Not only have they put in the miles on wheels or on feet and raised funds for cancer research, but they show up to work every day with the shared mission of ending cancer for life. Thank you!

🎮🌟 Reflecting on the awesome weekend that just passed! 😎
Hope everyone had a blast and enjoyed some well-deserved downtime. I had an amazing time at a charity event this past weekend, raising money for a cause very close to my heart, Cancer Research UK (CRUK)! 💕
As we gear up for the week ahead, let's carry the weekend's energy with us. Coming soon, I have an exciting podcast to host with my amazing panelists!🎙️

We are two weeks into our No Shave November campaign and the amount of money raised so far is outstanding!
In an effort to show how YOUR donations help the department of urology, we asked Dr. Jay Raman of Penn State Health to answer the question "Where does the money go?".
Also, prostate cancer survivor Larry Delaney shares his experience fighting this terrible disease and pledges a financial commitment to the No Shave November campaign.

This is not just a story about the best breakfast - it’s a story about a best friend (who needs help for the worst reason).
Almost every morning I eat toast with banana and peanut butter. It’s been at least ten years and I’m not sick of it (and hope I never will be). If you haven’t tried it, consider this your wake-up call.
And just so you know, I always slice up the banana in rounds and lay them out like this (I promise this will matter later):
[OOOO]
[OOOO]
[OOOO]
One of the perks of a best friend is you can stay with them when you’re in town, and they’ll offer to pick up your favorite breakfast foods and snacks. (Or is it just that my friends and I really care about food??)
That’s exactly what happened a couple of years ago when I was in New York and stayed with Devin Bramhall. I let her know about the banana and toast situation, and of course she made sure to have some on hand.
What happened next absolutely blew me away.
Ever-thoughtful Devin, of course, had toast ready and waiting for me when I woke up. I was so thrilled (I'm a post-hibernation bear cub in the morning) - then I looked at the plate and my jaw dropped.

Devin had made peanut butter toast with bananas in a way I had *never seen before*. She sliced the banana lengthwise (kind of hard to tell from my crummy text art up there) and laid it out in neat rows across the toast. 🤯🤩
She had shown me an entirely new angle on something I saw every day.
I think about this now almost every time I make this breakfast for myself, because it encapsulates so much of what I love about Devin - she is unendingly kind and generous and would do anything for her friends. But she is also the most creative person I have ever met and approaches everything with a totally new perspective. You will always encounter the unexpected with Devin.
Now, Devin is facing the unexpected herself - an incredibly rare form of ovarian cancer. Treatment has made it difficult for her to work and support herself, so it’s our turn to support her.
An amazing lineup of marketers is teaming up to put on a fundraiser for Devin, taking place on Monday. Sign up or donate below, it will go such a long way.

And don't forget to try this breakfast. I swear, it's the best (and so is Devin).

BIG announcement today: the great Ann Handley is joining our speaker lineup!
100% of the proceeds for this event, 15-Minute Frameworks, is to raise funds for our friend Devin Bramhall's battle against cancer. An event like this would normally cost you $1500-2500 per ticket, but for a donation as low as $15, you can join us (or access the recording on-demand) -- and it all goes to supporting one of our very own.
We've already seen 125 people donate and register!
15-Minute Frameworks features all-star marketers sharing ONE of their favorite frameworks each, in 15-minute talks, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A with them.
Yes, this is recorded and shared, so even if you can't attend live, please consider donating and registering. The live event will take place virtually on Monday, Dec 18, 12-4 ET.
Register now: jayacunzo.com/devin
And please share this and spread the word! And stay tuned for another BIG announcement coming later this week!
162,000 people per year are diagnosed with some form of cancer. That’s why this July I will be running 162km in the hope to raise money for various cancer charities.
I have started to strategise:
How many Km’s per day do I want to run?
How many days a week & what rest days do I take?
What if I get injured throughout?
The reality is, these 162,000 people didn’t get a choice or much of a strategy.
The plan is to just run………
