – the equivalent of a night at a hotel for a travelling patient or easing the burden covering some essentials on treatment day. Each donation is a beacon of comfort, providing essentials like a gas card, parking, lunch, and sometimes the priceless gift of child care. While the road ahead is paved with possibility, the present moment reflects a challenging truth. I currently stand at 83% of my fundraising target. "The distance between where we are and where we aspire to be is measured not in miles but in moments of generosity." I humbly ask you to consider the value of your daily coffee – could it instead fund a gesture of immense value? A few dollars could mean the world to someone enduring the most challenging fight of their life. Together, we can fill these last few days with action and purpose. Let's rally to offer more than just relief; let’s provide a sanctuary of support for at least one patient in need. To donate, simply click on the link https://lnkd.in/e_d95i2c Your contribution, no matter the size, will weave into the tapestry of someone’s survival story. Let's make these remaining days count! Thank you for standing with me, for them. #HeadAndNeckCancer #HNCA #Moveathon #Support #Donate #CancerCare #MakeADifference

LinkedIn friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers, I’ve decided to lace up my running shoes again this month, embrace the sweat, and run 100 miles in July for a cause close to my heart: Cancer Research UK (CRUK), with a specific focus on early diagnosis as in most cases the earlier we diagnose Cancer, the greater our chance of beating it. Coming up to the end of week two, I'm on 29 miles, but I'll be past 50 by the end of the week and on track to hit 100 and beyond! I'm proud to say that I'm not doing this challenge alone. I'm joined by some absolute legends from work: Rob Winter, Sophie Andrews, Catherine Gwilliam, Ben Leslie, Garry Hughes, Nick Loxton & Olly Simpson. Why 100 miles? Because running 101 seemed excessive...... My Goal? To raise £500. That's £5 from 100 people or £10 from 50 people, or, well, you get the idea. Every penny counts, and your support, as always, keeps me going and raises funds for this worthy cause. How Can You Help? Donate: Any amount, big or small, will make a huge difference. Even the cost of a coffee could be a step towards beating cancer. Share: Spread the word like you’re sharing the latest viral cat video. The more people who know, the more we can raise! Join me on this journey and make these 100 miles count! Together, we can do our bit to raise money that could be life-changing to so many. Please donate now and track my sweaty journey here: https://lnkd.in/eiC_rhiP Thank you from the bottom of my soon-to-be-tired feet. 🙏 #CancerResearchUK #100MilesInJuly #EarlyDiagnosis #RunningForACause #HelpMeOutrunCancer #CRUK #Fundraising

Well, this isn’t exactly work related but I’ll show you how it can be at the end of the post: I’m cycling to raise money to help fight children’s cancer. This fundraiser goes on from September 1st to the end of September but I wanted to go ahead and share this in case anyone is interested in donating. Here’s the deets: cancer takes 38 children each day. Many of my friends are parents, so I’m sure you all can understand how heartbreaking a cancer diagnosis is on a family, especially for a child. Money raised here is for the Children's Cancer Research Fund which creates safer treatments, improves outcomes for kids, and supports the whole family as we strive to end childhood cancer. Children's Cancer Research Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Tax ID Number 41-1893645. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent permissible by law. How this works for me: I’m cycling on my bike. I’m going to be wearing some GCC (this event) swag to help spread awareness. I am also committing to cycling at least 100 miles in September to help spread awareness. If we pass my donation goal, I will add 1 mile for every additional dollar donated (it just might take me longer than September to make it happen, endurance is not my strong suit). Here’s how this relates to you and your job: a lot of employers will match donations, some up to certain amount, others indefinitely. If you’ve ever wanted to change someone’s life, this is your opportunity and your employer might make it even easier for you to do so by matching your donation. Additionally, US citizens should be able to deduct this donation off their taxes, too. Here’s a link to donate (it would mean a lot to me): https://lnkd.in/gP6CcM8m

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many of you know that 2022 was my year to contend with diagnosis, treatment and recovery. The non-profit organization that was so helpful for me in navigating the journey was The 4th Angel Peer to Peer Mentoring Program at the Cleveland Clinic. I was matched with a peer about my same age who contended with a similar diagnosis. She and I connected on Zoom and email so I could get support at a very confronting time in my life. On my birthday in 2022, I launched a fundraiser to fund this vital program and folks in my community came forth to donate over $3100. It was the happiest birthday gift ever to get to make this happen with such resounding support. I'd love to keep the giving going, which is why I am trying something new. Instead of giving away my media one sheet template (thousands of people have done so to date), I am inviting folks to give $5 to the 4th Angel Peer to Peer Mentoring Program in order to receive it. I'd love to raise $1000 or more for this cause with your support and the support of others you know. That would be 200 donors who get something valuable in return for their $5 donation. You get my tried and true media one sheet template that helps you show up as media ready, on message and ready to give extreme value as a guest on the right podcasts for your message. If you feel inspired to give to get this month, this is the link to make it easy to do! Cut, paste and share generously if you feel inspired. https://lnkd.in/gyyntPmY #breastcancerawarenessmonth #givetoget #givingback #4thAngelPeertoPeerMentoringProgram #theclevelandclinic

October is Cancer Awareness Month, a time to shed light on the importance of regular health check-ups. Early detection can be a game-changer in the fight against cancer.

This month, we also encourage you to think about organizing an event to get involved and raise funds for a cause that has touched so many lives. It could be a bake sale, a charity run, or any event that brings us together to make a positive impact.
