Chances are that cancer has touched you, your family, or friends. Cancer is the #2 killer behind heart disease and it’s on the rise…big time! Significant progress has been made thanks to organizations like the Dana-Farber Cancder Institute to find more cures and better treatments. Millions of lives have been saved or extended as a result. Cancer can take many forms. Some more deadly than others. Have you or your loved ones been impacted by this horrible disease? What are you doing about it? You will likely be surprised to hear that The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is the third largest fund raising event in the world. It’s a 2-day bike-a-thon that has raised a whopping $1 billion since the 1980. One-hundred percent of all donated funds go directly to finding cures and better treatments for cancer. Over the past three months, I have ridden close to 1,000 miles and raised over $28K to make an impact. Tomorrow we ride in what is expected to be a hot and humid two days. 6,500 riders will be getting up at 4:30am sleeping on floors and in tents, eating energy bars, hydrating with electrolyte drinks, being cheered on by thousands including living legacy survivors, and supported by an army of volunteers. Today, instead of sending unsolicited messages or LinkedIn connection invites to business prospects you don’t know, consider making a tax deductible donation to support the PMC. https://lnkd.in/eHhgzwfh

Day 10 of the #50Families50Days Campaign   $1,572 Legacy video for Marine with Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer   Marine MSgt Sam Brody had Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer. His disease had progressed, and his prognosis was poor. He had been removed from a clinical trial due to a new tumor, making this the second trial he had become ineligible for because of disease progression. The opinion was that any new treatment would only slow down the progression, not cure the disease. The doctors were trying to find another trial he could be eligible for, but in the meantime, he was placed back on chemotherapy to hopefully slow the progression. RSM and his wife wanted to create a legacy video for their two children to remember their father. Despite having lost 20 pounds in four weeks, RSM still looked healthy but was concerned he would look far worse once he started chemotherapy. It was a very urgent request, as he wanted to complete the video before his health declined further.   Requested Amount that TD Foundation provided immediate and direct assistance for: $1,572   To hear more amazing stories of impact from the TD Foundation, please follow along on our social media accounts.

Our goal is to find a cure for children’s cancer, especially the more than 50 types of sarcoma that affect around 900 children each year. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the connective tissue of the body, such as muscle, fat, and fibrous tissue. The most common sarcomas found in children are: 🎗Rhabdomyosarcoma – a tumor in which malignant cancer cells look like young, immature muscle cells (the most common soft tissue sarcoma found in children) 🎗Osteosarcoma – a type of bone cancer that starts in immature bone cells that normally form new bone tissue, then it destroys local tissue and weakens the bone (affects about 400 children and adolescents under the age of 20 each year) 🎗Ewing sarcoma – the second most common bone cancer in children (most often occurs in adolescents, with nearly half of cases arising between the ages of 10 and 20) Join us in our mission to accelerate research to put an end to sarcoma so that every child can enjoy a long, healthy life.
