Spinnaker Trust’s Post

It’s the first of @frocktober_ocrf - a great excuse for me to don this amazing 60s frock, tailored in Hong Kong - and for you to kick start my fundraising efforts. https://lnkd.in/gxybSJP6 This is my fourth year raising awareness and funds for #ovariancancerresearch and there is still so much to do. The current 5year survival rate for ovarian cancer is 49%. We can change that by funding medical research for early detection and treatment.

#7Days2024 is only two weeks away, and our close-knit team of cyclists are preparing to pedal over 1,100 km across Southern Ontario. John Barry, a seven-time participant in the event, explains his commitment to the challenge is fueled by a personal mission to change pancreatic cancer survival rates. “The end goal is to eliminate cancer; that’s the big goal, and I can’t do it, but I can do my part and help raise money."

Tech Day in Pink is here, and for me it's personal as my mom is a breast cancer survivor. At Evanta we have the honor and privilege of working with long-standing Governing Body Co-Chair Michael Smith, Global CIO for The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., and today is officially the 8th year of Tech Day in Pink.  💄 'Inspired by The Estée Lauder Companies' (ELC) Breast Cancer Campaign, which was founded in 1993 by the late Evelyn H. Lauder, who also co-founded the Pink Ribbon, Tech Day of Pink is an initiative dedicated to mobilizing the global tech community to help create a breast cancer-free world; spearheaded by Michael. Its purpose is to unite technologists and IT professionals worldwide around breast cancer awareness, education, and fundraising.' 📣 So how can you give back?

Day 6 Update: Tributes: to one of my early work Mum's, EN, who passed away after a long battle with breast cancer. To my pal F, who told me recently that he has aggressive prostate cancer and has been given a prognosis of 2 - 3 years. To my friend, E, who has successfully fought off prostate cancer. You all inspire me. Cancer Fact: Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the world. But survival rates are improving for many types of cancer, thanks to improvements in cancer screening, treatment and prevention.
