The Power of Giving: Why Donating Blood Matters Blood donations are an incredible way to make a profound impact on someone's life & there is a particularly urgent need for donors from Black and Asian backgrounds. Why? Diverse Blood Types: Certain blood types, like Ro, are more prevalent in people of Black heritage and are essential for treating conditions like sickle cell disease. Blood from Asian donors is crucial for patients with Thalassemia. How to Get Started: 1. Register Online @ www.blood.co.uk Make a start today & donate if you're able to! You could save someone's life #DonateBlood #SaveLives

There are just over 24 hours left to donate before the end of the financial year ❤️ Living with a chronic disease like cystic fibrosis (CF) often means frequent hospital stays, which can last at least two weeks and involve intense physiotherapy and strong antibiotics administered through an IV drip. On average, people with CF will have two hospital stays a year, though some may have as many as six. The length of stay depends on the reason for admission—chest infections usually require a minimum of two weeks of intravenous antibiotics, but other admissions may be shorter. For children like Heath diagnosed with CF, this also means parents need to take time off to be there for their children. At Cystic Fibrosis Australia, we are constantly striving and advocating for a better future where people with CF experience a higher quality of life, less time in hospital, and ultimately, finding a cure. Please support our cause by donating this end of the financial year. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible. Donate Here: https://bit.ly/4e3VnPJ 💪 Together, we can make a difference. 💪

#IceBucket10 ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS—it robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. And what’s even worse is that right now, there’s no cure. It’s going to take all of us, working together, to finally see a world without ALS. 2024 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge. On August 6th at 1:30pm, PVS will host the Ice Bucket Challenge to support the cause and aid in finding a cure. Some PVS Leaders will get a bucket of confetti and some will get a bucket of ice cold water. Guess what? You determine who gets drenched with which item. The Top 3 based on donations get ice and the others get confetti. Donations for the Ice Bucket Challenge run until Monday, August 5th. Donate online; head to their personal donation site John Cannon  https://lnkd.in/gEfs6rdS Eric Egan https://lnkd.in/gVaqtFJM David Nicholson https://lnkd.in/gfF2RvaM Matt Nowaczok https://lnkd.in/gNhaSjXr Paul Pepin https://lnkd.in/g5-xiUDw Andrew Stokes https://lnkd.in/gE_dCsbd
