As Breast Cancer Awareness Month is upon us, a cause that holds a very special place in my heart🤍, I’ve decided to take on the October Run for Research challenge. Throughout the month, I’ll be running 31 miles—one for each of the 31 people who tragically lose their lives to breast cancer every day… I know a lot of people out there are doing bigger and better challenges but for those who know me, you’ll understand that running itself is a challenge for me🫣. In fact, I’m a pretty terrible runner! If you’ve ever joined me for a run, or plan to in the future, you’ll probably think twice before doing it again! However, I’m determined to push through for this important cause, especially since it’s my very first fundraising effort. Prevent Breast Cancer is the UK’s only charity dedicated to predicting and preventing breast cancer. With early diagnosis, screening, and lifestyle changes, lives can be saved. By supporting their research, we help fund more mammograms, train future breast cancer specialists, and continue groundbreaking efforts to stop breast cancer in its tracks. I would truly appreciate your support, big or small, it would mean the world to me. Together, we can make a real difference and bring much-needed hope during these challenging times 🩷 Please use the link below to donate ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/evPvz9tP Bring on tomorrow ! 🏃♀️💨 #challenge #motivation #letsdothis

📢 This Thursday morning the Axiom Team will gather for a Pink Ribbon Breakfast. Our goal is to provide awareness amongst our team and raise $1000 to donate towards the fight against Breast Cancer. The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisation funding breast cancer research towards a vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.   Breast Cancer stats in Australia: ◾ Breast Cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and the most common among females. ◾ Everyday 58 people in Australia will be diagnosed with breast cancer, equating to over 21,000 people in Australia being diagnosed each year. ◾ 1 in 7 women and 1 in 550 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. ◾ Around 1,000 women aged under 40 are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, equivalent to about 3 young women each day. ◾ Every year over 3,300 people in Australian (including 33 men) will die from breast cancer. That’s 9 Australians a day dying from the disease. If this cause is close to your heart, help us reach our goal by donating via the link below. 💗 https://lnkd.in/gA3s-cxt

Standing up to breast cancer. Over the past decade, breast cancer rates have risen by 1% a year, with the steepest increase occurring in women younger than 50, according to a new report published by the American Cancer Society (ACS). The study also estimates more than 310,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in 2024 and more than 42,000 people will die from the disease. Meet Dave Freedman, Onsite Women’s Health’s President and Chief Growth Officer. During the months leading up to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dave was named a Men Wear Pink 2024 Ambassador by the American Cancer Society - Central Florida, where he committed to raising critical funds to fight breast cancer. In less than 24 hours, Dave raised more than $6,000 to help create a future free from breast cancer. "I joined the American Cancer Society’s ‘Men Wear Pink’ campaign because I believe it is crucial to support initiatives that align with our company’s mission to fight breast cancer,” says Dave. “By putting our values into action, it allows me to actively contribute to raising awareness and funds for such an important cause. Together, we can save more lives." Find out how you can help Dave and the ACS raise awareness, support research and contribute to a future where breast cancer is no longer a threat to our loved ones: https://bit.ly/3ZRn7m3. #OnsiteWomens #MenWearPink #BreastCancerAwareness #MenWearPinkCentralFlorida #ACS #AmericanCancerSociety

INT Enterprise Supports Breast Cancer Awareness with Pink October Initiative 🎗️ At INT ENTERPRISES, we proudly stand alongside global efforts to raise awareness for breast cancer and support critical research. We understand that for many, discussing breast cancer can be a sensitive topic, but it’s crucial to break the silence and encourage open conversations that could save lives. This Pink October, we came together at Parliament Square to spread awareness, particularly among those who may feel hesitant to engage in public discussions. By fostering openness and understanding, we aim to make breast cancer awareness a universal cause. The "Wear It Pink" initiative, launched by Breast Cancer Now, a leading UK-based breast cancer research and support charity, has grown into a powerful global movement since 2002. It plays a pivotal role in driving awareness and advancing research towards a future free from breast cancer. In solidarity with this cause, Flight Path Travel proudly distributed pink T-shirts to encourage everyone to wear pink and join the fight for a world without breast cancer. 🌸 Let’s continue to spark conversations, raise awareness, and stand strong together. 💪 #WearItPink #BreastCancerAwareness #PinkOctober #INTEnterprise #SupportTheCause #FightCancer

🚴♂️ The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is more than just a bike ride; it's a movement that has transformed cancer research and treatment. Since its inception in 1980, the PMC has raised an astounding $972 million for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. They undoubtedly cross the $1 billion mark this year. Today, the PMC stands as the single largest contributor to Dana-Farber and the The Jimmy Fund, responsible for 62% of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. In 2023 alone, dedicated riders, donors, sponsors, and volunteers united to raise a record-breaking $72 million for Dana-Farber. This incredible effort underscores our collective hope and aspiration to provide doctors and researchers with the resources they need to discover cures for cancer. Remarkably, 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to Dana-Farber. Corporate sponsors make the amazing associated events happen, including the main ride the first weekend of every August. The impact of our contributions is evident. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center was named the #1 pediatric cancer center in the US News & World Report's 2022-23 Best Children's Hospitals report. This recognition highlights Dana-Farber/Boston Children's as one of the top three pediatric cancer centers in the country each year since the ranking's inception, earning more #1 rankings than any other program. Join me in supporting this extraordinary cause and making a tangible difference in the fight against cancer. Together, we can empower researchers to continue their groundbreaking work and bring hope to countless families. 💪 Let's pedal towards a cure! #PMC2024 #CancerResearch #DanaFarber #JimmyFund #RidingForACure
