Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research’s Post

Today is World Cancer Day! This year’s campaign remains the same - “Close the Care Gap”. The goal is to understand and recognize the inequities in cancer care around the globe. Hear from one of our Board of Trustees at Summit Health Cares, Katherine Liu, as she explains from personal experience the importance of quality cancer care and the impact that it can make for cancer patients and their families. How are you closing the gap in cancer care? An easy way to take action is by donating or creating a fundraiser in support of the services we provide as we unite today and the rest of the month. Remember, every single one of us has the ability to make a difference, large or small, and together we can make real progress reducing the global impact of cancer. #WorldCancerDay #ClosetheGap #cancercare

I don't know anybody who didn't have to deal with a cancer diagnosis - either their own, or one given to their friends, colleagues, loved ones. One in eight women in the UK will receive a diagnosis of breast cancer during their lifetime. One in eight men will receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer. These are the most common types, but there are many, many more - melanomas, childhood leukemias, sarcomas, glioblastomas, lymphomas, gallbladder cancers, hepatoblastomas, - this list goes on. Thanks to lab research and advances in medical science, millions of patients with many different types of cancer have much better chances of survival today than they had 10, 20, 30 years ago. As a scientist, a medical writer, a former academic researcher and a person who lost someone, I cannot underline enough how passionately I feel about supporting cancer research. This year, after a long break, I will again take part in Swimathon, a fundraising event in support of two amazing charities, Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie. Marie Curie's research priorities include better quality palliative care and supporting people who encounter death and bereavement. CR UK funds thousands of research projects that cover the full range of topics, from the basics of cancer biology to prevention, early detection and drug discovery. We need the collective power of this research to advance our understanding of why cancer happens, why it spreads and how we can stop it. Research matters. We don't have all the answers yet, but we will keep looking for them and keep hoping. On 27 April 2024 I will swim 1.5 km for CR UK and Marie Curie. If you would like to support me, please visit my fundraising page below. #cancerresearch #cancerresearchuk #mariecurie https://lnkd.in/e89k-bNg

Getting to and from treatment can be a constant struggle, but you can help give the gift of a free ride and provide invaluable relief. $200 can help provide hope through 3 free nights of lodging. You could be why cancer patients and their caregivers have a free place to stay when treatment is far from home. #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerawarenessmonth #americancancersociety #menwearpink
