Our Implementation Manager, Solomon Fazel, will be participating in the Race for Life 10K run for Cancer Research on Sunday 28th July 2024. The Race for Life reminds us that "No matter how cancer affects us, life is worth Racing for." Organised by Cancer Research UK (CRUK), this series of fundraising events brings people together to walk, jog, or run, raising money for research and honouring those affected by cancer. At DKK Partners, one of our core brand values is to Embrace Change, seeking improvement, adapting to challenges, and supporting impactful initiatives. Solomon demonstrates this by participating in the Race for Life, combining personal growth with supporting cancer research. He shared, “I am currently in the process of bettering myself and trying to become as fit as possible. Benefiting a good cause while also bettering myself is a perfect way to do so. As someone who has had family members diagnosed and die from cancer, I am honored to participate in an event that supports the research needed to eventually find the cure for cancer.” Click here to donate: https://lnkd.in/eehfxxYh #Raceforlife #Raceforlife2024 #Raceforlife10K #CancerResearch #embracechange #dkkpartners #fx #finance #fintech #emergingmarkets #foreignexchange #exchangerates

Financial Services Industry Unites Against Cancer 🌟 At Expect Miracles Foundation [EMF], we’re inspired by the collective power of the financial services industry in the fight against cancer. Especially during EMF’s 2024 Distance Challenge, which raised $1M in May. We're thrilled to share an article from Citywire Pro Buyer (Read here 👉 https://bit.ly/emfcitywire) that highlights the incredible impact of four industry leaders who stood out during this event. Thank you to Jeff Duckworth, Christine Chigounis, CRPC, Kevin Johnson, CFA, and Margaret Flynn-Martin, MBA for sharing a glimpse of your experiences! The financial community's dedication to EMF’s mission of funding groundbreaking research and providing essential financial assistance is nothing short of remarkable. The Citywire USA article illustrates that when individuals and companies foster a shared purpose for a common cause, the impact makes a big difference. #iExpectMiracles #EMF #cancerisntfree #howfarwillyougo #gothedistance

Cancer in children and young people is: 🐞Often faster growing and acts in a different way 🐞Treated differently to adults 🐞Not usually caused by lifestyle factors Additionally, children's treatments can lead to long-term health problems. This is why we work tirelessly to raise funds, so that we can continue to award research grants for projects that will investigate kinder treatments for children with rare types of cancer. Because the children of today all deserve a tomorrow.

WHY WE RUN IN OUR UNDIES and how it's making a difference. We run in our undies because those affected by NF can’t cover up their tumors. They can’t put on clothes to feel more comfortable, so why should we? Since 2010, we have brought together over 108,600 undie runners to build a community of supporters that just won’t quit. Our community has raised over $21,700,000 since the inception of Cupid’s Undie Run, with 100% of net proceeds funding NF research, through our partner the Children’s Tumor Foundation. And we are seeing real results, including a ground-breaking clinical trial where 70% of participants experienced 20-50% tumor reduction! But we aren’t even close to being done, and we won’t stop until we #EndNF.

Thanks to you, we have invested almost £7 million into 87 research projects. Research is crucial to improving the lives of people affected by sarcoma. With the support of people like you, we fund world-class research to better understand sarcoma, enhance treatments, and ultimately make a significant difference in the lives of people affected by sarcoma. Our research programme is shaped by the perspectives of those affected by sarcoma, and because of this, we know that improving diagnosis is a huge priority. Thanks to that funded research, breakthroughs have been made.

Sunday was #WorldCancerDay, a day representing the impact on people globally who suffer the consequences from cancer, either directly or through those they love. More people than ever are now surviving cancer due to critical research, but this research can’t continue without our help.   After the success of 2022, I have signed on to undertake the continuous 100km solo again – this time for Cancer Research on June 8th-9th 2024. This is part of the #UltraChallenge2024 which are a recognised series of immense challenges to support charities across the country. The challenge will involve covering a distance of 100km (62 miles) over 2.5km elevation (or ~2.3 Snowdon’s) and will take somewhere between 24-30 hours, continuing the journey through the night.   Those of you who spoke or saw me after last time I did this know it was no easy feat, it took me 31 hours, along with plenty of tears and losing part of a toe! The aim this time is to be quicker, and hopefully keep more toes…   I know times are hard but any amount you can spare no matter how small or big, will be unreservedly appreciated. Alternatively, any support/advice you can offer would also be appreciated, along with any playlist and/or podcast recommendations for the journey. And a massive thankyou to those supporting from Mott MacDonald, as colleagues and friends.   If anyone you know would be interested in the challenge or donation, please feel free to forward this on.   JustGiving Link: https://lnkd.in/dTKAYvwi  All donations are considered voluntary and appreciated.
