We're finally able to share this project with you all. For the last 2 years we've worked with Karen Hamlen, Ben Hood and an incredible group of teenagers and young adults (TYAs) to create TYAR.org. An age-appropriate resource which helps to inform TYAs about Clinical Trials, Biobanking and Genomics. The entire project was produced by HT; Logo, graphics, branding, videos, animations, photographs and website. We've had the chance to meet some amazing and inspiring TYAs throughout the project. At each stage they we're consulted to see what they'd like the resource to look like and what information it should contain. Take a look and let us know what you think! #creatingyourvision #video #animation #photography #webdesign

Watch my full TEDx talk on YouTube titled, "Seeing Life from a Different Lens" where I talk about the three steps I took to overcome the emotional trauma of surviving a rare childhood eye cancer called retinoblastoma and how you too can see the world through a different lens with love, empathy and compassion. My Call to Action for you: Before you donate money to childhood cancer, donate your time with other survivors. I have witnessed first hand what happens when we let connections unite us and what happens when we let our differences divide us. The former is the world I want to live in. https://lnkd.in/gAhXCgdf TED Conferences TEDX #TEDTalks

Breast cancer awareness hits home for me in a profound way. As a 25-year-old, I watched my mother’s life be taken by breast cancer in just three short months. It was a devastating reminder of how aggressive this disease can be if not detected early. Breast cancer is highly survivable when caught in time, and that's why awareness, early detection, and regular screenings are so important. 💗 I stand with the incredible survivors, advocates, and those still fighting this battle. Let's keep spreading the word and making a difference. Regular Mammograms: Mammograms are the most effective screening tool for early detection. Women aged 40 and above, or those with higher risk factors, should follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for regular screenings. Self-Exams: Performing monthly breast self-exams allows you to become familiar with your body. This helps you notice any unusual changes, like lumps, swelling, or shifts in size or shape, that should be reported to a doctor. Above all, advocating for yourself is crucial. If something feels off, trust your instincts and push for further evaluation. Early detection saves lives! 💗 #BreastCancerAwareness #SelfAdvocacy #EarlyDetection #HealthTips #MoreThanPink #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #InHonorOfMyMom #SusanGKomen

While #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth is coming to an end, the need for support remains year-round. Every day, kids are diagnosed with #cancer, and they need more than just awareness—they need action. It’s never too late to make an impact. Consider how you and your #company can get involved: 1️⃣ Donate: Your contribution can fund lifesaving #research. 2️⃣ Organize a year-end fundraiser: Start now, and help finish the year strong by raising vital funds for childhood cancer research. 3️⃣ Spread the word: Reshare this post so others can join the fight. Together, we can create a ripple that exceeds far beyond September and creates a wave of progress for kids with cancer.
