A single decision can create countless tomorrows.

What is Organ Donation Week? Organ Donation Week is a campaign that takes place every year, raising awareness about the ongoing need for organ donors. More than 7,600 people are in need of an organ transplant, including over 250 children.  Each year around 1,400 people donate, but despite these remarkable people the waiting list continues to rise. Please make your decision known to your loved ones, whether you choose to register as an organ donor, or not. At such a traumatic time for those you leave behind, isn't it kinder that you've taken away the need for them to make such an important decision and let them know?

Hello everyone! I am continuing to raise money for EndoFound as I train for the NYC Marathon, and I would be so grateful for donations of any amount. If I don’t raise my minimum amount, I pay for the rest out of pocket, so anything helps! Bonus if your company offers donation matching ☺️ The Endometriosis Foundation of America is a non-profit organization that strives to increase disease recognition, provide advocacy, facilitate expert surgical training, and fund landmark endometriosis research. Without their efforts, it may have taken me longer to discover the signs and symptoms of endometriosis, which lead to my own diagnosis almost 3 years ago. Endometriosis is very common, with about 1 in 10 women experiencing this disease (200 million women worldwide). It is in the top 20 most painful conditions. There is, on average, a 7-10 year delay in diagnosis, and is one of the leading causes of infertility. Endo is often found in the pelvic cavity but has also been found in the kidneys, lungs, diaphragm, and brain. It can cause a wide range of symptoms and is considered a whole-body disease that can greatly reduce quality of life in those who have it. We need more research and advocacy for endometriosis so we can reduce the amount of time it takes to diagnose and treat it. Please consider donating to be part of this change! Anything helps!

A recent survey found that over half of charities were worried about their survival. The continuing pressures of the cost-of-living crisis means that the challenges facing many charities of higher demand, lower income, inflated costs, have become entrenched and daily we hear reports of charities having no choice but to close their doors. We do not want this future for Penny Brohn UK. Your donation today will make all the difference in ensuring that Penny Brohn UK not only survives these challenging times but emerges stronger, ready to support even more people living with cancer. We cannot do this without you. Double your impact 👉️ https://lnkd.in/ePkRrmXE

Meet Elizabeth, our Board President at the Endo Forward Foundation! 💛 In this video, she shares her excitement about where some of the funds raised during NTX Giving Day will go—and it’s all about pushing forward education and awareness for endometriosis. For Elizabeth, this mission is personal. After spending 14 years searching for answers and being told by over 40 doctors that everything she was going through was “normal,” she finally learned the truth—it wasn’t normal, and she had endometriosis. That’s why she knows firsthand how critical it is to spread education and awareness about this disease. With the funds from NTX Giving Day, we’ll be creating educational resources, raising community awareness, and pushing for better care so that no one has to go through what Elizabeth and so many others have endured. Your support is helping us break the cycle of misdiagnosis and misinformation, and it’s changing lives. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we’re making sure every Endo Warrior has the knowledge and care they need. 💛 Donate Here: https://lnkd.in/gfseREfv #northtexasgivingday2024 #endometriosissurgery #endometriosissupport #patientadvocate #endoforwardfoundation #endosupport #nonprofitlife #EffEndo #endometriosiswarrior #nonprofit #endometriosisawareness #makingadifference #youmatter #chronicillnesswarrior #endostrong #dallas #texasnonprofit #dfwnonprofit #austin #austinnonprofit

What do the numbers 8, 75 and 2 all have in common? It's the amount of people who can be saved and healed through organ, eye and tissue donation! One person can save up to 8 lives by gifting their organs. Up to 75 lives can be enhanced with one person donating tissue. As many as 2 people could have their sight restored with cornea donation. Share the knowledge! #DonateLife
