Fighting Breast Cancer - First week of running challenge The first week is done—I am on my way to the 150-kilometre charity run. (I will donate money to a breast cancer-fighting organization for each kilometre run.) I managed almost 30k, so it was slightly under the planned amount. Running is a pleasurable and really relaxing activity. But suddenly, the obligation shifts my “me-time” towards an obligation. I started preparing and planning and am proud to have accomplished the kilometres this week. After a week of work, I managed my three runs and added several kilometres of walking whenever possible. Every step counts, and I will not stop. But how do you manage? All of you who decided to accept the challenge and move and run to collect money in October - the official breast cancer-fighting month. Did you manage to cover the distance you planned?  What were the difficulties? The challenges? What are your plans for the next week?  Please reach out to me here in commentaries! #breastcancerfight #runningforcharity #personalchallenge

Hi all, I pledge to walk/run an extra 10km for every $100 donating to my page for the remainder of this #Movember fundraising. If you are still deciding on which charitable cause to make your donation before the end of 2024, look no further. Please support my #Movember fundraising. https://lnkd.in/g--DN9eX Two weeks into my #2024Movember campaign, thank you very much to those who donated and supported our cause. Here are some updates from my side in these two weeks. - My Mo is growing, see attached photo - My company's team has raised $6018 on our way to the $9103 target - I raised $587 toward the $1550 target (I NEED YOUR DONATION) - I have walked 71km to date, surpassing my 60km goal - I exercised 3 times per week. In return for your generosity and support and to meet the fundraising goal, I pledge to walk 10km for every $100 donating to my page for the remainder of this fundraising, and I pledge to complete this by December 15, 2024. This means if I reach the fundraising target, I will be walking an additional 120km. I also pledge to exercise 5 times per week for the remainder of this campaign. You can donate to my Movember page below https://lnkd.in/g--DN9eX Or If you have other financial commitments but would still like to help. Share our pages to 10 people around you and ask for donations on our behalf. We are doing our parts, but we will need your help and support! We are raising much-needed funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. 43 men die from prostate cancer every hour. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men. Every minute, a man dies from suicide. Those are some powerful facts. But we don’t have to stay quiet about it. Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends need us to get loud. #movember2024 #movember #movemberfoundation #charity #mentalhealth #research #health #prostatecancer #menshealth #testicularcancer #canada

So here’s how run the month is going so far… this evening tipped me over 10 miles and I am bang on track to achieve my target of 26.2 miles by the end of the month: ✅ 10/01/25 - 3.01km (1.87 miles) - £320 raised ✅ 07/01/25 - 2.69km (1.67 miles) - £320 raised ✅ 06/01/25 - 3.09km (1.92 miles) - £320 raised ✅ 04/01/25 - 2.5km (1.55 miles) - £280 raised ✅ 02/01/25 - 2.5km (1.55 miles) - £250 raised ✅ 01/01/25 - 2.5km (1.55 miles) - £200 raised Thanks to those of you who have already donated, helping to raise £320, but let’s keep going, I’d love to reach £500! Prostate cancer now affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. That's thousands of dads, partners, brothers, grandads, uncles and mates. I'm raising money to help fund lifesaving research and support for men and their families affected by prostate cancer.

NEW CASE STUDY: Updated Donation Forms! Many organizations face the challenge of outdated, unresponsive, or poorly designed donation forms that hinder their fundraising efforts. Montreal Heart Institute saw a remarkable 25.5% increase in average donation size after switching from a single-column to our multi-step donation form. Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego achieved a 56.5% increase in average gift size. An updated design, fully integrated with their new branding, played a crucial role in this improvement, demonstrating the power of a well-designed and branded donation form. Ovarian Cancer Canada saw immediate results, with more than double the number of transactions (a 118% increase). The average gift size increased by 14.5%, and in just over seven months, the new form raised 150% more than the previous form did over nine months. The combination of a beautiful rebrand and our modern, accessible form design was one of the factors to this success. Is it time to take a closer look at your donation forms?
