It's October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month - and we are rallying to support each other and others.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer

Annual fundraising for American Cancer Society and cancer awareness - the Santa Clara County hospital systems gather annually to do some community awareness and fund raising as well as hand out various cancer self tests to local communities.

WaaSEE Goes Pink is the opportunity for the team to collaborate in raising funds for Susan G. Komen research and advocacy of breast cancer awareness. The team seeks to provide contributions which will further assist in making an impact against the disease.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This annual campaign spotlights breast cancer research, prevention, education, treatment, and ultimately, the fight to find a cure. The following organizations are committed to increasing breast cancer awareness through research initiatives and education programs surrounding prevention and early-detection, while advocating for patient access to high-quality treatment options. Organizations included in this Fund also promote awareness surrounding metastatic breast cancer--the most advanced stage of breast cancer--and provide supportive services for those affected by breast cancer. Your donation to this Fund will help these organizations support breast cancer patients and survivors as the fight to find a cure continues.

Let's find cure for Schizophrenia! In March 2022, I lost my younger son to Schizophrenia. Although technically he died by suicide, in my mind he was killed by that evil disease. This wicked disease practically makes affected individual ‘Differently Disabled’. We simply cannot fathom what they are going through. I believe it is incumbent upon us to defeat this monster. Schizophrenia International Research Society is an approved non-profit for donation matching for Rabobank employees for up to $500 per employee per calendar year. Please check and share this link for fundraiser page created by my elder son. Note that donations made to SIRS from this page are not eligible for match by Rabobank. https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-legacy-of-savit-joshi Thank you!

By now most of you know that I'm running in the London Marathon next month. It's been a gruelling process and will be my first and last marathon... but it's all in the name of charity and well worth the pain! This year I am running in support of Children's Cancer & Leukaemia Group (CCLG). Each week in the UK and Ireland, more than 30 children are diagnosed with cancer and around 1 in 8 children do not survive. Your donation to support every kilometre I run, will help to fund information and research that enables quicker diagnosis and kinder more effective treatments, shaping a future where every child diagnosed with cancer survives to live happy, healthy and independent life. Call to action: both the CCLG charity and I would be incredibly grateful for any size donation - and your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much to all those who donate.

In Mexico, 1 out of 4 indigenous children suffer from chronic malnutrition and, in the Los Altos region of Chiapas, 9 out of 10 people do not have food security. Without proper nutrition in their formative years, children in Tzotzil communities grow up without the energy to play, create and learn. The municipalities where Amextra collaborates in this project are among the 5 municipalities with the highest percentage of families living in poverty in Mexico. How can you contribute? With your donation done between Sep 12 and 30, 2022, we will be able to provide 70 rural families with supplies and training so that they can produce and consume their own food. The 6 strategies to achieve access to healthy and local food are: 1) Community greenhouse maintenance. 2) Community chicken coop installation. 3) Workshops on agroecological techniques. 4) Recovery and distribution of native seeds. 5) Workshops for preparing diverse foods of local production. 6) Breastfeeding workshops. Donate and help us win in the Nutrition Lottery!

In 1968, Richard T. Silver, MD, a prominent hematologist-oncologist, founded the Cancer Research & Treatment Fund (CR&T) with the belief that investing in blood cancer research would lead to important breakthroughs, as well as a better understanding of the biology and treatment of all forms of cancer. While the focus of the organization is the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), over the course of its 53-year history, CR&T has awarded more than $16 million in grants to research that has contributed to major advances in the fight against cancer.

About This Fund: For those who don’t have a car, we provide bus or plane tickets to the nearest clinic which can help you decide whether you can access an abortion, in any state. We work with clinics to offset fuel costs if a car is available for transportation. Any person driving several hours to an abortion clinic needs a place to stay before and after their procedure. Additionally, Texas law requires a 24-hour waiting period for anyone who chooses abortion. This means most abortion appointments are a minimum of 2-days long: one day for the consultation and a second for the procedure. Longer procedures can last as long as 5 days, not counting travel time. We book with friendly hotels vetted by our group or suggested by the clinic. You may have heard about the 6-week abortion ban that went into effect September 1, 2021. This law does not criminalize a person for obtaining an abortion. Rather, those who perform abortions or assist a person in obtaining an abortion after 6-weeks may face civil liability. Moreover, with the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade we fear. Texas laws against abortions with contine. Fund Texas Choice continues to serve pregnant people who are seeking abortion-related services and information in compliance with the law to the best of our understanding. About The Host Organization: Fund Texas Choice envisions a society in which abortion is embraced as healthcare and a human right. As a human right, abortion is equitably accessible across political, economic and social systems so that people have autonomous bodies and futures supported by powerful and vibrant communities.
