Hi again friends and connections and Happy Dry July Eve. Last Tuesday I posted that I was participating in Dry July to raise funds to help people suffering from cancer. I set myself a (apparently too modest) target of $500 (AUD) for the month of July. Well, that target was passed on about 28 June, so I have had to revise my fundraising target – I now think that $1500 is achievable. With almost 2,000 connections between LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, I just need a hit rate of 10% of all of you to donate $5 (you can’t buy a drink for that anywhere), and then I’ll get to the $1,500 with room to spare. If you are donating in Euros, GB Pounds, or US Dollars, I’ll be happy with 3 (euro, GBP, USD). This is also a little bit of an experiment about the social medial algorithms. We know that posts don’t go to all our friends and connections, so improving the reach of this post is really important. A huge thankyou to the people who have already donated and also to those who have commented on and shared posts – you are putting these algorithms to work to help cancer sufferers. One final thing, in preparation for Dry July, I have abstained from alcohol this week, so I have done the hard part – breaking the habit. I’m sleeping better and my clothes are ‘not as firm’. A win/win situation. If you want to get involved just go to this website www.dryjuly.com #cancer #dryjully #healthyhabits

That’s a high deductible to be met but if we all contribute anything, her deductible will be fully covered.
We have a fundraiser we need help with. One of our own made one bad decision and overdosed last year, leaving behind some precious children. Her mother, who is now taking care of them, has recently been diagnosed with cancer. We are gathering funds to help with her deductible of $5,000. Please help, donate, share♥️ Donate here 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/e7CY3vHm

Today is National Donor Day. Today we celebrate the lives of those who were and are donors and the honorable cause they are giving to. Cancer patients and those suffering from other diseases need donations every day. Donors have a tremendous impact on the lives of those in need of donations as well as their families. There are five different types of donations: Tissue, Blood, Marrow, Organs, and Platelets. Take action: consider registering for a matching system to be paired with someone in need of a donation. Talk to your family about organ donation. Consider taking some time out of your day to donate blood. There are many ways to make an impact as a donor and the lives of many will be greatly impacted by one single donation. Make an impact in countless lives today by being a donor! #VieCure #NationalDonorDay

5 Days left and any donation helps! There is still time to purchase tickets! How your donation helps: Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened in 1962. And we won't stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands of children. Join us! Together we can help St. Jude change the world.

I don't ask of others for much. It's just not how I am built. However, there are times when getting the message out to gain as much support as possible is worth the ask. This is one of those times. If you've never heard of Hogs for the Cause, it is a two-day BBQ charity festival in New Orleans, LA, raising money to support families with children battling brain cancer. Pediatric Brain Cancer. Awful, terrible disease. Those afflicted with cancer struggle mightily. Yet, cancer is not isolated to the individual as it greatly affects those closest to the person, in this case, the child. No, this is not a personal story meant to tug at your emotional strings. This is not about me. This post is for children and families struggling with pediatric brain cancer. Our team, Swinel Richie -- yes, the team owner is a Lionel Richie super fan -- is one of nearly 100 teams that compete each year, with each team responsible for raising as much as they can. I ask you to consider donating to support this worthy cause (link below). I know giving can be tough, so if you can't, no worries. Could you help spread the word by reposting this? If you are in the area, consider attending the festival. It is an excellent event with live music, games, drinks, and as much BBQ as you'd ever want to eat. April 4th and 5th at the UNO Lakefront. https://lnkd.in/gJp_VNu9

Many of you will know that, as a business, we support Be More Frank – a charity fund set up in honour of Frank Cleal, who died aged 13 from a rare bone cancer. #BeMoreFrank is a special named fund of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust that provides grants to the family of every child with cancer in Herefordshire, Powys, Worcestershire, Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire and Ceredigion. As part of our fundraising efforts, our fantastic office teams took part in wear red day today. Frank was a big Liverpool FC fan, so we are sure he would have approved of this theme! A huge thank you to everyone who took part and please keep spreading awareness of this fantastic charity fund. https://lnkd.in/ehHg2tYe #charityfundraising
