Survivor's Cancer Action Network - SCAN’s Post

Congratulations Barbara on completing your epic walk to raise awareness and funds for YOUNG TONGUES . You are a great ambassador for the charity and also in all your work raising awareness about Mouth Cancers. in 2022, the Mouth Cncer Foundation. UK published the following stats. It makes sobering reading. Latest figures show that 8,864 people in the UK were diagnosed with mouth cancer last year. The number of people in the UK getting mouth cancer has more than doubled (103%) in the last 20 years. The number of people in the UK getting mouth cancer has increased by more than a third (34%) in the last 10 years. More than two-in-three (68%) mouth cancers in the UK are diagnosed in men. Nearly two-in-three (64%) mouth cancers in the UK are diagnosed in the over 60s. Latest figures show that 3,034 people in the UK lost their life to mouth cancer last year. The number of people losing their life to mouth cancer in the UK has increased by 46% in the last 10 years. In fact the incidence of Tongue cancer in women under 45yrs is also on the increase and scientists do yet fully understand why. Sharing this post or supporting Young Tongues might save someone's life. Will you help?

I worked for almost 10 years for the Golf department at a private country club which were some of the best 10 years of my life from 2006-2016. The relationships I formed and the life lessons I’ve learned, have shaped me to who I am today and I’m forever grateful for those experiences. I mentioned this because I’d love to be playing in this tournament tomorrow, but I’m not but I’m hopeful for next year. As a #RareCancer survivor myself, I credit my cure to the therapy that actually eradicated my terminal #Cancer from a single one time #AutologousCellTherapy using my own #TIL or #TumorInfiltratingLymphoyctes. These type of novel #AdvancedCellTherapies which use a patient’s own specific cells to fight back the ones that go rogue and mutate, not only saved my life, but is also the same concept that is changing the future of #RareDisease. I do not work in philanthropy or the #CGT industry specifically but I do follow this space very closely. The world of #CellTherapy is so much more than just the cure for #SolidTumors or #HematologicCancers, but also the answer to autoimmune diseases like #RheumatoidArthritis and #Diabetes as well. The data is out there with studies and clinical trials. Over the past 4 1/2 years as I’ve been navigating survivorship and recovery, finding a sense of community has been more of a challenge than I thought it would be. I’ve never been in this position before so I didn’t know what to expect but I am mission focused. Instead of being disease focused, I have concentrated my efforts on treatment and therapy focused spaces which has led me to connect with the Emily Whitehead Foundation. As a needle in a haystack, it’s tough to find other needles and with so few, sometimes they are hard to find. Cheers to everyone playing in tomorrow’s tournament and God bless all the players and sponsors in their support for Teeing Off For T-Cells! ⛳️🏌️♂️ #CellTherapy #EndCancer #Melanoma #MetastaticMelanoma #MalignantMelanoma #MucosalMelanomaSurvivor #TIL #ClinicalTrials #TumorInfiltratingLymphocytes

ONE OF MY TOP 3 -Best Business 2024 A construction company who withholds the challenges of supply chain issues, rising costs to build and continually shows up as a contributor to the wider community in a meaningful way. Why is it that builders are going under yet the Better Living Group can withhold those external forces and still find $100k to donate to Children's Cancer Charity and support Housing All Australians to house those in need? Put simply they care. They put people before profit. They stand for something greater than the bottom line which elevates them above industry standard. This is life-centric business strategy in action that I have been talking about for sometime. The Better Living Group are a glowing standard of operating according to their company values. Values that resonate in a meaningful way with the community, that gets them more business not because of what they do but because of WHO THEY ARE. You could not buy publicity like this for your company. It is not what they are seeking yet it is what they getting for being a beacon of hope in an industry that is falling apart at the seams. This is what draws the market closer to you when you make the decision to do what is right over what is self serving. It opens the door to opportunities, partnerships, collaborations that bring in more business -not through Ai tools, sponsored ads or writing meaningless content but by SHOWING their generosity of spirit, their craftsmanship in ways their competitors would only dream of. It's about being involved in the lives of your market in WAYS THAT MATTER. You don't see them post on construction finished or standing with an award as that is not relevant in today's market. That sort of thinking puts you in a sea of sameness. Congratulations Silvio Mazzei to the continuing work you do for us all here in Melbourne we appreciate you. A lot of other businesses could take a leaf out of your book. Take note Qantas, Coles, Woolworths. #businessstrategy #businesssuccess #construction

162,000 people per year are diagnosed with some form of cancer. That’s why this July I will be running 162km in the hope to raise money for various cancer charities. I have started to strategise: How many Km’s per day do I want to run? How many days a week & what rest days do I take? What if I get injured throughout? The reality is, these 162,000 people didn’t get a choice or much of a strategy. The plan is to just run……… If you want to support, please see link below. https://lnkd.in/g3hWjGVx
