The Eve Appeal’s Post

Do you share a similar story? Some of you who get and read my print newsletter, maybe aware that my grandmother had pancreatic cancer. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with this around the middle of January. Has someone close to you, fallen victim to and lost their battle to the dreaded C? Now I’ve been lucky, I believe, to have my grandparents on both sides of the family still alive for most of my life. For a while I also had great grandparents when I was a kid. Luckily, I still have grandparents alive today. My mum battled Breast Cancer, touch wood, she has won that battle. My Aunt also beaten cancer as well. I tell you this as May is Cancer Awareness Month typically with Biggest Morning Tea events held around Australia.

In recognition of rare disease day we want you to meet the real people affected by NF2 • 3.5 million people in the UK and 30 million people across Europe have a rare disease. • Rare diseases disproportionately impact children • In the UK as a whole around 1500 people have NF2, there are about 900 of us in England We are each affected differently but are linked together by our rare disorder NF2 related Schwannomatosis (NF2). People with NF2 are affected by Brain Tumours, Spine Tumours, Optical Tumours, Deafness, Blindness, Epilepsy, vocal chord paralysis, mobility problems, chronic pain, cataracts, facial palsy ... & much more! Today we meet Aimee who is 41 and has had numerous surgeries to her brain and spine but still tries to remain positive about life with NF2. NF2 is a life long genetic condition There is no beginning, middle or ending to any of our stories, no remission or breaks. Treatment options are surgery/radiosurgery/chemotherapy which often results in loss of function of the involved nerve. NF2 IS FOR LIFE Reading real life stories about how NF2 affects people helps others to understand why we need better treatments. Please help us to make that happen by donating to research, sharing your story & raising awareness.

My teenage son recently told me about a lesson he had at school on testicular cancer. What stood out to him? A simple, catchy slogan (created by ‘It’s On The Ball’ charity): "Don’t be bonkers, check your conkers". It stuck with him—maybe because it’s fun, yet most importantly, it carries an essential message. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 35, and the good news is, it’s 96% curable when caught early. Yet, many young men don’t know how to check for signs or feel uncomfortable talking about it. That needs to change. Increasing conversations around men’s health is key. Whether it’s cancer, mental health, or other issues, making it easier for men and boys to talk openly can save lives. Catchy phrases like “check your conkers” might seem light hearted, but they spark the right kind of dialogue. It’s time to raise awareness, encourage regular self-checks, and make these conversations part of everyday life. Let’s keep it simple, relatable, and most of all—open. Need a fresh perspective.

People with NF2 are affected by Brain Tumours, Spine Tumours, Optical Tumours, Deafness, Blindness, Epilepsy, vocal chord paralysis, mobility problems, chronic pain, cataracts, facial palsy ... & much more! Today we meet Sam who is newly diagnosed. She shares with us her fears of passing NF2 onto her children as she has been diagnosed late on in life “10 years ago I was diagnosed with 2 meningioma, one was removed and then on follow up scans for the second one. I was called back to clinic last May 2023 with a view to remove the second tumour , but also offered genetic testing for nf2 ....the two meningioma recognised a risk for having NF2. Nearly a year later, I now know I have a spinal meningioma and 4 schwannoma also in my spine. I'm currently waiting to see if there is a risk that my children may have inherited NF2. As a person identified as having nf2 in my 50s, this is the aspect of the disease which affects me most....not my own situation I can't do anything about that, but the possibility I may have passed it onto my children. I'm getting support but it's incredibly hard to deal with the disease which currently I don't know what the future holds for myself or my children” NF2 is a life long genetic condition There is no beginning, middle or ending to any of our stories, no remission or breaks.

Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides. Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. It funds groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change. That's why I'm growing a Mo and running 60kms (for the 60 men lost to suicide globally, every hour) this month. If you'd like to donate, click here:

🌟 It’s Movember! 🌟 As we embrace the month of November, let’s come together to raise awareness for men’s health initiatives, especially concerning prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health.

Help us #gograyinmay for children affected by brain cancer or tumors 🎗️ WithLove receives requests for care packages benefiting children with DIPG at least 4 times a year. Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas are very aggressive brain tumors found at the base of the brain. They are comprised of the brain’s glial tissue which is made up of cells that help support and protect the brain’s neurons. Due to their location on the brain, these tumors are inoperable, as the pons area is what keeps us alive - it controls breathing, heart rate, swallowing, eyesight, balance, motor skills and consciousness. Essentially this cancer takes over their bodily functions as the tumor grows, but leaves the child mentally aware. We share all of this because it is the harsh truth. Brain tumors are the leading cause of death to children under the age of 10. We must fight more for our courageous kids and raise awareness in unison with our mission to give hope. WithLove not only wants to send comforting care packages or deliver joy during our Golden Heroes’ journeys, but we want to ensure we are uplifting the families and being a voice for their children as well. We hope you’ll join us ✨ Sponsor a Golden Hero Box ($100) today: 🩶 withlovecharity.org/donate 🩶 venmo @withlovecharity #braincancerawareness #braintumorawareness
