Funds in Health

Roe v. Wade may have been overturned by the Supreme Court, but we can still take action to support abortion access in the US. Abortions are healthcare and we must stand together to provide access to reproductive decision-making and bodily autonomy.

How can you conquer kids’ cancer? Since no hospital has a monopoly on good ideas, St. Baldrick’s funds the most promising research — no matter where it happens.

Join us and Give Kids a Lifetime.

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.

I am riding my motorcyle from the Canadian border to the Mexican border to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention. https://www.wishyouwerehereride.com/ Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, with 45,979 deaths in 2020. This is about one death every 11 minutes. The number of people who think about or attempt suicide is even higher. In 2020, an estimated 12.2 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.2 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.2 million attempted suicide. Suicide affects all ages. In 2020, suicide was among the top 9 leading causes of death for people ages 10-64. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 25-34. My family has been affected by suicide twice. Many of yours have too. Please help me reach or exceed my goal of raising $1500 of donations to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Cisco will match this donation. Help me make an impact on reducing suicide in America.

MOVE with us to support Young People's Mental Health! The EMEA Talent Acquisition Team at VMware is #MOVING 20km in the 2 weeks from 27th June - 11th July to support YPMH on their pursuit to reduce the number of young people who experience mental health problems. "More young people than ever are suffering from depression. The condition has a huge and potentially devastating impact on them, their family and friends. It accounts for the largest share of the world’s burden of disease by years lost to disability, and it has a significant economic and wider social impact. Thus, it should be everybody’s business. Nonetheless, treatments have changed little in 30 years. Current treatments for depression in under-18s are effective in 60% of cases, and 50–75% experience a relapse, even after successful treatment. There is a clear and compelling need for a new way forward." (YPMH: Changing Hearts, Changing Minds, 2021) The William Templeton Foundation For Young People's Mental Health is working on closing the gap between new scientific research findings and often outdated practice or treatments by facilitating engagement between key groups and developments for the future. Exercise has been found to improve people's mental health and decrease stress so we want everyone to #GETMOVING, either alone or as a team. Interested in Participating? We would ask for a 5$ (or however much you can) donation as a sign up fee. Once you start #GETMOVING, get friends and family involved, track your kilometers and share your progress with everyone. MOVING can be anything from walking to running, cycling, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, you-name-it 20km in 2 weeks sounds like its impossible to do? Why not share the 20km and get together as a team? This way everyone can MOVE however much they feel like they are able to, and you can add up everyone’s kilometers at the end. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact koriana@vmware.com and now... #GETMOVING!

Over 400 Cisco employees, families and friends from 21 countries, are currently training to join in the adventure of hiking the famous Spanish 'Camino de Santiago' (The Way of Saint James) in June. During the period of the Camino, the combined team will walk more than 60,000 km, or 37,000 miles; equivalent to walking around the earth's equator one and a half times. The main purpose of this initiative is to raise funds for cancer support associations across the globe. We all have been impacted in some way by cancer, and in support of the efforts of "Los Caminantes", we are asking you to join us in the fight against cancer. Every amount donated to this cause will help! It can make a difference to someone facing one of the most difficult times of their life or to help make their last moments on earth count. This America's based virtual team has chosen to support charities that help to fight muliple myeloma, which is often considered a death sentence. Sponsor us and help us fund important research into cancer. On behalf of Cisco Americas, thank you!

Help us to gather resources for Dr Sonrisas patients

From June 6th-10th, over 400 Cisco employees, families, and friends from 21 countries will be hiking the Camino de Santiago in support of the fight against cancer. Our team the “WANderers” – sorry to those in IT, will be hiking 115km of the French route in the aid of Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research UK is an independent charity funding vital research for the treatment and prevention of Cancer, they also contribute to cancer policy, national strategy, and educational communication. Their many contributions to the fight against cancer are best summarised in the following timeline: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/our-progress The NHS predicts 1 in 2 people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime, and the World Health Organization accounts cancer to nearly one in six deaths worldwide. I’m certain for many of you these statistics will strike a chord personally, for myself, it took my late Grandfather Lewis Smith - one of the most fantastic men that I’ve known and who continues to be a constant inspiration to this day. Without the incredible work of charities such as Cancer Research UK, this disease is a bleak sentence, so for our time in Camino, we will walk for those researchers and carers who treat and assist our loved ones, and we will walk for those affected by cancer, especially those who no longer can. Thank you for your donation, even as little as £1 can fund anything from apparatus to the establishment of full-scale research centres. Lewis, Abdullah, Anna, and Rami.

In June, the Cisco New Zealand team is taking part in a challenge to do 3,139 push-ups in 24 days. That's 131 per day!! We are helping to shine the light on lives lost to suicide and raise awareness of mental health.

The sun is finally coming out and so we thought what better way to celebrate summer and promote good mental health than a steps challenge. The UKI Customer Success team will be challenged throughout the month of June to walk the equivalent distance around Great Britain! This will be tracked and logged by counting daily steps or time done exercising. We will be raising funds and awareness for the mental health charity 'Mind' with the hope of improving our own mental health through exercise and fresh air. Please feel free to join or share the challenge!
