Gen AI is a product of human ingenuity and technology. It’s an example of how humans have extended their capabilities beyond the biological realm, creating tools that can not only mimic human actions but also assist in achieving tasks that may be too complex or time-consuming for humans alone.

Can you believe it's been 10 years since the Ice Bucket Challenge? As we reflect on this milestone and celebrate ALS Awareness Month, it's incredible to see how far we've come together. Before the Ice Bucket Challenge, the lack of ALS awareness only added to the struggle that individuals and their families face. When the Ice Bucket Challenge happened, people knew what ALS was. It had a ripple effect, increasing care, support, and services.  Communities rallied together, creating a surge in awareness and compassion like never before. Families affected by ALS found their voices amplified, and support poured in from all corners.  Because of the generosity and kindness from this community, we’ve been able to expand access to vital assistance programs and add new services to offer much-needed support and hope to families facing this relentless disease. Before the Ice Bucket Challenge there were often extensive waiting lists for essential equipment like mobility aids and communication devices. With increased funding, we've been able to invest in areas that will have immediate impact, like providing individuals with the equipment they need to maintain their independence.  But our work is far from over. Despite the progress we've achieved over the past decade, there are still many hurdles to overcome. As we strive to see more support for families living with ALS, we invite you to join us in our mission.

Did you know that last year we had over 9000 donors? Donor support is vital and allows us to have the right equipment and care spaces to provide the best care in these life-defining moments.   Read about our Foundation Update in our year in review: https://lnkd.in/d7HDFRre

The beautiful things you will see here on LinkedIn

Have you ever seen a video online that made you tear up, hit like, and desperately want to be part of the cause it championed? This was it for me. This video perfectly demonstrates the power of influencer marketing for good. Influencer marketing isn't new, and many organizations have been leveraging this strategy, but there are still areas that need refining. Imagine watching an influencer talk about a cause they're clearly not passionate about—it would leave you with a weird feeling, right? This is why storytelling is crucial in influencer marketing. The most important factor is ensuring that the influencers involved genuinely care about the cause. Authenticity is key. Influencers should have a history of supporting the cause or at least be vocally passionate about it. When an influencer has a genuine connection to the cause, their content feels more believable and relatable. Take Enioluwa, for example. This isn't his first time getting involved in social good, and watching him bring others on board is seriously inspiring. What he has done is a perfect example of how organizations can combine powerful storytelling with the right influencers to create campaigns that make a real impact on the cause itself. When it comes to social impact, the spotlight should be less on the organization and more on the cause. I’d love to see more organizations pushing real causes through well-told stories and with influencers who truly align with their mission. Have you seen a successful collaboration between brands and influencers for social good? Let's talk about it in the comments! #socialgood #socialimpact #causemarketing #corporatesocialresponsibility (#CSR) #nonprofitmarketing

Today is #ClinicalTrialsDay. In a world where more and more information are, presumably, obtained through all sorts of tech solutions, #machinelearning, #bigdata #AI, there is still a need for "old fashion" trials. I have seen several times before where data driven analysis do actually produce interesting hypotheses, but how can we trust them? Clinical trials quantifies the #scientific procedure that is needed to find out IF there actaually is a real effect or just a coincidence. Good clinical trials also requires good data handling, data manipulation, analysis plans, procedures for analysis and reporting. #statistics #science

In Germany, bags of food are discreetly hung on fences for those in need—a simple, direct act of kindness with no strings attached. This mirrors what we see right here at home with the Blessing Boxes of Sumner County, where local people stock boxes that are open to the public 24/7. These boxes are filled with essentials for anyone who needs them, providing immediate help without the wait or stigma. This grassroots generosity far outshines government intervention, which is often tangled in inefficiency, bureaucracy, and corruption. Unlike government programs that waste time and resources on paperwork and politics, community-led efforts get straight to the heart of the matter: helping those who need it most. When neighbors step up for neighbors, the impact is real and immediate. There’s no distant office dictating how and when to help—just pure, human compassion at work. These Blessing Boxes and food bags are powerful reminders that we don’t need to rely on inefficient systems to make a difference. True change comes from people helping people, with no middleman and no need for recognition, just kindness in action.
