Zymeworks Inc.’s Post

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

🚨Please help me in raising $200 to send an advocate to Washington D.C. with NCCS!!! 🎗️By raising funds, this campaign will help patient advocates join state representatives and lawmakers on Capitol Hill to disscuss important legislation for cancer patients and survivors. Without people advocating for patients, who will? #patientadvocate #policyadvocate #canceradvocate

Every year Redwood throws an annual charity event, making it a point to prioritize not only giving back, but to spread awareness for different causes and organizations that have touched or affected our coworkers & colleagues. Particularly, my team, Cash Us If You Can, has chosen to support RUNX1 Research Program (RRP), as a member on our team and their family has been impacted by RUNX1-FPD (familial platelet disorder).  What is this you might ask? Medically it is a hereditary hematologic malignancy syndrome associated with a pathogenic variant of the RUNX1 gene.  And you might also ask, what does that mean? It means that this pathogenic variant affects the stem cells that produce blood cells, which results in the following issues and complications: A lower count of platelets and/or platelet dysfunction, bone marrow deficiencies, various skin disorders, excessive bleeding & bruising, and an increased risk of getting cancer & specifically blood-related cancers.  If you are able, please consider making a donation toward my team’s goal. No amount is too small. Also, please feel free to share this post so that we can all advance awareness and provide a healthier & longer future for every person affected.  Additionally, this year our fundraising teams were able to choose individual organizations to donate to versus one organization that was selected company wide. So that means there are many other organizations available to donate to as well on the link below. Please check that out if you have time. Thank you!! ❤️https://lnkd.in/gYR_wSY3

Over the last four years, I've donated my hair twice to support cancer patients. Each time, I’ve been reminded of the power of small actions in making a significant impact. Why I Do It: Restoring Confidence:A wig can truly help someone feel like themselves again during a challenging time. Building Community:It’s about connecting with those who are fighting cancer and showing them they are not alone. If you’re considering donating, I encourage you to take the plunge! Your hair could bring hope and joy to someone in need. Let’s spread awareness and inspire others to join this meaningful cause. Together, we can make a difference—one haircut at a time. #HairDonation #CancerSupport #CommunityImpact #MakeADifference

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?

The Eve Appeal is the leading UK national charity funding research and raising awareness into the five gynaecological cancers – womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal. We were set up to prevent gynaecological cancers and save lives by funding ground-breaking research focused on developing effective methods of risk prediction, earlier detection and developing screening for all of the five gynae cancers. We have played a crucial role in providing seed funding, core infrastructure funding and project funding in addition to campaigning to raise awareness. The world-leading research that we fund is ambitious and challenging but our vision is simple: A future where gynaecological cancers are a disease of the past.
