Welcome to our 'Lungevity' team Summer Scamper page! On June 23, we are participating in Summer Scamper to support children and families at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford! Together, we’ll ensure kids in our community and beyond receive the life-changing care they need.  When you support our Summer Scamper team, your gift:   -Guarantees that every child who comes through our hospital’s doors has access to expert care. We never turn away a child in need due to their family’s financial circumstances.   -Supports groundbreaking research to find better treatments and cures for children facing serious illnesses. Your contribution empowers researchers and clinicians to make discoveries that improve children's health.  -Provides patients with child-centered, compassionate care that allows them to still be kids—even while they're in the hospital.  Every dollar you give will make a difference:  -$30 can provide a coping kit for a child facing a difficult procedure.  -$60 can provide a week of antibiotics for the Teen Health Van.  -$110 can provide a child with a session of pain management services to supplement medication.  -$525 can cover the cost of two comprehensive blood tests. https://lnkd.in/gW2kY53P

Did you know that March is also known as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month? This month is all about raising awareness, educating wider society, fundraising, and getting behind those scientists who seek to advance our understanding of MS. Check out the link below to learn more about how you can support those with MS!

For some children, neurofibromatosis (NF) can impact so many moments of their lives. From the presence of tumours and chronic nerve pain to a never-ending cycle of monitoring, surgeries and specialist appointments, it takes it's toll.   But, it is not just the patient who is affected, parents and siblings are also significantly impacted. Recent research has suggested more than half of caregivers said that the NF diagnosis of one child made it challenging to provide the same level of care to their other children. Additionally, nearly 4 out of 5 caregivers experienced a significant or moderate impact on their mental health.   Everyone facing a complex and uncertain future needs someone to turn to, and our donors make sure this is possible. The Children's Tumour Foundation is the only patient advocacy and support service for children, adults and families impacted by NF in Australia.   Your gift today will make a huge difference to so many families tomorrow.

This week, we mark MND Week which culminates on Global MND Awareness Day on Friday the 21st of June. MND is truly awful - it is terminal, highly disabling, and robs people of the ability to move, speak, and breathe. It's important to understand that MND doesn't just impact the person affected - it also has a significant impact on those around them - including those supporting them. To say that MND affects the MND Queensland team, would be a massive understatement! It's almost been 6 months since I joined Motor Neurone Disease Association of Queensland Inc. and during this time, I have frequently been left in total awe of the work this amazing team does day in/day out for people with MND in Queensland. The team work closely every single day with clients and their loved ones as they face the unimaginable. They form strong relationships and connections with their clients and their family/support network, and they celebrate the highs, and mourn the lows. They feel the losses of their clients deeply and its not uncommon to see our team in tears when taking a call that one of their clients has died. At time of writing, MND Queensland continues to be the ONLY state MND Association in Australia to not receive ongoing funding from its state government. This has significant adverse impacts on the support we can provide - especially to clients over 65 who aren't eligible for NDIS funding. We are currently 100% reliant on community support, grant funding, and donations to do what we do - your support in lobbying for change, and in financial contributions is so important and appreciated by us! (I've included the link below for our tax appeal!) Whilst we wait in hope that the QLD Government will see the value and importance in the work we do, our amazing team will continue to do all we can do, to ease the burden of this awful disease. All I can say is - I am truly lucky to be part of the MND Queensland team, and I know that the Queensland community is in safe, competent, and compassionate hands when they need it most. Until there is a cure, there is care. https://lnkd.in/g8-umhtT #mnd #community #makingadifference #impactfulcare #supportus

When people hear that you work in “research”, it can be hard to understand what that actually involves… especially when you hear there are no labs and white coats?!   This STEPtember, I’d like to share some of the different ways “cerebral palsy” (CP) is being researched around the globe – through the support from Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Grants program. CPA supports researchers who are reimagining the way we support very sick babies with brain injury transition from NICU, to early intervention in the community. We fund projects aimed at improving participation, quality of life, pain and mental health of young people living with CP. We collaborate with researchers working hard in Low-and-Middle-Income-Countries to actively support children living with very high disability support needs. We support programs right here in Aus, designed to better understand and improve respiratory health for children who are at risk of breathing difficulties. How life changing that could be for so, so many families….   If you’re keen to support us, please head to our STEPtember page: https://lnkd.in/g7vg97FP
