The Future for Children’s Post

I’m excited to kick off my campaign today for the American Heart Association’s Leaders of Impact. Over the next 7 weeks, I’ll be joining other local leaders in supporting the American Heart Association’s mission to create a healthier Upstate. Living with Cerebral Palsy has given me a unique perspective on health and wellness, especially as a full-time wheelchair user. I’ve learned how crucial it is to care for our hearts, and I’m passionate about finding practical ways to lead a healthier lifestyle, even when life isn’t as physically active. One of my key goals is to spark a conversation about making fitness more accessible for people with disabilities. Right now, a lot of adaptive workout programs are aimed at seniors, leaving younger individuals like me without the resources we need. I’m committed to pushing for more inclusive fitness options that work for everyone. Another important part of my campaign is raising funds to support local food pantries in Upstate South Carolina that were affected by Hurricane Helene. Ensuring health equity in our community means making sure everyone has access to healthy food and essential resources. If each of my friends could donate just $15, we’d hit my fundraising goal in less than 24 hours!

The world in which we live is a terrible place, with suffering on every hand. However, there are wonderful organisations and individuals dedicated to caring for others, often unseen, but offering hope and a future to many. At Zappshelter, we believe in helping those less fortunate than ourselves. After many years of supporting multiple charities and performing random acts of kindness, we decided to establish the Zapp Foundation - a vehicle for donating a substantial chunk of our profits to philanthropic causes every year, and for highlighting the excellent work of others. Kindness is like wildfire: once it gets going, it spreads rapidly, providing light, hope, warmth and comfort to those who need it most. Even the smallest act of compassion towards others can make a lasting impact. This isn't virtue-signalling or just a box-ticking exercise for our corporate social responsibility charter. No, it's a way to highlight the hitherto unseen work our founding family does for those in need. If just one other person sees our efforts and decides to do something themselves, the effects could be exponential. A kindness explosion - imagine that! 😊 #Kindness #compassion #care #charity #help #support #Zappshelter #familybusiness #protectwhatmatters

When we started Gus, Graham and I found ourselves talking a lot about “impact”. And not just in the “let’s pepper some buzzwords into a deck” sort of way, but in a “how can we orient everything we do around creating meaningful and lasting impact not just for our partners but for the world at large” sort of way. In an industry where it’s so easy to sell the disposable, nothing felt more important. Which is why I couldn’t be more excited about the launch of our new initiative with Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day charity, the Childhood Dreamstakes, where every donation to end Childhood Poverty also enters you for a chance to win a real-life Childhood Dream experience. Our mission with Childhood Dreamstakes was simple - raise donations for an incredibly worthy cause in a way that focuses on the positive outcomes we can create together rather than the  negativity of the problem we set out to solve. Because positivity always wins. Always. When we really dug into it, that positive outcome came down to one simple word; childhood. Helping to end childhood poverty literally means giving kids more of their childhood back, removing stressors that allow them to live their most joyous, carefree lives. And what better way of raising awareness for it than by reminding grown-ups of how special, and worthy of protecting, that unique sense of childhood joy truly is. A big thank you is owed to our incredible partners, especially ED. who helped us bring our dreams to life, and of course to the Comic Relief US team, who held hands with us and ran at this idea with everything they had. Now, let’s rack those donations up, folks! Head to https://lnkd.in/dkyQqQAu to donate today. If you ever wanted to frolic in your very-own cotton candy castle, there’s never been a better time. #creativity #innovation #dogood #4change

Pawsitively Bears Day #1: The inception of Teddy Bears with Heart traces back to a personal challenge during my divorce. Faced with the dilemma of what to do with 450 bears stored in boxes that I had collected through the beanie bear craze, a conversation with a friend who happened to be a fire captain sparked the initiative. I didn't want to throw the bears away, he volunteered to take a few off of my hands. I then started thinking, who else could use bears so I started looking. I have always been one of those who "see a need, fill a need" kind of people. As TBWH grew we decided we wanted to be a non-profit. At the time it cost a lot so I did some online research and found Good Bears of the World. They have been in business since the 70s and did exactly what I wanted to do. I contacted them and they agreed to let us be a Den. Since 2008 we have given out over 200,000 stuffed animals and are gifting to first responders and other agencies in over six counties, not to mention throughout the U.S. and Internationally, when we can. The primary mission of Teddy Bears with Heart is to provide comfort to children in crisis, the forgotten elderly, and the terminally ill. Importantly, TBWH emphasizes our commitment to being a resource during times of genuine need, steering away from serving as mere Christmas gifts, prizes, or incentives. The focus remains on offering support and solace to those facing challenging circumstances. www.tbwh.org/donate #shareabearbecauseyoucare #pawsitivelybears #TeddyBearsWithHeart #NonProfit #Support #Comfort #Resource #FirstResponders #ChildrenInCrisis #Elderly #TerminallyIll

🚴♂️ 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 500𝐤𝐦 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞🚴♂️ This May, I am proud to be participating in the 2024 Magic Ride, a 500km cycling challenge through the Hunter Valley, to support Feel the Magic, a charity dedicated to providing grief education to children who have experienced profound loss. As a team sponsor (Jay Anderson Property), our goal is to raise $15,000 – that's $30 for every kilometre of the ride. How You Can Help: 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Help us reach our fundraising goal. Donate: https://lnkd.in/ghHCKHPb 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝:  Share this initiative within your networks to increase our impact. 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞: There are a few spots available for those who wish to participate in this meaningful event. Imagine the pain of losing someone dear to you at a young age. Sadly, this is the reality for 1 in every 20 children aged 7-17, and over 300,000 children in Australia will experience the loss of a parent before they turn 18. The impact of losing a parent at a young age leaves a lasting imprint on a child's life, leaving behind scars that may never fully heal. Research reveals the devastating toll it takes, showing how it disrupts not only their present but also their future. From strained relationships to academic struggles and occupational challenges, the repercussions are far-reaching. Tragically, this pain often leads to harmful coping mechanisms, mental health issues, substance abuse, and an increased risk of suicide. The ripple effects are profound, shaping their journey long after the initial loss. This is where Feel the Magic steps in to provide these children and their families with the support they need to find solace, strength, and the opportunity to embark on a path toward healing. Feel the Magic’s work is crucial, and the need is great. By supporting this cause, we can together help shape a better future for these children. #MagicRide2024 #FeelTheMagic
