What do Alex Trebek, Michael Landon, Aretha Franklin, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Steve Jobs, and Patrick Swayze all have in common? They were taken by Pancreatic Cancer. It’s ok to say the word cancer. It’s just a word. We don’t need to whisper it, but we do need to fight it. I hope you never have to experience the pain and anguish associated with cancer nor to be the caregiver of a loved one who is fighting it. If you do, you’ll be grateful that places like Pancreatic Cancer Action Network exist the same as my family needed their services in 2019. I have ~1,000 followers here on LinkedIn (I’m no Taylor Swift, but I’m happy that number for now!). If everyone donates just $5 to this annual nationwide fundraiser, that $5,000 will help fund clinical trials and patient/family education & advocacy. Now imagine if everyone donated $10 or $20. You CAN make a difference. You DO make a difference. Survival rates for Pancreatic Cancer are on the rise and it’s due largely to organizations like this one. Government funding just isn’t where it needs to be, so it’s up to the surviving family members and our friends to help where the government and institutions fall short. If you’re in South Florida and would like to join me for the 5K on April 27, that’s great too!! #cancer #cancerawareness #cancerresearch #cancerprevention #cancersucks #fyp #healthcare #fundraising #pancreaticcancer #makeadifference

I’m proud to share that Icon Cancer Foundation (ICF) has launched its end-of-year appeal to raise critical funds for cancer research. ICF is the not-for-profit charity that raises funds to support Icon Cancer Centre’s network of doctors and healthcare professionals to do vital independent research. Natasha’s story, featured in this campaign, is a testament to how far research has come - advances in treatment have given her 12 years in remission after being diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer at just 28. However, we still have a long way to go. Cancer rates in Australia are expected to rise by over 50% in the next 20 years. Continued investment in research is crucial to ensure we can provide hope, better treatments, and ultimately, more time for patients like Natasha. Please join us in supporting this important cause. https://lnkd.in/dKxXvJMm #cancerresearch #cancerfundraising #iconcancerfoundation

Bowel Cancer Awareness Month - June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a significant event organized by Bowel Cancer Australia to raise awareness about the country's second deadliest cancer. This month also focuses on raising funds for the leading community-funded charity dedicated to addressing the needs of those impacted by bowel cancer and empowering them to live their best lives. Bowel cancer takes the lives of 103 Australians every week (5,350 annually). However, it is one of the most treatable cancers if detected early. https://lnkd.in/d7ZMyrZx #hpgconnect #healthcare #bowelcancerawarenessmonth #bowelcancer
