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

Giving Tuesday started as a global movement to balance the season of consumption with a day dedicated to generosity, community, and impact. It’s an opportunity to focus on what truly matters—connecting with others, supporting causes close to our hearts, and creating ripples of positive change.    But here’s the thing: it’s not just about money. Donations can fuel change, but generosity comes in many forms. It’s about showing up. Giving your time. Sharing your talents. Lifting someone up when they need it most.   This Giving Tuesday, let’s redefine what it means to give. Let’s come together to support those facing cancer—not just with dollars, but with action, care, and heart. Because generosity, in all its forms, is what truly changes lives.   But, if you do want to make a donation to The Ottawa Cancer Foundation, your gift will be doubled for Giving Tuesday: https://lnkd.in/ee_iwV_6 #GivingTuesday #OttawaCancer #CommunityCancerHub #CancerSupport #CancerCare #OttawaEvents #OttawaFundraising #Ottawa

When was the last time you considered what creativity means to you? Maybe you’re a beginner baker, a renowned painter, a living room musician, an engineer, a craft enthusiast, or a writer. We are all creating something every single day, building the world that we want for ourselves and our community through our creativity. For a young adult, cancer derails the world they are building. Cactus Cancer Society’s Art Workshops provide a platform for young adults facing cancer to get inspired and express their creativity through art. But they’re about so much more than that! We all know what it's like to feel alone, but these workshops ease the isolation and anxiety cancer brings by connecting young adults with others who truly understand what they’re going through. Through the programs at Cactus Cancer Society, survivors experience a tangible reduction in anxiety, depression, loneliness, and psychological distress. We can’t do this work alone. Today, on #GivingTuesday, you can support these programs that create a safe space where young adults facing cancer can cope through creative expression and peer connection. You can provide the tools they need to make art, to find a community, and to not be alone in their experience. Will you help us reach our fundraising goal of $2,600 today?

18 days and counting.. This Movember, I’m not just growing a moustache, I’m helping grow awareness for men’s health. Prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health challenges often go unnoticed or unspoken. Movember is about changing that narrative, starting meaningful conversations, and encouraging men to prioritize their health. For me, this is about more than just raising funds, it’s about creating change. Join me in making a difference. Let’s show that small actions can lead to big impacts.

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

Imagine you’re 24 years old, your “healthy” peers are landing new jobs, starting families, getting promoted, and buying houses, but you find a lump and hear the words “you have cancer.” All of a sudden, instead of picturing your life in your new condo, at your new job, with your new family, you’re scheduling chemo visits and wondering how you’ll break the news to your friends and family. Then you discover Cactus Cancer Society – a community of other young adults who are facing cancer and know exactly what you’re going through. 🎨 Let us paint a new picture – in every program, between doodles and DIYs, we share vulnerable stories, belly laughs, and tears with people we met minutes ago. Instead of letting cancer leave us feeling alone, we come together to create a safe, vibrant community that truly understands what we are going through. ✨ Together, we take care of one another. ✨ Together, we affirm how important each and every one of us is. ✨ Together, we make sure that no one goes through cancer alone. This holiday season, Cactus Cancer Society has a goal of raising $7,000. Thanks to two generous donors, all donations made by December 31 will be MATCHED dollar for dollar! We can’t do this work without you. Will you help us reach our goal and make your gift today while your impact is doubled? 📣 Make your donation now at https://lnkd.in/gsEP8QBu 💚 #CancerSupport #Nonprofit #Donate #Charity #GivingBack #GiveBack #Philanthropy #Giving #Fundraiser #Donations #DoGood #Donation #Support #SocialGood #SurvivalIsInsufficient #AYACSM #AYACancer #YACancer #YoungAdultCancer
