Why Not Just Check? Today, I'm back at Southampton donating platelets—something very close to my heart. Both my aunts, Polly and Liz, were diagnosed with cancer when I was a child. As a child, you feel quite helpless, and not much changes as you get older, except realizing how much more helpless you can feel. But when I discovered I was part of the lucky few who are #GoldBlooded, I was eager to donate as regularly as possible. My blood type is AB+, which means only about 1 in 50 of us have this type. Combine that with the fact that there are only 14,000 platelet donors out of 1.4 million blood donors, and you see the low probability... It all starts with checking! If just one person reads this and checks if they can donate, it will be worth it. A single platelet donation can save the lives of 3 adults or 12 children. I'm fortunate that, due to my size, I can donate a triple each time. If you donate blood, or even if you don’t yet, why not see if you have the golden kind? https://lnkd.in/dJYpkVK A quick shoutout to my wife Laura! —thank you for allowing me the time to do this! 💪💪 NHS Blood and Transplant #Platelets #PlateletDonation #NHS #GoldenBlood #Donate #BeatCancer #MakeYourStoryMatter #WhyNotJustCheck

‼️INTERACTION WITH THIS POST CAN SAVE LIVES‼️ Like all of you who are reading this, my life has been directly impacted by the trials of cancer. I have watched countless individuals in my life go through the battle, including aunts, uncles, grandparents, close friends, classmates, teachers, members of my church congregation, and the list could go on. While some still battle, others are in remission, and others have been lost, I care deeply about limiting the impacts of this treacherous disease. I have decided to participate in the Pan-Mass Challenge, an 85 mile bike ride from Boston to Cape Cod, as a means of raising funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with team L.E.K. Consulting. This is especially meaningful to me, because funds raised for this organization go towards treatment costs, not just towards general research. Your willingness to donate can have a direct impact on the lives of those affected, and I am pushing myself to a new physical limit to show support for those who are pushed to their physical limit without the choice. The ride is on August 2nd, and I have set the goal to raise $5,000. Every dollar counts, and 100% of donations go directly towards treatment costs and research at the Dana-Farbor Cancer Institute. Whether you are willing to donate, like this post, or comment for reach, I appreciate any of those willing to further this effort and support those who battle cancer. Learn more about the ride, why I ride, and how to donate:

The Eve Appeal is the leading UK national charity funding research and raising awareness into the five gynaecological cancers – womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal. We were set up to prevent gynaecological cancers and save lives by funding ground-breaking research focused on developing effective methods of risk prediction, earlier detection and developing screening for all of the five gynae cancers. We have played a crucial role in providing seed funding, core infrastructure funding and project funding in addition to campaigning to raise awareness. The world-leading research that we fund is ambitious and challenging but our vision is simple: A future where gynaecological cancers are a disease of the past.

The fight against cancer requires a multi-faceted approach. From research to awareness to patient care, every aspect plays a crucial role in our mission to defeat this disease. In Nigeria, access to quality cancer care can sometimes be limited, particularly where facilities are not always available. However, patients still need care and medical personnel need all the help they can get to provide it. We can all do our little bit to make a difference and by supporting our fundraising efforts, you're not only helping to bridge the care gap but you are also ensuring that no one is left behind in the fight against cancer. Every donation, no matter how small, has the power to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families. Your generosity can provide vital resources, support services and hope for a brighter future.
