Jill's Fundraising Journey (UK, 1160327) Browse events

Jill Goodrum, 46, was a wife, mother and grandmother who was diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes and liver; it was terminal. Her attitude was to not only fight the cancer but also to raise £10,000 to be shared between two charities. She also wished to raise awareness because if her diagnosis had come earlier, the outlook would have been very different. She achieved these aims through a Facebook page named Jill's Fundraising Journey (www.facebook.com/jillsfundraisingjourney). Devastatingly, Jill passed away on the 21st of May 2014, just 8 months after receiving the initial diagnosis. The £10,000 target was smashed nearly exactly a year to the day that Jill was diagnosed, just a few short months after her death. Jill left behind five children, Grace, 4, Amy, 8, Jemma, 20, Lyndsey, 27 and James, 29, as well as four grandchildren Elowen, 1, Sofia, 1, Amelie, 4 and Ella, 9. Her two eldest daughters have carried on her story, setting up Jill's Fundraising Journey as a charity in it's own right to continue raising awareness. They also wish to realise two of Jill's dreams through the charity, the first to have a book published of her journey, the second to open a holiday home for cancer sufferers and their families. Jill was made only too aware of how cancer does not only affect the person diagnosed, especially if there are young children in the family. Lyndsey and Jemma are extremely proud to now be able to offer the book of Jill's journey up for order. It is an emotional insight into cancer, the effects it has on a person's mental and physical state, as well as the effects of the family following the death of a loved one. It is 'the ugly truth of cancer'. All profits from the book, as well as other promotional items available on the fundraising page, go straight back into jfj with the aim of realising Jill's second dying wish. Jill's words: "Reach for the moon and dare to hope."

HOPEmalawiUK (UK, EW11537) Browse events

HOPEmalawiUK started when a bunch of friends decided to try make a difference for the people of Nkhata Bay, Malawi. We chose Nkhata Bay because the people there came to the aid of one of our members in 1996. Since then, others have heard the story and got involved. We support the grassroots organisation HOPEmalawi. HOPEmalawi support those that are looking for a helping hand, not a hand-out. They argue against those in their community who won’t do anything to help themselves as much as the poverty they see around them. These are the people determined to help make a permanent change away from dependence on aid. That’s the end game. Our hope is to link people and community groups in the UK that will support and encourage similar groups in Nkhata Bay; these days’ communities have no borders. They inspire us as much as we inspire them. We are a community of like-minded people and everyone who wants to join in is welcome.

Hadassah UK (UK, 1040848) Browse events

MORE MILES, MORE SPONSORSHIP, MORE MS RESEARCH, MORE CHANGE WHY HADASSAH M.S. RESEARCH? I’m taking on this extraordinary challenge to run 10 marathons in 10 consecutive days in May to raise funds for Hadassah Medical Organisation’s cutting-edge research into Multiple Sclerosis for many reasons. I know people with the disease, I work at Hadassah which delivers 50% of all clinical research undertaken in Israel. Consequently I am now aware of the incredible treatments currently being researched and stem cell trials being carried out at Hadassah which can make a real difference to M.S. sufferers everywhere. In stem cell research, there are great benefits offered for other degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Dementia & ALS, but MS stem cell work ticks all the four areas of being suitable for these illnesses as well. In Parkinson’s disease Hadassah has already developed other techniques such as “Deep Brain Stimulation". The MS research has already shown a major impact in ALS, (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). This currently has a 0% chance of recovery, but results from Hadassah’s work show a significant measurable improvement in a 6 out of 7 patient trial with this bone marrow stem cell treatment. This is unprecedented. We are highlighting cutting edged research and clinical trials on Multiple Sclerosis which can have an immediate impact. It seems fitting that a disease like M.S. that restricts movement could have donations raised for it by an ordinary person like me, running and moving excessively. Pushing myself to run these marathons with their peaks and troughs will not be automatic, there will be an awareness of pain, a daily acknowledgment of the body’s failings and graces. By joining with me to support Hadassah Hospital’s vital research into Multiple Sclerosis in 2015, we can raise funds for further trials to include more patients widening the reach of MS treatment. Please join and help us by donating! Through medicine, Hadassah in Jerusalem serves as an example and a “bridge to peace” treating all patients regardless of religion, nationality or politics.

North Edinburgh Dementia Care (UK, SCO24898) Browse events

If you think you think you are too small to make an impact try going to bed with a mosquito in the room (quote from Dame Anita Roddick)  Seriously though we are a small charity but we aim to have a BIG impact and you can help. Six days a week at N.E.D.C .- The Seagrove Centre, we welcome in 18 local people who have dementia . They are collected from home and travel to the centre for a light breakfast. While enjoying these snacks they are offered a choice of four meaningful activities to take part in.  A wide variety of things are on offer from Wii fit, baking, having debates , dancing, gardening, singing, throwing custard pies , archery, entertainers, outings and all things in between to hairdressing and chiropody. The aim for this service is too keep our members safe, healthy and happy and to ensure they have something to look forward to each week. While doing the above activities the members overall wellbeing is helped and this can help them to stay living in their own home longer. It sounds easy but is actually quite challenging. We try to meet our members physical,emotional and practical needs all while keeping them safe. Additionally we also try to meet these same aspects for their carers. However it is the most rewarding job too as we get to see the benefits to the members almost from day 1. The Seagrove Centre is run by a not for profit organisation, and we receive the majority of our funding from the City of Edinburgh Council. We are very fortunate to have this support and to have a purpose built centre for this vital work. Like all good services we are constantly trying to improve our practice, to  do this we need money. We will use any funds to: Develop further health promotion initiatives ( following on from our successful in- house chiropody service) which will keep our members healthier and happier  To buy new resource materials,  And keep the centre and gardens in an excellent state of decoration.
