Wow friends, just wow. You all blow me away and I am forever humbled by your generosity. Donations YOU have made to Breakthrough T1D through my little portal are up to almost $9,000. My team is up to almost $20,000. That means that after my company’s match, we’re up to almost $60,000 in donations. I can‘t believe it. You all are very kind and have very HUGE hearts, thank you so much. I can’t tell you how much it means to me. We‘re less than 2 weeks away from the Breakthrough T1D walk at Citizens Bank Park on 11/10. We‘re meeting up around 8:30AM at my company‘s tent at the park. That’s right, just park like you would for a Phillies game, but this time it’s free, and walk towards the park. You’ll be out before noon. We’re expecting over 5,000 walkers, and you get to walk on the field where our Philadelphia Phillies play. How awesome is THAT? You can meet me at my company’s booth labeled “Good Neighbor Pharmacy”. I promise, we won‘t be hard to spot. You may see some signage for “Cencora” as well. That‘s us too, just look for those signs :) It‘s pronounced Sen-CORE-u, with a soft “u”. But you can call us whatever you like, we don‘t mind :) Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) is a cause near and dear to my heart. I have T1D (type 1 diabetes), my sister has T1D, and my cousins daughter has T1D. I know there is scientific evidence to support the fact that this is not hereditary, but that‘s a little weird, right? How do we all have this?!?!?! Thank goodness we have a nice family support network, we need it. My doctor always asks me if I “feel” my low blood sugars. What a weird question, of course I feel my low blood sugars, they’re awful. Well, I always felt those low blood sugars up until a few months ago. Now I don‘t always feel my low blood sugars. And that‘s scary. It‘s a thing that can happen to people with T1D over time, and a low blood sugar you can’t feel can kill you. Thank goodness for continuous glucose monitors. These devices help people with diabetes understand what their blood sugars are even when they don‘t know it. Candidly, they save lives. I hope you’ll consider walking with us on 11/10 at Citizen‘s Bank Park, and if you can‘t, I hope you’ll consider a donation to Breakthrough T1D. These are the people that have been responsible for almost every technological breakthrough in diabetes care and treatment throughout my life with T1D. Moms and dads did you know that there are screenings now for children that may be susceptible to T1D? Did you know that if your child tests positive, there are drugs available that can delay the onset of T1D? What I would give to I have delayed my diagnosis for even a couple of years. Send me a DM if you have questions, I’m here to help! Thank you all, and I hope you’ll consider walking or a donation to Breakthrough T1D. All the best, Kurt https://lnkd.in/ejis45C6

The premature passing of rugby legend Rob Burrow as a consequence of motor neuron disease, one of far too many rare and not-so-rare incurable illnesses, is a reminder of how much remains to be done therapeutically to provide all people the chance at a reasonable quality and duration of life.??Millions of people still suffer from incurable illnesses, many of which strike young.??Though most are not so well-known, each of these individuals’ lives, joy, and aspirations are needlessly cut short, and the misfortune sends irreversible shock waves through every one of their families and social networks.??The urgency to address this need and the opportunity to have a transformative impact motivate me every day in the work that I do.??Through effective use of data, I know we can collectively break through barriers in novel ways to reveal the secrets of these afflictions and develop effective therapies to renew the opportunity of life for the millions of people who are waiting. Not only can we, we must. More information about motor neuron disease and donations being accepted at: https://lnkd.in/dKhPuz2p? https://lnkd.in/d3vkrnwK

Help me take action for the entire T1D community I'm walking to raise money for Breakthrough T1D. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that is diagnosed in both children and adults and has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. Managing T1D requires constant attention and action—including overnight. Even with a strict regimen, people with T1D can still experience dangerously high or low blood sugar that can lead to complications and, in extreme cases, be life-threatening. Breakthrough T1D, the leading global T1D research and advocacy organization, has played a crucial role in nearly every major T1D breakthrough in history. No organization does more to improve everyday life with T1D—from therapy development and access, to expanding research, advocacy, and community support. Your contribution to Breakthrough T1D Walk charts a path to cure, prevent, and better treat type 1 diabetes and its complications—and ensure access to treatments globally. Join me in taking action for the entire T1D community!

