May is CF awareness month! Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. At present, there is no cure. People with CF create thick, sticky mucus in their bodies. This makes it hard to absorb fat and nutrients, which is why a good cystic fibrosis diet is one that is high in calories and high in fat. There are a number of new medications available for CF patients, but they aren’t cures and they’re very expensive. More research is needed! You can help by donating and by sharing this post to raise awareness! Donate: https://lnkd.in/g7AF2zc2

This week is #CFWeek! A week to help raise awareness and vital funds for a life limiting condition. We're avid supporters of Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the work they do. PLEASE JOIN US IN WEARING YELLOW THIS FRIDAY 21ST JUNE TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting more than 10,900 people in the UK. You are born with CF and cannot catch it later in life, but one in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing. People with cystic fibrosis (CF) often look healthy, but it's a life-limiting condition that affects those living with it in many ways. The condition is caused by a genetic mutation that means cells in the human body are unable to move salt and water around effectively. This results in a build-up of thick mucus in the lungs and digestive system, as well as a number of other effects. This year we're aiming to raise £10,000 for this incredible charity. If you can donate anything at all, please do via this link: https://lnkd.in/eJMpufm5 Find out more about why we're so passionate about supporting this charity - https://lnkd.in/e7MM46cA #CFAwareness #CysticFibrosis #CFTrust

Burns Scalo Real Estate needs your help to give the gift of life! We are hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, May 1st, at the Bentley (965 Greentree Road, Suite 210, Pittsburgh, PA 15220) from 10 am to 3 pm to help address the dire blood shortage. The Red Cross supplies ~40% of all blood and has reported that they are at a 20-year supply low. While some people are ineligible to donate, please consider the benefits for those who can: 1. Your gift can provide life-saving blood to someone who needs medical attention. 2. According to a recent article, regularly donating blood may improve heart health. That’s because donating reduces the thickness of your blood, allowing it to flow more easily through your body and reach your heart faster. Another study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who donated blood had an 88% lower risk of suffering a heart attack. 3. A study by the University of San Diego found that donating one pint of blood “burns” between 600 and 650 calories. How? Calories are burned when the body expends energy to replace the removed red blood cells. 4. You get a mini-physical. The screening involves checking your blood pressure, pulse, and hemoglobin levels. Your blood will be tested for sickle cell trait and other infectious diseases, and you will receive a private letter with the results. You will also be given your blood type. 🅰 🆎 🅱 🅾 Please click this link to reserve your spot in our blood drive and pass it along to friends, colleagues, vendors, clients, etc:   https://lnkd.in/g6W6yxGJ. We need 31 donors to make this a success!

KNOW YOUR GENOTYPE! Genotype testing for sickle cell disease (SCD) is vital for identifying carriers and individuals with the disease, allowing Sickle Cell Warriors to learn their risk of passing on and plan for healthier kids. Knowing your genotype can also ultimately help to "Reduce the cycle of pain." Take control of your health today! Our endgame is to reduce the death rate of children below the age of 5 living with sickle cell disease form 75% to less than 10% by 2025. Our goal is to raise 30,000,000 NGN to provide essential nutrients for 2,000 children with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).

***TODAY IS PKD DAY** On April 30, we celebrate and honor those who have impacted lives by donating blood for individuals with PKD. We want to express our deep gratitude for their contributions, highlighting the crucial role they play in improving quality of life. Let's come together to raise awareness and appreciation for their invaluable support. Individuals with Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency often rely on frequent blood transfusions, starting from infancy. April 30 marks the 120th day of the year, symbolizing the lifespan of a healthy red blood cell - 120 days. Additionally, the bone marrow produces a staggering 120 million red blood cells in just one minute. However, for those with PK Deficiency, red blood cells last only a fraction of that time, from a few days to 2-8 weeks. Are you curious about the vital impact of blood donation on the lives of those affected by Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD)? Join us in watching Spikey's video to gain a deeper understanding of why blood donation is so crucial for individuals battling PKD. #PKDDay #PKDAwareness #Spikey

I am incredibly encouraged to be working with people taking action in whatever ways they can to improve global health and well-being. People who are kind and constructive, in the face of otherwise overwhelming challenges. Fear is incredibly powerful and contagious. But kindness and constructive optimism are too! We can see the swift and destructive might of pathogenic viruses and drug-resistant microbes. Fortunately, there are helpful viruses and microbes with tremendous potential to protect health. 🌱 It starts with a simple seed! 🌍 #antiepidemics #peoplehelpingpeople #civilsociety #onehealth #globalhealth
