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

Our #NF2 kids deserve a better future. For all the Oscars, Elliots and Victors out there - we owe it to them. For their mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. With NF2-SWN they are each facing daily challenges with reduced nerve functions, deafness & blindness, battling endless hospital appointments, & MRI scans, seizures and living with chronic pain. Give the gift of hope to them - there are better treatments on the horizon, but we need the funds to accelerate the research quicker, Time is not on our side. Research is the key to finding a cure for NF2. Without it, patients have limited options—most face invasive surgeries and treatments that only manage symptoms, not the underlying cause. We’re committed to funding innovative research, like Dr. Jianbing Zhou’s Antibody Project at Yale, which offers promising new treatment possibilities. With continued support, this project could lead to breakthroughs that change lives. Help us bring hope to NF2 patients and families by supporting research that can lead to a cure.

🎉 To celebrate StacheStrong turning 6 (yesterday), we launched a BRAND NEW WEBSITE to showcase all we’ve accomplished and been through. Check it out at StacheStrong.org and read below for more on reaching 6 years. 🤯 I still remember submitting the documents to incorporate a 501(c)3 with GJ in 2018 with no clue what we were doing. All that mattered was that we were going to flip the script on this disease and help others in any way we could – together. 📈In 6 years since that point, we’ve funded over $4,000,000 of brain cancer research, including 40+ grants at 25+ institutions across the country. 💻 We’ve provided a platform for thousands as we’ve continued to inspire and provide hope. We’ve even helped patients/families navigate this disease, both medically and emotionally. 👨🏻🦱 It all started with my brother keeping the mood light by going into brain surgery with a fresh mustache. Something so simple is changing lives EVERY day. That’s who GJ was – and continues to be – through StacheStrong. 💪🏻 Reaching 6 years as an org is 3x longer than GJ lived with GBM, which almost seems impossible. We’ve been running full speed ahead since starting StacheStrong and have far exceeded anyone’s wildest expectations along the way. Throughout it all, I’m most proud of the fact that we’ve stayed true to our roots of raising funds and awareness for brain cancer research. That’s what GJ did – and continues to do – through StacheStrong. 👨👩👧👦 95%+ of those diagnosed with this disease will never get to live as long after being diagnosed with GBM as StacheStrong has been incorporated. That. Has. To Change. The grants, advocacy, events, and support are the lifeblood of what StacheStrong is, but to me, there’s nothing more important than the community we’ve created. We’ve met countless people/families facing the same diagnosis that we once walked through, and their stories have become forever intertwined with StacheStrong. In fact, this has now become THEIR story, just as much as it is ours. That’s what GJ built – and continues to build – through StacheStrong. 🧍🏼♂️🧍🏻♂️One day, I hope a set of brothers have an answer and a viable treatment through the collaborative efforts of all those fighting for change. That’s what GJ fought for – and continues to fight for – through StacheStrong.