Crescent Hotels & Resorts and the Williams Family have come together to match donations up to $1,000 to the JDRF Mid-Atlantic Chapter ?? JDRF One Walk ?? TODAY! I’m raising money for the?JDRF?One Walk because I believe in a world without type 1?diabetes?(T1D). T1D is a serious autoimmune disease that impacts millions of people and cannot be prevented or cured – YET! People who live with T1D regularly monitor their blood-sugar level, inject or infuse insulin through a pump, and carefully balance those doses with eating and daily activities to prevent uncomfortable, and even dangerous, side effects. Every single day. JDRF?is leading the fight against T1D by funding?research, advocating for policies that accelerate access to new therapies, and providing a support network for millions of people around the world impacted by T1D. But they can’t do it without our support. If you feel so inclined, I hope you will support this great cause! No donation is too small, and every dollar truly makes a difference. Thanks for helping us reach our team goal! https://lnkd.in/eSiFDyMW

Meet Jon, one of our MNDSA supporters! Jon Von Duve is a member of our MNDSA community, who has supported us since 2021, when his late father Richard was diagnosed with MND. Jon will be joining our intrepid team of Trekkers on the 2024 Bay of Fires Trek! You can support Jon and our other Trekkers by sponsoring them on their fundraising pages: https://lnkd.in/gU6cZrzC He has been working alongside our team to start a number of initiatives for the Limestone Coast, to better serve people affected by MND in regional South Australia. We caught up with Jon to learn more about his journey. ***** ?? What did you feel when your dad was first diagnosed? Disbelief and shock—I couldn’t believe it was true. Dad had many injuries over the years, but nothing he couldn’t overcome. This was something else. Despite searching deeper and deeper into this diagnosis, help and hope were nowhere to be found. It was very difficult and felt unrealistic to come to terms with—that there was no hope, that Dad was essentially given a life sentence. I felt like we were alone, because this disease seemed so rare. Also, being in a rural area, I was afraid of what support and help we would have moving forward. ?? How did MNDSA help your dad and your family? Once Dad was fully diagnosed, we were introduced to MNDSA. From there, we met with them every few months when they visited our region and visited our home as Dad’s diagnosis progressed and his needs for further equipment increased. When we were in contact with MNDSA, we felt we were talking to everyday people, who understood and offered their personal support. ?? Why are you helping MNDSA spread awareness in the Limestone Coast? When Dad was first diagnosed, I felt we were alone, especially being in a rural community. Nobody ever spoke about MND. Those that had heard of it were very naive about it—including us. We didn't know what kind of journey we had to come. I wish to create the help, support and awareness that we would have benefitted from when our journey began, and that they are not alone. ?? You’ve created a Facebook page in collaboration with MNDSA for the Limestone Coast. Why did you want to do this? I feel social media is a great way to reach people, far and near. The more people I have spoken to within the community, the more people I have discovered are affected by MND. It honestly feels good talking about it, despite how difficult my journey has been with MND. I am hoping by launching a local Facebook page that it will promote awareness and support in the region. It’s all to create awareness for MNDSA. ***** Thank you Jon for supporting MNDSA! Read Jon's full story on our Facebook page. You can keep up to date with everything MNDSA is supporting in the Limestone Coast via our new Facebook page: https://lnkd.in/g_8sXT27 #MNDSA #MNDAwareness #UntilTheresACure

Civica's UK Local Government Cross-sell Team are looking to raise awareness of Pulmonary Fibrosis through ridiculous facial hair. ? Please make a donation if you can. Every pound makes a difference. As two of our team have relatives that have been affected by this horrendous disease it was the obvious choice for our Movember fund raiser. ? Around 5,000 people a year die of Pulmonary Fibrosis in the UK. Only a quarter of people survive more than five years after diagnosis. In fact, in our small team of 7 sales people one person has lost an uncle to this disease and another has a parent suffering from it right now. ? Our aim here is to raise awareness and raise some cash for a fantastic charity that is dedicated to stopping lives being devastated by pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease that naturally gets worse over time. This worsening is related to the amount of fibrosis (scarring) in the lungs. As this occurs, a person's breathing becomes more difficult, eventually resulting in shortness of breath, even at rest. ? We are raising money for Action For Pulmonary Fibrosis at the following link - https://lnkd.in/en5QXNED
