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.

Donating blood is a powerful act of kindness that can save lives. Here's why it's so important: • Emergencies: Blood is critical for accident victims and surgeries. • Patients: Those with cancer, anemia, or other conditions rely on blood transfusions. • Community: It's a way to give back and support your local community. Be a hero – donate blood and make a life-changing impact. https://lnkd.in/g7SznXJ8 #DonateBlood

Reducing Financial Burden: The Power of Comfort Boxes At Cancer Card, we understand that a cancer diagnosis isn't just a health challenge, it's a financial burden that can weigh heavily on patients and their families. Recent research by Macmillan highlights the stark reality—four out of five cancer patients find themselves, on average, £570 poorer each month due to the financial impact of their diagnosis. This is where our Comfort Boxes come in. More than just thoughtful gifts, they are designed to alleviate the financial strain that often accompanies a cancer journey. Each item, from the digital thermometer and blanket to the travel mug, notepad and pen serves a purpose beyond comfort—they contribute to reducing the day-to-day living costs that cancer patients face. YOUR DONATION MATTERS Your donation to our Comfort Box fundraiser isn't just a gift; it's a lifeline for those faced with both health challenges and financial stress.

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
