"Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 cm (six inches) above the knee. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope. Terry’s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. With fierce determination, he ran an average of 42 kilometers (26 miles) every day for 143 days. Terry was forced to end his run-on September 1, 1980 when the cancer spread to his lungs. Driven by Terry’s courage and determination, we collaborate with and inspire people around the world to support and fundraise for bold, extraordinary research to end cancer." https://terryfox.org/our-mission/

"Action on Alzheimer's & Dementia was founded as a registered charity in 2012 (#929) by our President Elizabeth Stewart whose mother lived with Alzheimer's disease from 2004-2012 and had been diagnosed at the age of 67. At that time, there was little information available in the community and very little support for the person with dementia and their family after a diagnosis. Elizabeth's goal was to make sure that no other family living with Alzheimer's disease would have to go through the journey alone and AAD was created to be that resource for families in their time of need.

"Starlight's vision is that everyone experiences a happy childhood, because happiness matters. Serious childhood illness doesn’t just impact a child’s health. It can turn their whole life upside down, causing them to miss out on spending time with their family, building friendships, going to school and just living their life. Australia has one of the best healthcare systems in the world. But sick children and young people need more than the exceptional care that our clinicians can offer. They need the social and emotional support that lets them be a child. This is Starlight’s job. For over 30 years we have used play, social connection and creativity to support children and young people in some of their toughest times and to positively change their healthcare experience. We work alongside clinicians, wherever they go, from by the bedside in a major paediatric hospital to mobile clinics visiting remote communities.

"Our vision is a world where every child has an optimum start in life through the benefits of breastmilk. Good nutrition in the 1,000 days between conception and a child’s second birthday lays the foundation for a healthy future. Breastfeeding is the single most effective intervention to improve a baby’s health and chance for a better life. Yet despite decades of investment, breastfeeding rates are still frustratingly low: millions of women and families worldwide don’t have the support they need to provide breastmilk to their children. The Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation (FLRF), established in Switzerland in 2013, is an independent philanthropic organization revitalizing the journey from science to impact. We take a unique approach: our priority is to increase breastfeeding rates worldwide, so our focus is on helping build innovative, efficient pathways to get there.

"The Guardian Angels Trust is a small charitable trust set up by Leanne Hegan and Helen Jackson in 2004, specifically to support the needs of terminally ill children and their families. The Trust was set up in response to the growing awareness that poverty does exist within New Zealand and that families who have a palliative child are often thrust into a level of poverty as they struggle to do the hardest job that any parent will ever have to do. The Guardian Angels Trust was set up to help minimise some of the financial stressors so that families can focus on supporting their sick child to live as fully as possible for as long as possible. To that extent a commitment was made by the Trustees to raise money that would be given directly to families through practical means such as the provision of supermarket vouchers, help with household bills and incidentals that would directly benefit the wellbeing of the child and family." https://guardianangels.co.nz/

"Polska Misja Medyczna pomaga ofiarom wojen, katastrof i kataklizmów. Działania Stowarzyszenia opierają się na pracy pracowników humanitarnych oraz wolontariuszy: lekarzy, ratowników medycznych, pielęgniarzy, rehabilitantów, a także psychologów i analityków medycznych. Jesteśmy jedną z niewielu polskich organizacji pozarządowych, które udzielają pomocy medycznej. Nasze działanie ma charakter długofalowy – przynosi trwałe zmiany w społecznościach, które wspieramy. Z lekarzami z Polski prowadzimy szkolenia w szpitalach w Afryce i Azji. Na Bliskim Wschodzie pomagamy uchodźcom w obozach. Otaczamy opieką medyczną kobiety w ciąży i małe dzieci. Grupa ta jest bowiem najbardziej narażona na tragiczne skutki kryzysów humanitarnych. Stawiane sobie cele realizujemy nie tylko poprzez bezpośrednią pomoc medyczną, ale również edukację, pomoc humanitarną i rozwojową dla najbardziej poszkodowanych i potrzebujących." https://pmm.org.pl/o-nas/kim-jestesmy/
