Learn how organizations like Beyond Basic Needs and Give InKind champion the cause and how you can join hands to support the cancer community: https://lnkd.in/ev5Q2e94 #CancerSucks #CancerWarrior #CancerSupport

Thank you to Kirsty and Robbie for the lovely feedback about our Little Box of Hope support packs - it is great to hear how helpful you found it for the whole family. Our volunteers absolutely love hearing feedback from families. Our FREE support and information packs are called "A Little Box of Hope" and are available to those in the UK with a diagnosis of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). We have two versions - One has been developed for children under the age of 10 and one is aimed at those aged 10 and over. It is the same form to complete and our volunteers will send out the box for the relevant age group. Our Little Box of Hope packs were the idea of Abbie. When she was just 7 years old, she wanted to help other children with JIA and the idea of A Little Box of Hope was born. Abbie helped to develop the packs and they were then rolled out as a trial to ensure that they met the needs of children and families affected by JIA. For older children, the 'teen' pack version was then developed to ensure that resources were more age-appropriate for them. Young children receive a free copy of the Kipo storybook in their pack, whilst older children receive a free copy of Peg-leg written by a young person with JIA in the style of 'diary of a wimpy kid'. Both packs contain a copy of our "My JIA" booklet as well as lots of other helpful information and resources to help you on your JIA journey. If you need any extra copies of the information or publications, digital copies of Kipo, Peg-Leg and My JIA can be found on our website along with lots more information for families affected by JIA. These much-needed packs are only made possibly by your generous donations and fundraising support. Thank you to every person who has supported us to make these support packs a possibility! A Little Box of Hope can be requested at www.jarproject.org/hope (we can post to UK addresses only) #JIA #JuvenileArthritis #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JuvenileArthritisResearch #Arthritis #ChildhoodArthritis #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #JIAWarrior #ArthritisAwareness #charity #Support #KidsWithArthritis #KidsGetArthritisToo #RaiseAwareness #ThinkJIA

As a board member of Wonderland Family and Child Services, I've witnessed firsthand the groundbreaking work this nonprofit does for children and families in need. Through services like education, therapy, and mental health support, Wonderland helps kids of all abilities reach their full potential. It's important we know our facts: - Prenatal Substance Exposure (PSE) is a crisis affecting 1 in 10 children—that's an estimated 165,000 in Washington State alone, and millions nationwide. - Untreated PSE can lead to lifelong disabilities and serious behavioral issues. - Hope RISING Clinic, created & run by Wonderland Family and Child Services, is the ONLY clinic in Washington State offering comprehensive services for these children. - The demand for these life-changing services far surpasses what's currently available. That's where you come in. A generous donation enables us to not only continue but EXPAND our services, build awareness of PSE, and foster crucial collaborations—with the WA State Legislature, county partners, local rehabilitation centers, and others. NOT ONLY THAT, but for a limited time during our annual "Season of Wonder" fundraiser, all new donations will be DOUBLE MATCHED! And that's on top of any corporate match you might have. We are so close to our $150k goal, and with your help, we can get there. Ready to make a real difference?

It was a delight to receive this photo from Seth's mum showing Seth receiving his Little Box of Hope support pack from Juvenile Arthritis Research. Seth's mum told us "I just want to say thank you so much for Seth's pack. So much info and he loves Kipo." There is a reason why the boxes are called a Little Box of Hope and it is because at that worrying and overwhelming time when you have a child diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), it can be hard to imagine what the future will look like. We know that with earlier diagnosis, and getting started promptly on treatment, we can achieve better outcomes for children with JIA. Once the right medication and treatment is underway, many children can lead full and active lives as they grow up with JIA. We want to remind families of that hope as well as letting them know that we are here for them. Because when families connect with us by requesting a Little Box of Hope pack, it is just the beginning. Our volunteers can then support them through their JIA journey as much as they need with 1:1 support, a peer support network, help with any challenges at school and so much more. So if your hospital doesn't yet know about us and what we offer families completely free of charge, please do let them know and ask them to get in touch. We have lots of signposting materials available to hospitals too. www.jarproject.org/hope #JIA #JuvenileArthritis #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JuvenileArthritisResearch #Kipo #Arthritis #ChildhoodArthritis #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #JARProject #JIAWarrior #ArthritisAwareness #charity #CharitableCause #NonProfit #Donate #Support #causes #fundraising #philanthropy #KidsWithArthritis #KidsGetArthritisToo #DontBeAloneWithJIA #InstaCharity #RaiseAwareness #ThinkJIA #AwarenessIsEverything #PaediatricRheumatology

