Julianna Marie Hambaugh, the niece of Chris Bergeson (Stapler Purchasing) and Mike Bergeson (Stapler Manufacturing), recently passed away at the age of 23 from primary peritoneal cancer, a rare cancer of the peritoneum, the tissue that protects the abdominal cavity and the outer surface of the organs in the abdomen. The Stapler Team would like to support the Bergesons by spreading awareness and raising money for organizations that support young people with cancer and conduct cancer research. Remember, any amount donated gets matched by the Intuitive Foundation so your donation is doubled!

Boxers will be participating in Catholic Charities' annual Futbol con Corazón to support unaccompanied minors. Unaccompanied children come from all over the world, but the largest numbers arrive from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico. Children flee their countries to escape persecution, abandonment, exploitation, serious deprivation, violence in their communities, or to reunite with a caregiver, often after losing one at home. Some are victims of human trafficking. Some are alone, separated from family or orphaned.They all long for safety, care, family, and a place to call home. These children are now facing adversarial removal proceedings opposed by experienced government attorneys, with only about 32% represented by counsel. It is highly unlikely that an unrepresented child will prevail in immigration court, even if he or she has a bona fide claim for protection. A recent study found that represented children have a 73% success rate in immigration court, as compared to only 15% of unrepresented children. To respond justly and humanely to the unprecedented spike in the number of children who made the treacherous journey north in the past few years, Catholic Charities began offering free legal immigration services to these children and youth. They are working to find ways to protect the rights of vulnerable unaccompanied children by supporting their housing, education, mental health, medical, and legal needs within nurturing and safe environments. It is fundamentally important to safeguard their well-being.

Cancer has touched all of us in some way - we all know a family member or friend who has been affected by this deadly disease. Having lost a grandparent, a family friend, and a close friend's mom to cancer, I want to help contribute to researchers and caregivers who selflessly help others. Join me in supporting friends who are raising money for the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life Cancer Walk. If you are based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, please do join the event. You can check out the page here and donate directly here as well: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=93373&pg=team&team_id=2457225

Did you know that 844 million people across the globe don't have access to clean water? In May 2020 I’ll be traveling to Colombia with WaterAid, an international organization dedicated to bringing clean water, toilets and hygiene assistance to the poorest and most marginalized communities across the globe. After several days trekking to the ancient, Lost City of Tayrona, I’ll be visiting and volunteering with WaterAid in indigenous, Wayuu communities in La Guajira, Colombia. Please consider making a donation to my page today. Gifts made will directly support the communities in Colombia I’ll be working with on my trip. The Indigenous Wayúu live in dispersed rural and marginalized communities with very limited access to services, where only 16% has access to water and a mere 4% to basic sanitation. Currently, it is estimated that 60% of the Wayúu population suffer from malnutrition and roughly one indigenous child under 5 has died of causes linked to malnutrition every week over the past 2 years. WaterAid is working to change this, and with your help, I’ll be making a real difference in the lives of many on my trip with WaterAid.

AIDS LIFECYCLE

Next year my friend (Sam Atter) and me (Hayden Stobbs) want to do something challenging for our 30th birthdays by pushing ourselves to the absolute limit. For the past year, we have been training to complete a 1000 mile cycling tour from Hiroshima to Tokyo in March 2020. As we only have 10 months to go, we thought this was the perfect time to try and raise some money for charity. To test ourselves before our trip to Japan, we will also be completing a smaller 250+ mile segment in the the lake district later this year. If for some reason this turns out to be too difficult for us, then we will adjust the mileage in Japan as necessary. The aim is to complete the challenge over 30 days so to do this, we are going to cycle 50 miles per day, 5 days a week, and spend the weekends resting. We will be recording as much footage as possible, with live blogs wherever we are able to do so. We will be starting from Hiroshima taking winding routes over various smaller islands and mountains before heading back to the mainland towards Tokyo. There is still a lot of planning to do! As of March 1st 2019 our training regime has began to ramp up! I (Hayden) will personally be putting in 1-2 hours per day on Zwift, with the aim to be out on the bike every other weekend for 6-8 hours. The charity we have chosen to raise money for is Cancer Research UK. Whether we like it or not Cancer touches all of our lives, so we thought we'd try and make a positive impact and help those in need a long the way. Many thanks! Sam A + Hayden S PS: Whatever we raise, Cisco will match so we can make an even bigger impact!

Support people affected and displaced with severe Cyclone Fani of the eastern Indian region Odisha

I am running in the TCS 10k run 🏃‍♂ in Bangalore on May 19th to raise funds for Isha Vidhya. I have been raising funds for almost three years now. The process of donation is very transparent. Isha Vidhya regularly sends out performance reports of the child you are linked with and also success stories of the children in various competitions. It has been a beautiful experience. ☺ Isha Vidhya schools provide high quality education in English medium. The focus is on holistic development of the child – Yoga, sports, arts, crafts, environmental awareness, are all part of the curriculum. These children belong to the poorest segment of society where they are typically the first generation in their families that is receiving education. Their parents are in most cases daily wage earners/farm labourers, tea shop owners, fishermen etc. Here’s a video about Isha Education: https://www.youtube.com/embed/b057kacdFbQ Please note : ₹ 27,500 Supports full scholarship (books, tuition fees, transportation, uniform, and noon meal) for one child for a year ₹ 16,000 Supports books and tuition fees for one child for a year ₹4200 Supports noon meal for one child for a year / general donation (any amount) or you could contribute any amount you wish to .

On May 3rd Cyclone Fani, the strongest storm to hit India in 20 years, made landfall in eastern India. The storm has impacted over 1.2 million people in India who were evacuated from low-lying areas. We invite you to join us in supporting the Cyclone Fani Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can help provide short-term and long-term response and recovery to multiple organization initiatives. Our Fund approach is informed by expert and local recommendations, based on up to date information from disaster philanthropy and nongovernmental organization networks. The Fund's strategy is similarly dynamic and responsive: as information on local communities needs becomes available, we will update the organizations in this Fund, directing donations towards specific organizations doing work in the areas most affected. We have initially selected organizations that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts, medical assistance, and providing access to clean water, food and shelter. Our approach is primarily informed by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. Photo Credit: Orrissapost.com
