We are launching this fund to raise awareness and hopefully donations for some wonderful charities who support people with Disabilities across Ireland.

For the past 8 years, Bridge II Sports has hosted August Madness, a wheelchair basketball tournament fundraiser. Hundreds of people from corporations, community organizations, and universities have been introduced to the life-changing power of adapted sport and the abilities of people with physical disabilities. This year would have been the 9th anniversary of our outstanding event, but COVID-19 has pushed us in an exciting new direction. Virtual Madness still embodies our mission of the event—spread awareness of the competitiveness of adapted sports, break down stereotypes about disability, and support an incredible organization—while keeping all players safe. Instead of a wheelchair basketball tournament, we’re challenging players of ALL skill levels to shoot as many free-throws as possible in 1 minute … while seated in a chair. Same court, same chair, right? We hope you’ll join in the fun from your own chair! COVID has impacted everyone, and funds were given where need was greatest—as it should be. Unfortunately, Bridge II Sports did not receive the funding this year that we have in the past. Our future is at risk as an organization, and we need your help. Why? Every child born with a disability and every Veteran who incurs a disability need and deserve to have physical activity and recreation. Disability creates its own isolation, and adapted sports create community. Adapted sports develop independence and strong mental and emotional health. Our goal is to raise $100,000 so that we can continue to provide the programs and events that are so vital to our community. Thank you for your support! https://www.bridge2sports.org/virtualmadness/#tab-id-1

A majority of my life I have spent struggling with mental disabilities and illnesses that prevent me from living my life even slightly. Recently I have had some things happen and have lost some people that has caused me to become more suicidal than I have ever been. The doctor visits and medical costs are becoming to much to bare and causing me to suffer more. As a mother of 3 I just want to stay alive and give my children the best life I possibly can, these mental illnesses make that task next to impossible. I was told about this in hopes I could raise some money to help end my fight with my mental illnesses. With the right amount of money and help from outside medical sources I can live a better life. So from one Campbells employee to another could you offer some help? Anything Helps... Thank you!!!!!!!

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are among the most deadly that someone can sustain. The severity and location of the injury on the spinal cord determine its impact — the higher the damage, the more severe and deadly it is likely to be. For example, a cervical spinal cord injury is more life-threatening than a lumbar SCI, although both are life-altering injuries. According to the most recent statistics from the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), there are estimated to be between 247,000 and 358,000 people living with SCIs living in the United States. Bernado Zendejas is a former TAC engineer in his 20¨s that transitioned to a Pre sales SE role in the SP segment and then got SCI during a beach vacation, after a long fight to regain mobility he´s back working for Cisco at GVE. Re-certifying his CCIE and achieving his Devnet certification. You think the pandemic is a challenge and you feel gaunt?

Our Mission at Noble is to expand opportunities and enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families. Noble does not charge families for their services, as they get reimbursed through Medicaid. However, it’s not enough to cover the cost of providing quality services. That’s why Noble writes grants and host fundraising events. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we have had to cancel 2 of our 3 largest fund raising events in 2020. Please consider donating to our cause as we try to make up the difference! Here is a quick video explaining in more detail who and how Noble helps our community: https://youtu.be/YS6H2qyKnCM

WHAT IS METASTATIC CANCER? Tumor metastasis (from the Greek “change of place”) is the movement of tumor cells from the site where the cancer began, to grow in other sites of the body. It is a complex process that is only partially understood today at the biochemical and molecular levels. When a cancer patient wakes from surgery and asks “Has it spread?”, they are asking if the tumor has metastasized. For many cancers, surgery and radiation therapy remove or destroy the the primary tumor. It is the spread of cancer cells to other (secondary) sites and their growth in these sites that can contribute to some cancer patients’ sickness (morbidity) and deaths (mortality).

I am excited to share with you that I will be running my first Boston Marathon on April 15th, 2019! Many of you know that I've dreamed about running the Boston Marathon for years; I am humbled to have the opportunity to run as part of the Brigham and Women's Stepping Strong Team. Our family has been fortunate to benefit from the amazing doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital over the last year. During this time, we've gotten to know more about the Center for Trauma Innovation that was initiated after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. In 2013, Boston was changed forever when a beautiful Marathon Monday turned into a senseless tragedy. Gillian Reny, then a high school senior, was one of the 39 critically injured patients rushed to Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), where doctors and nurses saved her life and both of her legs. In gratitude to BWH, the Reny family established The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation to help other trauma patients like Gillian regain their strength and ability to step strong once again. The Center brings together multidisciplinary experts to transform research, care, and outcomes for civilian and military heroes who suffer from devastating traumatic injuries. Stepping Strong funded initiatives are making a profound difference for trauma patients and their families worldwide. To date, the center has raised more than $14.3 million. But much more needs to be done. Trauma is often referred to as the neglected global epidemic of modern society as it accounts for 43 million hospital visits and an economic burden of $671 billion per year. And every 3 minutes, someone dies from a traumatic injury. When you support a member of the 2019 BWH Stepping Strong Marathon Team, you are helping BWH turn tragedy into hope for civilian and military heroes worldwide who have suffered devastating traumatic injuries. Thank you for supporting this extraordinary group of runners and continuing to honor the Boston Strong spirit that still defines our city today.
