Texas Mamma Jamma Ride的动态

Breast cancer awareness hits home for me in a profound way. As a 25-year-old, I watched my mother’s life be taken by breast cancer in just three short months. It was a devastating reminder of how aggressive this disease can be if not detected early. Breast cancer is highly survivable when caught in time, and that's why awareness, early detection, and regular screenings are so important. ?? I stand with the incredible survivors, advocates, and those still fighting this battle. Let's keep spreading the word and making a difference. Regular Mammograms: Mammograms are the most effective screening tool for early detection. Women aged 40 and above, or those with higher risk factors, should follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for regular screenings. Self-Exams: Performing monthly breast self-exams allows you to become familiar with your body. This helps you notice any unusual changes, like lumps, swelling, or shifts in size or shape, that should be reported to a doctor. Above all, advocating for yourself is crucial. If something feels off, trust your instincts and push for further evaluation.

Childhood brain cancer is becoming more common, while adult diagnoses continue to decline. Yet, most of the money that is devoted to studying brain cancer focuses on finding new treatments for adults. Your donation today has the power to change this. Your support funds science that focuses on diagnosing and treating tumors in young, developing brains. And thanks to a generous donor, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar until the end of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. Every dollar you donate is doubled. Every dollar goes farther toward accelerating progress toward effective treatments for childhood brain cancer that will help kids not only survive but thrive.

Spread the word: Encourage others to get involved and spread the word about mammograms. #pinkarmy #americancancersociety

After many months of hard work, it was fantastic to see so many from across the research community, research funders, and industry, coming together at yesterday's brain tumour research roundtable to consider how to drive progress and make a success of these new NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) funding opportunities. Many of the attendees present yesterday had already been incredibly generous with their time and expertise in helping to shape what these new initiatives look like, and it was particularly poignant to be bringing them all together just two days after the anniversary of Dame Tessa Jowell's death from glioblastoma 6 years ago, to discuss how to make a step change for brain tumour patients through research. ? Key points I took from the roundtable discussions: ? ?? Patients, and their needs and experiences, must guide everything we do ?? In taking a collaborative approach, and bringing together the expertise not only of those in the room but of the people in their networks, we can be more than the sum of our parts and drive faster progress ?? There is a need to build capacity on a number of fronts, and it is up to everyone to extend the ladder to make that happen ?? Partnership between industry and academia provides an opportunity to de-risk this space for industry and to enable better asset selection ?? Regional variation in availability and accessibility of trials (and trial-enabling services like WGS) must be eliminated ?? The impact of good quality care, support and rehabilitation for brain tumour patients should not be underestimated, and there is a need for research to identify the best approaches ? It was clear that the work of the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission, over the 6 years since its formation, has brought together the brain tumour research community who now stand ready to move forward in a cohesive and collaborative way to capitalise on the outputs of all the efforts so far.?I am particularly grateful to the wonderful Nicky Huskens and Andrew Wright, who have been key partners in the development of the roundtable and the new initiatives, and who I know will continue to play a crucial role in ensuring their success. Thanks also to NIHR colleagues Robert Gray, Claire Gregory and Richard Buchanan who put their well-oiled wheels into swift motion to develop the details of the treatment and care funding calls, which I am excited to see the launch this of later this summer. ? No doubt there will be challenges which must be overcome as this work moves forward, but it was heartening to hear several participants highlight that if we can get this right for brain tumours, it can provide a model for other rare cancers and rare diseases, providing an opportunity to improve treatment and care for many more patients.?

Watch my full TEDx talk on YouTube titled, "Seeing Life from a Different Lens" where I talk about the three steps I took to overcome the emotional trauma of surviving a rare childhood eye cancer called retinoblastoma and how you too can see the world through a different lens with love, empathy and compassion. My Call to Action for you: Before you donate money to childhood cancer, donate your time with other survivors. I have witnessed first hand what happens when we let connections unite us and what happens when we let our differences divide us. The former is the world I want to live in. https://lnkd.in/gAhXCgdf TED Conferences TEDX #TEDTalks
