HOW TO OBSERVE WORLD ALZHEIMER'S MONTH 💜Get involved -- Many Alzheimer's organizations offer toolkits with which you can help spread the word. For example, you can print and distribute material. 💜Make a donation -- There are several ways to contribute to Alzheimer's groups. You can donate monthly, or you can give a one-time gift in the name of someone you love with a so-called "tribute" donation. 💜Volunteer at an Alzheimer's event -- Consider participating in an Alzheimer's "awareness walk." Perhaps you could volunteer to take part in a clinical trial. Find your local Alzheimer's chapter and see what you can do.

It's not just grandma and grampa we need to save on National Donation Day. It's all of us! June 20th, The Longest Day, is the day with the most light and the day we fight! I shine a light on the fight to end Alzheimer’s for my wife, Beth Anderson, who I lost to this terrible disease at the age of 50, and those who are yet to be diagnosed.  Please partner with me on The Longest Day, June 20th; I’ll be running nine miles around Bachman Lake in honor of my wife, the six million Americans currently living with Alzheimer’s, and the eleven million people who provide unpaid care to Alzheimer's patients to raise vital research funds and awareness. I'm asking for your support by donating to my fundraiser at:  https://lnkd.in/dExbwWRk. Last year, we had 100 people donate $50 to reach $5,000. This year, my goal is to get 120 people to contribute $50, for a total of $6,000. Here is our story: https://lnkd.in/gqEkRaPp Alzheimer’s Facts: 1. 55 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s. 2. 1 in 3 seniors dies due to Alzheimer’s or another dementia. 3. 1 in 9 people aged 65 and older has Alzheimer’s. 4. Alzheimer’s kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. 5. Two thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women. 6. Eighty-three percent of the help provided to older adults in the U.S. comes from family members, friends, or other unpaid caregivers. 7. In 2023, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the nation $345 billion, and by 2050 the cost is estimated to be $1 trillion.  #ENDALZ

Every day we receive messages of thanks from those we have supported. Those who had nowhere else to turn. Families who were feeling overwhelmed and worried about their child's diagnosis of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). With the information and resources that we provided them with and with 1:1 support from our volunteers and access to a peer-to-peer support network, they were given the information and strength they needed to carry on. Many of our resources are recognised as being world-leading resources being translated and used all around the globe. Our awareness initiatives are leading the way in making a real difference to improving earlier diagnosis and helping those with JIA feel less alone. Our own research has been published in scientific journals, presented at international conferences and we have worked with countless other research teams on collaborative projects. All of this has been achieved by our amazing volunteer team in the 6 years since Juvenile Arthritis Research began. But... Our small team of volunteers are so busy doing all these vital areas of work that despite the difference we are making, finding the funding to do all that we do remains our biggest challenge. We currently have an urgent need for funding for a new resource that will save lives. Doctors, medical professionals, volunteers, parents and patients have given their time to create this essential new resource. We now urgently need the funds to get it printed and distributed to reach where it is most needed to make a difference. If you can help introduce us to any funding opportunities such as corporate sponsors or wish to make a donation specifically to make this resource a reality, please get in touch by emailing kipo@jarproject.org #JIA #JuvenileArthritis #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JuvenileArthritisResearch #Kipo #Arthritis #ChildhoodArthritis #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #JARProject #JIAWarrior #ArthritisAwareness #charity #CharitableCause #NonProfit #Donate #Support #causes #fundraising #philanthropy #KidsWithArthritis #KidsGetArthritisToo #DontBeAloneWithJIA #InstaCharity #RaiseAwareness #ThinkJIA #AwarenessIsEverything 

The number of young people with tinnitus in the Western world has doubled in recent years. This increase is mainly caused by the use of earbuds and exposure to loud noise at nightclubs, festivals and concerts. Scientific research on tinnitus is still in its early stages. Currently, cognitive behavioral therapy is the best available option for relief and improving quality of life. But there is no cure. This makes dealing with tinnitus very discouraging for patients and caregivers. With your donation, we can fund groundbreaking scientific research to accelerate the search for the cause and cure of tinnitus. Donate now and let’s get tinnitus out of the way! #tinnitus #tinnitusresearch #tinnituscure #tinnitusawareness #ringingears

When you donate to DS research, you’re helping advance scientific knowledge that can also benefit the broader community. For example, Alzheimer’s disease is a medical condition affecting 40-80% of people with DS who live to be in their 50s and 60s. Knowing Alzheimer’s disease progresses faster in those with DS vs. those who don’t have DS, it’s important to understand the genetic component further. By doing so, the hope is to uncover scientific discoveries that one day slow or cure the progression of Alzheimer’s. Imagine what this means not only for those with DS but for millions of others who will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the future. Step up and become our partner for change! With a monthly gift of $21 or more, you’ll help us rewrite the future for people with DS and their families.

We received this wonderful photo of 5 year old Sumayya receiving her Little Box of Hope pack. These free information and support packs are available to families in the UK who have a diagnosis of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). We have two versions of the Little Box of Hope pack - one is designed for those aged under 10 and the other is for those aged 10 and over that we refer to as a 'teen pack'. Receiving this vital information when first diagnosed with JIA has been a lifeline to many families who had nowhere else to turn. Once you've received a Little Box of Hope from us, you'll also be invited to join our peer-to-peer support network and hear about our ParentZoom meetings too. It is thanks to everyone that has donated to support Juvenile Arthritis Research or has fundraised to support our work, that makes it possible for us to be here for those affected by JIA - Thank you! For those in the UK with a diagnosis of JIA, you can request your Little Box of Hope pack at www.jarproject.org/hope We love seeing these fabulous photos of your children receiving their packs - please do keep sending them in. If you've sent your photo in but haven't seen it yet on social media, please keep an eye out over the coming weeks. #JIA #JuvenileArthritis #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JuvenileArthritisResearch #Kipo #Arthritis #ChildhoodArthritis #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #JARProject #JIAWarrior #ArthritisAwareness #charity #CharitableCause #NonProfit #Donate #Support #causes #fundraising #philanthropy #KidsWithArthritis #KidsGetArthritisToo #DontBeAloneWithJIA #InstaCharity #RaiseAwareness #ThinkJIA #AwarenessIsEverything #PaediatricRheumatology

This year, I am participating in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride to raise funds and #Awareness for #MensHealth on behalf of Movember, and I need your help. Movember is the world's most prominent men's health organization focused on universal, game-changing, realistic outcomes for #ProstateCancer and men's #MentalHealth. Prostate Cancer #Statistics 😞 Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.  😞 307,000 men will die from prostate cancer each year. #SuicidePrevention – Men's Mental Health 😞 Suicide is the biggest killer of men aged 20-39, with ¾ of all suicides being male. 😞 510,000 men die from Suicide each year. That's one every minute. This is a number that we seek to change drastically and can only be made possible through raising funds and awareness to help prevent men from dying too young. Please support me on my ride by going to https://lnkd.in/epm6CW3g and making a #Donation to help fund men's health programs, which will help benefit men worldwide. 🙇♂️ Thank you, Edward. #Fundraising #Motorcycle #CharityRide
