Day 10 of the #50Families50Days Campaign   $1,572 Legacy video for Marine with Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer   Marine MSgt Sam Brody had Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer. His disease had progressed, and his prognosis was poor. He had been removed from a clinical trial due to a new tumor, making this the second trial he had become ineligible for because of disease progression. The opinion was that any new treatment would only slow down the progression, not cure the disease. The doctors were trying to find another trial he could be eligible for, but in the meantime, he was placed back on chemotherapy to hopefully slow the progression. RSM and his wife wanted to create a legacy video for their two children to remember their father. Despite having lost 20 pounds in four weeks, RSM still looked healthy but was concerned he would look far worse once he started chemotherapy. It was a very urgent request, as he wanted to complete the video before his health declined further.   Requested Amount that TD Foundation provided immediate and direct assistance for: $1,572   To hear more amazing stories of impact from the TD Foundation, please follow along on our social media accounts.

I believe that words must always align with actions. It’s not enough to promote initiatives like Breast Cancer Awareness Month without taking meaningful steps to support them. 🎗 As a proud member of a women-led company, this October, we decided we are not just going pink—we’re taking action. We’re partnering with Phenomenally Pink to raise funds for their work. Every purchase helps us contribute to this vital cause! Breast cancer has been the most common cancer affecting women in Hong Kong since 1994, with about 15 women diagnosed every day. These statistics are more than just numbers; they represent lives, families, and communities deeply affected by this disease. Early detection is crucial. I urge everyone to prioritize regular check-ups, whether it’s scheduling a mammogram or encouraging a loved one to do the same. Taking action today can save lives. Let’s make this campaign one of hope, strength, and resilience. While life presents unexpected challenges, we can choose how we respond. It is all in our attitude!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re doing more than wearing pink – we’re making a real difference! 🎗️💖 This month, we’re proud to partner with Pink Fund to help breast cancer patients tackle an often-overlooked challenge: financial toxicity. For every remodel you start with us this month, a portion of the profits will go directly to Pink Fund, offering life-changing financial relief to patients and families who are struggling to make ends meet. 💔 Did you know that nearly half of breast cancer patients face serious financial burdens? Many are forced to make heartbreaking decisions between paying for life-saving treatments or keeping a roof over their heads. This is where YOU come in. With your support, together we can ease the heavy load for those facing not just the battle of breast cancer but also the hidden costs that come with it. 💥 Plus, in October, we’re offering 10% off your remodeling project when you choose Pink Fund as your charity partner for your project! When you choose Aloft Remodeling, you're choosing to be part of the solution, helping families in their time of greatest need. Let’s change lives one remodel at a time. 💪🏽💗 #BreastCancerAwareness #RemodelForACause #AloftRemodeling #PinkFund #FightFinancialToxicity #SupportBreastCancerSurvivors #MakeAnImpact #TogetherWeCan #EyesUpHere #GiveHelp

#Leukaemia is the most common form of #ChildhoodCancer and the second greatest cause of cancer deaths in children. 💔 Those children who do survive, often experience life-long side effects from the highly toxic treatments used to treat the disease. We need better, safer cancer treatments for children. 🔬 Two remarkable teenagers, Tianna and Raya, fought and beat leukaemia, and are now determined to pursue a career in healthcare. They recently took part in work experience with Dr Catherine Carmichael, one of our childhood cancer researchers looking for new and improved treatments. Change for childhood cancer starts here at @Hudson_Research. ❤️🔥 Support our life saving research now. #Donate before 31 December, or read more about our research here: https://bit.ly/3AOTp76

Did you know? Over 1 million Americans have Lynch syndrome, but 95% are unaware! This means they do not know their need to begin screenings at an earlier age and assemble their medical team to ensure they remain previvors. Since launching in 2022, Project Conquer has helped previvors of Lynch syndrome know their genetic mutation to help reduce the their risk of cancer. This #NTXGivingDay2024, both your donation and your advocacy can make a difference! Help us reach those 95% and empower them to conquer cancer before it starts. #NTXShareYourCare by helping to spread awareness of a condition that is still unknown to many, despite how common it is. https://lnkd.in/g98fbG7s

Did you know that the risk for breast cancer dramatically increases for women between their 30's and 40's? For women in their 30's, there is a 1 in 304 chance of developing breast cancer in their 40's; in their next 10 years. This chance drops (worsens) significantly to 1 in 50 for those women in their 40's as they move into their 50's over their next 10 years. Today (23 May) is the official Pink Ribbon Breakfast day where there are events held all around New Zealand providing the opportunity to get together and raise vital funds for breast cancer education, research and patient support. The mental impact of a breast cancer diagnosis is extremely hard to quantify and this challenge isn't just for the person diagnosed. It can be for their those close to them. While dealing with the mental side of this diagnosis is something I may not be able to assist with directly, I can help to provide solutions to assist with the financial impact. This could be through a lump sum trauma payment following diagnosis, a monthly amount from income protection to supplement your income while you are off work or even treatments through private medical insurance. My ask of you today? 1. Donate to this great event and cause if you can spare a few dollars - https://lnkd.in/gps2yrhM 2. Make sure that you and those around you have sort advice from me on how you can protect the negative financial impact this could have if you or loved ones received a diagnosis like this. #PinkRibbonBreakfastNZ #resure #insurance #kiwisaver #aboveandbeyondadvice