“I learnt from Lexi that age is irrelevant when it comes to advocacy.” At the end of the month, we’ll be attending this year’s PReS Congress. It is an opportunity for researchers, clinicians and patient organisations to come together, share their latest projects and share best practice from around the globe. As part of ENCA, we have been putting together this year’s programme of presentations and talks and we have some amazing speakers and topics lined up. In the meantime, you can catch up on last year’s ENCA speakers on our YouTube channel including 12 year old Felix Townsend’s inspirational, powerful and tear-jerking presentation. Felix’s sister lost her life due to complications resulting from an incredibly rare condition called Blau Syndrome. Felix and his family continue Lexi’s legacy with advocacy work and supporting research towards finding a cure for Blau syndrome. You can watch Felix’s talk at https://bit.ly/PRESfelix @cureblausyndrome #JIA #JuvenileArthritis #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JuvenileArthritisResearch #Kipo #Arthritis #ChildhoodArthritis #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #JARProject #JIAWarrior #ArthritisAwareness #charity #CharitableCause #NonProfit #Donate #Support #causes #fundraising #philanthropy #KidsWithArthritis #KidsGetArthritisToo #DontBeAloneWithJIA #InstaCharity #RaiseAwareness #ThinkJIA #AwarenessIsEverything #PaediatricRheumatology #Blau #BlauSyndrome

Did you know that epilepsy is a significant part of Coach Heather Binns‘s life’s journey? Epilepsy, a neurological disorder, doesn’t discriminate based on age, race, or gender. Shockingly, 1 in 10 individuals will experience a seizure, and 1 in 26 will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. Heather’s personal battle with epilepsy began in her twenties after a near-death experience, leading to simple partial and complex partial seizures. The journey was bewildering, navigating from one doctor’s office to another in search of answers to the peculiar sensations she was experiencing. In our ongoing commitment to raise awareness about epilepsy and empower individuals to support those affected by it, We’ve formed a team for the Epilepsy Walk Los Angeles on April 28th at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. And guess what? You don’t have to be local to participate! 😁 We invite you to join Team Renov8, whether virtually or in person, for the Epilepsy Walk Los Angeles, or consider donating to the cause at https://lnkd.in/gy4VZeuY - This cause is deeply meaningful to us, and your support in spreading awareness and raising funds for this vital cause would mean the world to us. Thank you for your kindness and generosity! 🙏 Epilepsy Foundation #HeatherBinns #HeatherCPT #FindYourAthleteWithin #Renov8TheBody #Renov8TheMind #Renov8Fitness #TeamRenov8 #epilepsy #epilepsywalkla #epilepsywalklosangeles #donate #charity #fundraiser #fundraising #EpilepsyAwareness #EndEpilepsy #EpilepsyWalk #RaiseAwareness #SupportEachOther #RoseBowl #Pasadena #NeurologicalDisorder #CommunitySupport #HealthAwareness #Empowerment

It’s NOT SIDS!  Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) is different from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) by age. SIDS is characterized by the unexplained death of infants under the age of 12 months, while SUDC is characterized as those deaths occurring between 12 months and 18 years of age that are unexplained after thorough investigation.     Over the years, SIDS research has received about $500 million in public funding, but unfortunately, there has been no targeted funding for SUDC during the same time period (NIH Estimates of Funding for Various Research, Condition, and Disease Categories, 2023). Your donation to the SUDC Foundation can help fund crucial research and support efforts for families affected by SUDC. Please consider making a contribution today to support our mission at: https://sudc.org/donate/. The SUDC Foundation is the only organization worldwide dedicated to raising awareness, funding research, and supporting those affected by SUDC. All our trauma-informed services are provided at no cost to the communities we serve.
