🌟 Gratitude Post 🌟 A heartfelt thank you to Schuyler Bull, CFMP, and the incredible Pioneer team for their unwavering dedication to fundraising efforts for cystic fibrosis (CF). Their commitment to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is not just a gesture; it's a lifeline for families like mine. I am immensely grateful for their efforts as a parent whose son, through newborn screenings, was identified to have a mild form of CF. Thankfully, he shows no symptoms and has an optimistic prognosis of a normal lifespan. However, I'm acutely aware that not all families share our fortune. Thousands are grappling with the harsh realities of this disease daily. The funds raised by Schuyler, the CFMP team, and Pioneer are not mere donations; they represent hope. They fuel vital research endeavors aimed at developing groundbreaking drug therapies and genetic treatments that alleviate the debilitating effects of CF and, ultimately, work toward a cure. The progress in CF treatment over the past few years is nothing short of remarkable, and such advancements become possible through initiatives like these. Thank you, Schuyler Bull, CFMP, and the entire Pioneer team, for your unwavering dedication to the CF cause. Your efforts are changing lives and shaping a brighter future for countless families. Let's continue to push boundaries and strive for a world where CF is no longer a barrier to a fulfilling life. #CF #CysticFibrosis #CFAwareness #Gratitude #ResearchForACure 🌈💙

Burns Scalo Real Estate needs your help to give the gift of life! We are hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, May 1st, at the Bentley (965 Greentree Road, Suite 210, Pittsburgh, PA 15220) from 10 am to 3 pm to help address the dire blood shortage. The Red Cross supplies ~40% of all blood and has reported that they are at a 20-year supply low. While some people are ineligible to donate, please consider the benefits for those who can: 1. Your gift can provide life-saving blood to someone who needs medical attention. 2. According to a recent article, regularly donating blood may improve heart health. That’s because donating reduces the thickness of your blood, allowing it to flow more easily through your body and reach your heart faster. Another study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who donated blood had an 88% lower risk of suffering a heart attack. 3. A study by the University of San Diego found that donating one pint of blood “burns” between 600 and 650 calories. How? Calories are burned when the body expends energy to replace the removed red blood cells. 4. You get a mini-physical. The screening involves checking your blood pressure, pulse, and hemoglobin levels. Your blood will be tested for sickle cell trait and other infectious diseases, and you will receive a private letter with the results. You will also be given your blood type. 🅰 🆎 🅱 🅾 Please click this link to reserve your spot in our blood drive and pass it along to friends, colleagues, vendors, clients, etc:   https://lnkd.in/g6W6yxGJ. We need 31 donors to make this a success!

Personal post - Today is wear yellow for Cystic Fibrosis, this is to help raise awareness, donations and to show familys living with CF that they have support. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting more than 10,900 people in the UK. You are born with CF and cannot catch it later in life, but one in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing. People with CF have problems in the glands that produce sweat and mucus. CF causes thick mucus that clogs certain organs such as the lungs, pancreas, and intestines. This may cause malnutrition, poor growth, frequent respiratory infections, breathing problems, and chronic lung disease. By continuing to raise awareness we are already helping people with this condition. Vital donations fund research to create drugs which dramatically improves the quality of life, for people with Cystic Fibrosis. The end goal which I know we can achieve, is a cure. Until then we will keep fundraising and keep raising awareness #raiseawareness #righttobreath #lifeunlimited #yellow #cysticfirbrosis

On World Thyroid Day we acknowledge the importance of research into this crucial gland in the body.

We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way, and we must change that. Join your CREW friends, family, and co-workers to support Theo- Our Heartbreak Hero! Theo's journey began during his 20-week scan, where he was given a tough diagnosis—Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) a rare congenital heart defect where the left ventricle is severely underdeveloped. Although congenital heart defects affect 1 in 100 babies, only 1 in every 3,841 babies receives a diagnosis of HLHS. Come walk or donate to help the American Heart Association, whose support fuels research, innovation, and a collective hope for families like ours. Your contributions not only help extend the lives of these courageous children but also provide a beacon of hope for their futures. https://lnkd.in/e8hWaAaq
