For Canadian families facing childhood cancer, accessing advanced treatments often requires travelling long distances for clinical trials. While these trials may offer promising new therapies, they can come with significant costs associated with transportation, accommodation, meals and other expenses. These pictures were shared by a family who received support from the U-Link Patient & Family Fund, along with the following quote, "Family Fund has been able to help cushion the impact of our daughter’s health situation. Migrating to a new country and facing a daunting health challenge can be tedious on everyone. Thank you U-Link Patient & Family Fund for your timely and kind assistance. Our family is ever grateful." Kindred Foundation, in partnership with Phoebe Rose Rocks, created the U-Link Patient and Family Fund to provide financial assistance to Canadian families who must travel to access clinical trials for their child, adolescent, or young adult with cancer. Each family can receive up to $2,000 annually, to help ensure that travel cost is not a barrier for families and that cancer treatment is within reach for every child. https://lnkd.in/drpuiwM4

In a world where challenges loom large, the power of collective resilience shines brighter than ever. The recent Dolphins Challenge Cancer event is a prime example of this strength, rallying 6,702 individuals to raise an impressive $12 million. This huge effort beat last year's amount and reached the target of $75 million for the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center earlier than expected! It's incredible to witness such a phenomenal success. It is a testament to the unstoppable spirit of the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium leadership and each participant who turned adversity into victory together. Their collective resilience has powered a movement that's met one of the most ambitious donation goals in sports history, showing the world what's possible when we unite for a common cause. "One team. One fight." The resilience, unity, and strength displayed are truly inspiring. Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., put it well when he said, "Thanks to the unwavering support from the South Florida community and our amazing partnership with the Miami Dolphins, we've been able to achieve so much at Sylvester, pushing the boundaries of cancer research." When you focus your efforts on a goal, you're bound to succeed. Well done, Miami Dolphins! This event has made a real impact in the fight to save lives. #Community #Resilience #Teamwork #MiamiDolphins #CancerResearch

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and today's Impact Story is Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels! At the heart of every nonprofit is a mission to change lives, and Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels does just that. This incredible organization supports families and children facing pediatric cancer and other life-threatening illnesses by providing financial relief, emotional and physical comfort, and a sense of dignity in their toughest battles. Their mission goes beyond service - it's about offering hope and comfort when it's needed most. It's a true honor to partner with such a purposeful organization. It got me thinking: as business leaders, how can we ensure our ventures positively impact our communities? How can we, too, be beacons of hope? #NonprofitLeadership #ImpactfulBusiness #AmandaHopeRainbowAngels #CorporateResponsibility #LeadershipForGood #PediatricCancerAwareness

In case you missed it.. ..our latest monthly episode is LIVE on our YouTube channel! Our inspiring guest, Robert Chelsea, the 1st and oldest black man in the world to receive a full face transplant had his face severely disfigured in a car crash accident. A face transplant was set to change his life in a massive way but, it took his medical team years to get the exact match of his skin color for that to happen. It is the reason Cancer Convos with Grace B. is collaborating in raising awareness about organ donation, especially in minority communities, to commemorate National Minority Donor Awareness Month held annually in August. Our recent episode is summarized in this short video, but you need to watch the full episode to listen to the inspiring story of Robert Chelsea, who we cannot cease to be in awe of. Indeed, he is paying his experience forward in an important and impactful way with his Foundation which is raising organ donation awareness. We know that organ donation saves lives, improves health, reduces long-term medical costs, helps medical research, and leaves a lasting positive impact on humanity but how many tick the box when they come across it? 🤔 So, #linkedin family, if you have not given it a thought, next time you see that box, give it a ☑️ I know I will. #cancerconvoswithgraceb #skingraft #organrecipient #organdonationawareness #NationalMinorityDonorAwarenessMonth #changemakers #leaders #burnvictim #facetransplant #healthcare #MedicalCommunity #MedicineMatters #healthpromotion #talkshowhost #womenwholead #MedicalAdvancements #organdonorssavelives
