On World Thyroid Day we acknowledge the importance of research into this crucial gland in the body. Through your generous donations, Charlies Foundation for Research Discovery Grants have supported Professor John Walsh (SCGH) in research of DNA methylation as a marker of thyroid hormone action in predicting quality of life and treatment response in hypothyroidism. You can support important causes like this here; https://buff.ly/4amJ2mz

I recently came across a powerful story on BBC News about a new diagnostic test that’s helping patients like Phillip Marks, who was able to receive quicker and more precise treatment for lung cancer. The new test detects circulating tumour DNA from a simple blood sample, offering hope to thousands by allowing for faster diagnoses and more targeted therapies. At Amoy Diagnostics, we share in this vision of leveraging advanced diagnostics to improve patient outcomes. Our Pan lung Cancer kit is designed with similar goals in mind—detecting multiple cancer biomarkers to guide personalized treatment decisions. It’s inspiring to see how innovation in cancer testing can transform lives, and we're proud to be contributing to this critical field. Let’s continue to push for faster, more accurate cancer diagnostics worldwide. #CancerDiagnostics #Innovation #Healthcare #PersonalizedMedicine

CCSS Fire & Security Ltd, part of EA-RS Group Ltd,  is thrilled to share the heartwarming success of our 'Charity Snack Box' initiative! 🍫🥤 Today, we proudly donated an incredible £1143.63 directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, all thanks to the purchases made by our employees. 🤝💙 What is Cystic Fibrosis? CF is a genetic condition affecting over 10,900 people in the UK. It's present from birth, with one in 25 individuals carrying the gene unknowingly. CF impacts the movement of salt and water in cells, leading to challenges in the lungs, digestive system, and various organs. Our contribution aims to make a positive impact on those facing this condition. 🤝 Cystic Fibrosis Trust: The Trust plays a crucial role in supporting and facilitating a diverse range of world-class research, aiming to ensure a fulfilling life for every individual with CF in the UK. From biomedical research in labs to extensive clinical trials, the Trust is dedicated to making a difference. 🌐 A big thank you to our amazing CCSS team for their generosity and support. Together, we make a meaningful difference! 👏 #CCSSCommunity #CysticFibrosisTrust #CharityEfforts #Generosity 

Sickle Cell is widespread in the Black Community. And we are getting close to a cure. 1 out of 12 Black Americans have the Sickle Cell trait and can pass it along. 1 out of 365 Black Americans have Sickle Cell Disease. I am so glad that Christopher Beck, CAP® is working to raise money and find a cure for the disease. Gene editing technology is promising and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the work. Research and treatment takes money. My role was to talk about different charitable giving strategies we could employ to fuel the work and how we could amplify the impact and possibly get tax benefits. Win-Win! If you want the key points of my presentation download the guide in the comments. Let’s cure our community.

https://lnkd.in/g-U4cgaT As many of you know, I have had a lot of titles in life: Director, Manager, Category manager. However, none of them are more important than the titles of Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. One of the titles I also hold is Chair for the West Michigan Light the Night Walk. This cause has been near and dear to my heart for years now, as my little brother fought and lost his battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, August 21st of last year. I encourage anyone who is near to sign up to attend the walk and show your support: https://lnkd.in/g_SwYP5C For those you wishing to show support in other ways I encourage you to reach out. My fundraising page is below, and I have a personal goal of $5,000 dollars. The dollar amount seems so little compared to what this horrible disease actually cost my family, but I will do whatever it takes to ensure no family has to go through what we have, and I know LLS is just the organization that can do it. Many of you on my feed are influential in your organizations, and I encourage you to reach out to Madison Morell and find out how you and your organization can get involved. Corporate walk and fundraising teams are incredible ways to help your organizations create a positive lasting impacts on your communities, and with more than 1 out of every 2 people being touched by a cancer diagnosis, you are impacting your teams as well. Help me reach my personal goal but think bigger and bolder: help US cure cancer. #leadership #cancer #LLS #philanthropy #grief #worklifebalance

👀 What an eye-opening experience! 🩺After attending the webinar about Diagnosis Of Rare Diseases, by RD-Portugal with The Ordem dos Farmacêuticos, I had the privilege of meeting Ana Rita Moreira and Luis Miguel Oliveira. Dani's parents, a really cute boy who has, unfortunately, been diagnosed with a rare disease caused by a v-ATPase genetic disorder, which causes developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. A condition that has no known treatment, and is very limiting for children. 👫 As strong-fighter parents who couldn't consent to the lack of knowledge and medical support for their child, they founded the v-ATPase Alliance Association, uniting families affected by v-ATPase genetic disorders, and promoting treatment research and development. 🔬 It is with great honor and enthusiasm that I have become part of this research group, aiding in the search for a treatment discovery! In collaboration with RARE-X, we are starting to build an innovative Data Collection Program 📚 that will allow us to advance research , therapy, and drug development. 💊 🙍♀️ This is a really debilitating condition, where children and their families face enormous daily challenges. If you want to help this mission feel free to share this program or give a kind donation. 🤲🏼 https://lnkd.in/dmjT2QZX 🧬 v-ATPase Alliance: https://lnkd.in/dbDMUvZe
