Check out this latest campaign video we’ve been working on. Bone Marrow Cancer Trust | Rānui House temporary accommodation to patients and families who need to travel to Christchurch for life-saving medical treatment. But Rānui House is at capacity, and families are being turned away daily, so they’re soon opening Rānui Apartments which will triple the number of rooms for families in need. To help them raise money towards the opening and running of Rānui Apartments, we’ve worked together to launch the ‘Give Them Time Together’ campaign, which went live last week. We love being able to make a difference in the Ōtautahi community that we work with and live in. Rānui House (and Apartments) is such an important facility for kiwi families going through the toughest of challenges. It was a privilege for us to be asked to help, and we’ve delivered a piece of work that’s raising much needed funds, and that we’re all very proud of. Building awareness is crucial for charity donations, as people tend to donate to causes they recognise. In our campaign for Rānui, we focused on growing name recognition and driving traffic to a dedicated landing page, educating potential donors about the charity’s impact and where their contributions would go. Alongside raising awareness, we prioritised pushing for donations, allocating more budget to this goal. To ensure long-term support, we implemented tracking for both one-time and recurring donors, optimising efforts to secure immediate donations while fostering sustained contributions over time. This approach balances short-term goals and long-term fundraising success. If you’re able to contribute to Rānui Apartments please do, it’s a great cause! https://hubs.li/Q02TmPmF0.

Donation Page: https://lnkd.in/er4azyxg I’ve signed up for Bike MS – a fundraising ride that changes the world for people affected by multiple sclerosis. I’m going the distance with my training and commitment, and I hope I can count on your support as I prepare for this incredible experience. This year I will be riding along with my 14-year old daughter, who is also a keen cyclist. We will be doing the 50-mile ride. I will also be riding with the Bank of America team.   I’ve set an ambitious goal because I know that with support from people like you, I can get there.   MS is a devastating, unpredictable disease. But money raised through Bike MS fuels cutting-edge MS research and critical services to ensure people affected by MS have the resources they need to live their best lives.    About Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis, and there is currently no cure for MS. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to better understanding and moving us closer to a world free of MS. An estimated 1 million people live with MS in the United States. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, and it affects women three times more than men.   Please help me reach my goal of $2500.    Last year as a result of your kind and generous donations I reached my goal.

Cracking roles for the right candidates.

Double your donation dollars! If you could give a dollar, and know that it would make two dollars difference, would it change how you felt about donating? Chelsey Barnes-Shipley, my talented wife has taken up running to raise some funds for STXBP1 Australia, and all our STX families around Australia. The funds will support the research and studies our kids need to access the treatments and trials starting to show promise around the world. STXPB1 occurs when a genetic impact occurs at a particular place on the ninth chromosome. This specific gene controls the production of syntaxin-binding protein one, it's where that catchy name comes from. This protein has an important job, allowing brain activity to bridge those tiny gaps which exist at the end of each neuron. It means everything takes many more attempts to complete. It means whole of brain impacts on things like speech, motor skills and memory. It means kids like Coco need high levels of support their whole life. There are real leaps in understanding and potential for treatment and even cures seem more possible each day. Which brings me to my point. My Chairman, Dr. Andrew Forrest AO has generously agreed to match every donation we raise. This is a massive deal for our little foundation. This has the chance to make just the biggest difference to our kids.

#Alzheimers is an awful disease that I have personally witnessed. How do you react when your loved one doesn’t remember your name or calls you stupid? Select Medical and I have put together a team for this years #WalktoEndAlzheimers. I’m trying to raise money and awareness about #AlzheimersAndDementia for those invested in the fight or have also experienced it first hand. All of the money goes directly to the research of what causes it and how to delay or eradicate the disease all together. Any support helps - sharing this post, joining the team to collect your own donations, or donating any amount. Let me know if you have any questions or are interested in learning more! #WalkToEndAlzheimers #YouAreNotAlone

For young people from regional areas battling cancer, accessing treatment can mean long periods of time spent far from the comforts of home. Through Quest’s partnership with the Sony Foundation’s You Can Stay program, we provide regional and rural youth cancer patients an apartment to stay in with their families or carers – at a charity rate with Sony Foundation funding the stay – for as long as needed while accessing treatment. So far, we’ve been able to do this for 28,000+ nights of accommodation, across 32 Quest properties. ❤️ Watch this video to find out more...
