Leukemia Research Foundation’s Post

Be a part of a global movement of generosity this #GivingTuesday 🌏💙 https://lnkd.in/esY2-tUZ Today, we are asking you to help give childhood back to children who are living with critical illnesses like Jasper, who was diagnosed with leukemia. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, life can become hospital visits and pain, but a wish has the power to restore hope and joy. This holiday season, more than 200,000 children across Make-A-Wish International affiliates and territories will be diagnosed with a critical illness, and may be eligible for a wish.* Help us grant wishes to more of those children by donating today, on Giving Tuesday 🌟 *Make-A-Wish International Prevalence and Incidence Research

Giving Tuesday! Don’t let the IRS be your biggest beneficiary. Maximize your tax deductions. Charitable giving is something near and dear to my heart. As a kid, I was often on the receiving end of other people’s generosity. Most years, Santa would have skipped my house if it wasn’t for the generosity of others and our local church. So, paying it forward means a lot to me. Along with giving to my own favorite charities, I love helping others give as well. And there are several strategies you can use - to not only maximize your tax deductions, but also ensure the charity receives the GREATEST benefit from your generosity. A lot of times, if you’re not careful, the government can end up being your biggest, and least favorite beneficiary. Watch this short video for a few “SMART GIVING” strategies you can use. If you are thinking about giving, please reach out. It’s my goal to ensure you, and the charities of your choice, receive the greatest benefit from your donation. Bring awareness to your favorite Charites by tagging them in the comments below.

More than 100,000 people are currently waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. In 2023, more than 42,800 transplants were performed with more than 2,600 being lung transplants. The average lung transplant and follow-up care can cost more than $1.4 million. The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) works with patients of any age facing life-saving transplants as a result of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) to raise funds for transplant-related expenses. Do you know someone with CF who could benefit from COTA’s assistance? #transplant #donatelife #cysticfibrosis #CF #transplantfundraising

A little bit more than a year ago I joined NMDP as a Bilingual Donor Engagement Specialist. My goal is to connect donors that are part of the registry with patients with cancer once they match. I’m incredibly proud to share that 29 people I’ve spoken with have donated bone marrow or stem cells, offering children and adults battling blood cancer a second chance at life. Their selfless actions bring renewed hope to families and highlight the incredible difference we can make when we choose to help others in their most critical moments. Be the Lifeline Someone Needs: Donate to Save Lives Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, and for many, a bone marrow transplant is their only hope. Your generous donation can make that lifesaving connection happen. Here’s how your gift can make a direct impact: $150 helps add one potential donor to the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry, giving patients a fighting chance. $200 provides one month of transportation for a patient to and from their transplant clinic. $500 secures a week of temporary housing for patients and their families during transplant recovery. $2,000 covers a Transplant Recovery Grant, easing financial burdens for families after the procedure. No one should have to face the hardship of cancer alone. Your kindness can bring hope, comfort, and strength to someone’s journey. Help us make saving a life a little easier for patients and their families. Donate today, because every second counts.

Cancer sucks. And rare cancer is sadly & horribly not that rare. While one in three cancer diagnoses in Australia are rare or less common, they contribute to over half of all cancer deaths.   Approximately 52,000 Australians are diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer each year – that’s one person every 10 minutes. Some 25,000 people lose their lives – that’s 69 people each day.    On Saturday, 16 March 2024 I’ll be hiking to the top of Mt Kosciuszko to raise funds & awareness for rare, less common and complex cancers as part of the Rare Cancers Australia annual #KosiChallenge   Every dollar raised will go towards funding:   ➕ Personalised support, information and guidance ➕ Access to treatment, specialists and services ➕ Emergency funding for patients in need   I hope to personally raise $1,000 to contribute to the Rare Cancers Australia goal of $750,000. I would love to have your help to do this!   All donations are 100% tax deductible! Here’s the link. https://lnkd.in/gRK2G9B6

The Eve Appeal is the leading UK national charity funding research and raising awareness into the five gynaecological cancers – womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal. We were set up to prevent gynaecological cancers and save lives by funding ground-breaking research focused on developing effective methods of risk prediction, earlier detection and developing screening for all of the five gynae cancers. We have played a crucial role in providing seed funding, core infrastructure funding and project funding in addition to campaigning to raise awareness. The world-leading research that we fund is ambitious and challenging but our vision is simple: A future where gynaecological cancers are a disease of the past.

The fight against cancer requires a multi-faceted approach. From research to awareness to patient care, every aspect plays a crucial role in our mission to defeat this disease. In Nigeria, access to quality cancer care can sometimes be limited, particularly where facilities are not always available. However, patients still need care and medical personnel need all the help they can get to provide it. We can all do our little bit to make a difference and by supporting our fundraising efforts, you're not only helping to bridge the care gap but you are also ensuring that no one is left behind in the fight against cancer. Every donation, no matter how small, has the power to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families. Your generosity can provide vital resources, support services and hope for a brighter future.
