Cockayne syndrome – type B (CSB) is a profoundly devastating and deadly genetic disorder that is tragically destroying the lives of children, stripping away the promise of their futures. Currently there is no cure or treatment for this rare disease and the only hope for children is development of gene therapy. In Viljem Julijan Association we are on a courageous mission to develop gene therapy for Cockayne syndrome – type B (CSB) and we have partnered with scientists from USA and Portugal who are dedicated to the creation of this vital treatment and are actively pursuing it. Our mission was inspired and initiated by a brave 5-years old girl named Karolina from Slovenia (Europe), who became the beacon of hope for all children with CSB around the world. To bring this vision into reality, the development of gene therapy necessitates substantial funding, amounting to €2,000,000 and in Viljem Julijan Association we have already raised €1,310,000 through the generosity of our supporters. Yet, the path ahead requires further financial assistance to continue this critical research and development. Please help us support the research and development of gene therapy for Cockayne syndrome – type B and contribute a donation. Contributions can be made through PayPal or the GoGetFunding platform (https://lnkd.in/dCH3PVax). By contributing a donation, you are not just offering financial aid; you are investing in hope, in life, and in the future of children affected by Cockayne syndrome – type B. Your generosity could be the key to unlocking a new horizon for many, offering them a chance at a brighter tomorrow.

A genetic health risk could mean you have a change in your DNA that makes you more likely to develop certain types of cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, and other common health risks. Genetic testing to identify these risks is life-saving because knowing early can lead to earlier or more frequent screenings. It can even let you know if certain family members may also be at risk of developing these conditions. When you make a donation to HudsonAlpha's Annual Fund, you're supporting programs like the Smith Family Clinic for Genomic Medicine, that offer genetic testing services to help access this important health information. Make a donation by July 31 and your gift will be matched up to $10,000 by Freedom Real Estate and Capital: https://lnkd.in/gQugiifP #genetics #health #risk #annualfund

Creator of How Not to Say Dumb Shit, a simple means of having better conversations. AKA "the cancer cards"
It's been 17 years since I was diagnosed with cancer. In those years, I've had a consistent drip of texts or phone calls: "Heat, this person in my life just got diagnosed with cancer. What should I say?" "How Not to Say Dumb Shit to Someone Dealing with Cancer" gives you scripts of what to say (and examples of things to skip), as well as a bunch of ways you could be helpful (pick one—don't try to take on the whole list) in an easy-to-use card deck format. It's available right now on Kickstarter. Grab one for yourself, five for your network, fifty for your office. And tell a friend. https://lnkd.in/g9fHTWqm

the survey to understand how genomic testing is being applied in clinical practice across canada is open and we are asking all medical oncologists and pathologist treating or evaluating tumours to fill out the survey. for every survey completed a 20$ donation will be made to the Terry Fox Foundation but if that wasn't reason enough here are 4 more reasons to fill out the survey the survey is available here in English https://lnkd.in/eZQ5T-sw ou en français ici https://lnkd.in/eVP_ReW4 #genomictesting #molecularprofiling #biomarkers

Did you know that a rare disease is defined as one that affects fewer than 200,000 people? Today, on Rare Disease Day, as we do every day, we spotlight NF2, a condition that impacts a small but resilient community of individuals worldwide. NF2 may be rare, but its impact is profound. It's a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of tumors on the nervous system, leading to hearing loss, balance issues, and sometimes even paralysis. Living with NF2 means facing daily challenges that most people can't imagine. But here's the thing: even though NF2 is rare, our hope for a cure is anything but. With your support, we're pushing forward the research in gene therapy at Nationwide Children's Hospital's Meyer Lab. Our mission is to change the lives of those battling NF2, one step closer to clinical trials and, ultimately, a cure. Join us in raising awareness and funds for NF2 research. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal. Let's show the world the power of unity and compassion in the face of rare diseases. Together, we can make a difference! Donate here: https://buff.ly/4c35L9w #RareDiseaseDay #NF2 #NF2Awareness #NeverForget2LivewithHope

TeacherActive are raising money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic and progressive genetic disorder that primarily affects the respiratory and digestive systems. This condition results from mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene, leading to the production of thick and sticky mucus. This mucus can clog airways and ducts, causing various complications and affecting the overall health of individuals with CF. 🍋 Donate Today: Your financial support will directly contribute to ongoing research initiatives, medical advancements, and support programs for individuals and families affected by cystic fibrosis. 🌻Spread the Word: Share this post with your friends, family, and social networks. Awareness is a powerful tool, and together, we can reach more people, garnering increased support for this important cause. 💛 Donate Now and Be a Beacon of Hope! https://lnkd.in/ekv5iv_t Your generosity will not only fund critical research but also provide hope and support to those who need it most. Let's stand together, united in our mission to breathe hope into the lives of individuals with cystic fibrosis. #pridepassionpeople #TeacherActive #cysticfibrosis
