Health Empowerment Through Nutrition (UK, 1116097) Browse events

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in health. There is a gap in the nutritional status of most people today, which an apparently wholesome, balanced diet may fail to correct. This worldwide problem is severe in Africa. Even when a person consumes adequate calories and protein, if they lack one single micronutrient or a combination of vitamins and minerals, their immune system is compromised and infections take hold. HETN aims to research and apply appropriate nutritional intervention in the prevention and management of disease. Our projects include crèche feeding, nutritional support for orphans, vulnerable children and people living with AIDS and TB.

Advocacy For Neuroacanthocytosis Patients (UK, 1133182) Browse events

 Do you have a friend who once would have been running in the London Marathon, but now finds it difficult to slowly walk to the end of the street?  This is what happens to people who are often in their mid-20’s with neuroacanthocytosis.  They have the bad luck to inherit mutated genes that slowly cause the brain cells that control movement to die.  Bewilderment is their first response: “Why am I always stumbling?”  “Why do I uncontrollably bite my tongue?”  “Why can’t I live on my own any longer?”  When the diagnosis finally comes they ask “What can I do.  Who will help?” When this happened to our daughter, friends immediately asked “Can we help?” and the Advocacy for Neuroacanthocytosis Patients began.  We now are a world-wide alliance of clinicians , scientists and patients searching  together for he mechanisms that cause brain cell death.  We part of the many working on the same problem as it relates to neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s. We and they are now moving to understand the small structural anomalies that may cause brain cell death.  University clinics and labs do the work.  Our job is to engage excellent scientists with the important questions through our international symposia and to find the money to support their investigations.  The alliances success is measured by the support from American and European grant agencies and the discoveries that have been announced in academics papers.  We have 7 new applications for important grants. The Virgin team runners and your generosity will make this work run much faster.  Thanks for YOUR help!                                   www.naadvocacy.org

Facebook post 11 December 2015It was just over six weeks ago when the nurse kindly asked my visitors to step aside.She knew what was coming.She drew the curtain. We were alone. She was sensitive to the situation, as she knew this was a poignant moment. She was cool peeps too, I liked the way she let her natural hair crown her being. Plus, she never minced her words and always laughed at my foolishness. Deftly she presented this cup of tablets, the shock on my face could not be masked. I mustered a 'WTF!' She looked at me and then I understood why this moment had to be private. This was my 'welcome to chemo moment'. My biggest race had began!
