Such a selfless act well done to both of you.
This is a story of how every one of us - no matter how big or small - has the power to make a positive impact in this world. My 9-y-o child had the idea of helping improve the life of at least one person affected by cancer and started this fundraiser where the money collected are donated to the Irish Cancer Society and at the end of the month both Johanna and I are going to donate our hair to the Rapunzel Foundation. The kindness and generosity have been so overwhelming and Johanna's target has nearly tripled to date. Please feel free share and help raise awareness of the importance of prevention and early diagnostics of cancer and support the priceless work of the Irish Cancer Society. https://lnkd.in/dt_ntUgi

I'm raising money to support the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by participating in the St. Jude Walk/Run 2023. You can help me support the kids of St. Jude by donating today! Every dollar counts! https://lnkd.in/etTmdyZj -St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. -St. Jude is where doctors send their toughest cases because we have the best world’s best survival rates for the most aggressive childhood cancers. -82 cents of EVERY dollar go straight to research/treatment (the other 18% supports fundraising and administrative costs) -Regardless of the duration or the cost of care, families never receive a bill from St. Jude -July 13, 2022 marked the beginning of the largest strategic investment in our 60-year history. The Six-Year St. Jude Strategic Plan commits $12.9 billion to focus on the expansion of patient care and clinical and laboratory-based research related to pediatric catastrophic illnesses, including work in cancer, blood disorders, neurological diseases, and infectious diseases. The plan calls for an additional 2,300 jobs; the expenditure of $2.3 billion in new construction, renovation, and capital needs; and the development of new research areas.

Odds are you have heard of No-Shave November, but do you know the background beyond the viral movement? According to the official No-Shave November (Matthew Hill Foundation, Inc.) page, "No-Shave November has been a tradition for many years, but in 2009, the Chicago-based Hill family decided to reinvent the activity to raise money for charity. This project held special meaning to the eight Hill children after their father, Matthew Hill, passed away from colon cancer in November 2007." The goal of No-Shave November is relatively simple: donate the money you typically spend on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle. With the help of social media, other organizations like Movember have raised millions of dollars for cancer awareness, as well as other men's health issues. Check out some of the foundations that No-Shave November is benefiting this year, and take some time this month to explore other organizations you can support this November. #noshavenovember https://lnkd.in/ddDQcQAV

What does this awesome little guy have to do with lung cancer, you ask? This is one of our two dogs, Mr. Chew, and he LOVES walking at the Flowood Nature Park. I could have done better at self-care the last few years - including physical activity - and I'm working to change that. It's often easier to lace up my shoes if I have external motivators like Mr. Chew. Now, I'm adding another. Between now and October 26, 2004, I aim to raise at least $888 in support of LUNGevity Foundation. Their annual events, Breathe Deep TOGETHER and Breathe Deep ANYWHERE, are platforms for raising crucial funding to support all those living with lung cancer. I have two action items for my LinkedIn colleagues: 1) Please agree to be my "accountability partners" in my commitment to becoming more physically active while raising money to support LUNGevity's vital work, and 2) Please support my fundraiser if you can (link below). I promise to check in occasionally and keep you posted on my mileage, Mr. Chew, and my progress toward my fundraising goal. Mr. Chew says, "Whaddaya waiting for? Let's get walking!" https://lnkd.in/gQY_NgeD

Looks like I'm taking a dip with a bath full of SNAKES! 🐍🐍 The ‘SNAKE BATH Dare’ charity work is approaching! FACT: Three children die of cancer EVERY week... words are not enough to combat this. That's why I'm taking action NOW. I found that 'The Children's Cancer Institute' is the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to curing childhood cancer; everything they do is to ensure that every child with cancer not only survives but goes on to lead a long and healthy life. If you want to make a real change in a child's life, donate to our fundraising hope here: https://lnkd.in/grtPiv4h I'm 100% sure I'm directing my resources in the right place. Thank you, yes you, for making a real difference by donating. #Investorkit #ArjunPaliwal #InvestorkitPodcast #PropertyInvestment #PassiveIncome #Australia #RealEstate #PassiveIncomeFromProperty #AustralianPropertyInvesting #AustralianPropertyMarketUpdate #InterestRateChanges #CashflowPositiveProperties #RealEstateInvestor #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyInvestment #InvestmentProperty #Investment #FinancialFreedom #FinancialIndependence #Wealth #Property #AustraliaProperty #InvestingTips #PropertyPortfolio #WealthCreation
