Kyle Roderick, MBA’s Post

When I accepted my job at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I had no connections to blood cancer. I knew my empathy and admiration for the mission of the company would help me be successful in the position. 48 hours after saying yes, I received the news that a family friend's (one that has been around since before I was born) son was diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at only three years old. Suddenly the mission of my company became my personal mission. Cleveland Light the Night is happening on October 6th and I am personally fundraising for it. Any donations to the cause can make a lifetime impact on individuals like Louie (who after a month of chemo is doing great). Here are a few AMAZING things that LLS can do with funds raised: -$300 could help fund one week of LLS-sponsored group support for families dealing with blood cancer treatment. -$500 could help defray the costs of treatment-related travel for a patient. -$1,000 could help fund general lab supplies for five weeks to help LLS-funded researchers conduct laboratory work needed to develop blood cancer treatments. -$7,500 could help fund the work of an LLS-funded research fellow for six weeks. -$10,000 can allow donor direct funding of one of nine disease-specific research portfolios. If you would like to donate or attend the event please visit my fundraising page: https://lnkd.in/eCDDATw7 For those equally passionate about bringing light to the darkness of cancer, I would love to discuss how you can be a part of next year's Light the Night!

https://lnkd.in/g-U4cgaT As many of you know, I have had a lot of titles in life: Director, Manager, Category manager. However, none of them are more important than the titles of Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. One of the titles I also hold is Chair for the West Michigan Light the Night Walk. This cause has been near and dear to my heart for years now, as my little brother fought and lost his battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, August 21st of last year. I encourage anyone who is near to sign up to attend the walk and show your support: https://lnkd.in/g_SwYP5C For those you wishing to show support in other ways I encourage you to reach out. My fundraising page is below, and I have a personal goal of $5,000 dollars. The dollar amount seems so little compared to what this horrible disease actually cost my family, but I will do whatever it takes to ensure no family has to go through what we have, and I know LLS is just the organization that can do it. Many of you on my feed are influential in your organizations, and I encourage you to reach out to Madison Morell and find out how you and your organization can get involved. Corporate walk and fundraising teams are incredible ways to help your organizations create a positive lasting impacts on your communities, and with more than 1 out of every 2 people being touched by a cancer diagnosis, you are impacting your teams as well. Help me reach my personal goal but think bigger and bolder: help US cure cancer. #leadership #cancer #LLS #philanthropy #grief #worklifebalance

In just a few short weeks I’ve raised $2,300 for LLS with a goal to raise $10,000 before Light The Night on October 26th. While this might seem like just a small piece of the $1.7 billion LLS has invested in cancer research, my goal has the potential to provide an impact in multiple ways. What we raise in the next few days can make a year-long impact for blood cancer patients struggling with the cost of cancer. I’d ask that you consider making a donation to support my efforts to raise funds for LLS a donation. Here is how your donation has the potential to make a difference: $500 helps fund one week of LLS-sponsored group support for families dealing with blood cancer treatment. $1000 provides financial assistance for non-medical expenses, including rent or mortgage, utilities, dependent care, food, and car repairs, related to treatment to a pediatric or young adult patient through our Urgent Need Program. $2,500 helps fund the cost of nurses providing patients and parents/caregivers with clinical trial search navigation and support through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Clinical Trial Support Center. If you are available, please join me on October 26th for the Light the Night Walk! I would greatly appreciate your support as we lead into the final few weeks before we Light The Night on Saturday, October 26th! You can make a tax-deductible contribution through my link, https://lnkd.in/gVejDsWb.

Hi Everyone please help ❤️😊 Any support is appreciated from the bottom of my heart. 1. Gimme 5 minutes of your time: Go to my personal TNT website https://lnkd.in/e9G58yNQ , and read about what I'm doing. 2. Gimme 5 bucks: Just donate online--five dollars for a great cause, and if you want to donate more, fantastic! 3. Gimme 5 friends: Pass the word to five friends and help spread the word! *Every 3 minutes someone new is diagnosed with a blood cancer - money for research is desperately needed - so PLEASE donate now. $5 can get you a latte at Starbucks or a beer at your local bar, but to see how $5 makes an impact on cancer patients, check out how every dollar really does count: If 2 people gimme 5.... $10 provides two hours of microscope use to determine if a new medicine will stop a life-threatening lung infection in a bone marrow transplant patient. 4 people.... $20 pays for a bottle of nutrients that will nourish 10 million leukemia cells grown in the laboratory for a week, enabling scientists to test whether a new anti-cancer drug halts their growth. 20 people.... $100 pays for the cost of an antibody used to determine the precise characteristics of lymphoma cells, allowing doctors to determine the best treatment for a patient. 100 people.... $500 purchases 10 hours of time on a flow cytometer, a machine that reveals a multitude of characteristics of blood cancer cells that could be developed into effective diagnostic tests. Please help this amazing cause as a almost 7 year survivor. I have been blessed at a second chance of life. I can’t wait to participate in this event ❤️

As some of you may know, I am a volunteer at Here to Serve - the only national nonprofit that provides critical services and support to families throughout the pediatric cancer journey. We made some great progress at the end of 2023 and hired a new Care Coordinator who is providing more 1:1 support to these families. But there’s still a long way to go to close the care gap: ✴ Over 15,000 children/year are diagnosed with cancer ✴ The average cancer journey is ~18 months (at least 65% of that time is spent at home with no support) ✴ Only .001% of funding goes directly toward supporting families vs. hospitals and research ✴ It takes ~$1.3 Billion and 10-15 years to produce a successful cancer treatment ✴ It only takes $6,000 annually to support one family’s cancer journey at Here to Serve I’m hoping you’ll join me in supporting this incredible cause and make a difference 1 month at a time throughout the year with a recurring donation. Here's the breakdown to contextualize ongoing support: ✳ $25/month (~1 Starbucks/week = set-up of one new family’s personalized care community) ✳ $50/month (~1 Uber Eats order) = more than 1 month of a family’s care ✳ $75/month = almost 2 months of a family’s care ✳ $100/month = almost 2.5 months of care for a family ✳ $125/month (less than a nice dinner out) = 3 months of a family’s care ✳ $200/month = almost 5 months of a family’s care ✳ $250/month = 6 months of a family’s care ✳ $500/month = a full year of a family’s care To make a recurring or a one-time donation, head to: https://lnkd.in/gNui8Gby

🌟 Movember : Raising Awareness and Fighting Cancer Together 🌟 November is here, and that means it’s Movember time! This month, we focus on raising awareness about men’s health issues, including prostate and testicular cancer. Let’s take a moment to understand the financial impact of cancer in Europe and how we can make a difference. 💰 Financial Impact of Cancer in Europe: Total Expenditure: Cancer costs Europe around €199 billion annually, with €103 billion spent on care and €32 billion on cancer drugs. Economic Burden: The overall economic impact exceeds €100 billion each year due to productivity losses and unemployment. 💪 Check out Neil Wise’s Mo Space for more details and to support the cause: https://lnkd.in/eaf3NUXN. Together, we can make a significant impact on men’s health and fight cancer more effectively. Join us in supporting Movember! Grow a moustache, donate, or simply spread the word. Every action counts in the fight against cancer. 💙 #Movember #MensHealth #CancerAwareness
