بنیاد سرطان خون یا Leukaemia Foundation می‌گوید که از میان هر ۱۲ تن در آسترالیا یک تن آن‌ها در معرض خطر ابتلا به سرطان خون قرار دارد؛ اما به دلیل عدم آګاهی در مورد علایم این بیماری، اکثر موارد سرطان برای مدت طولانی تشخیص داده نمی‌شوند. این بنیاد هشدار می‌دهد که ممکن است تا سال ۲۰۳۵، سرطان‌های خون از سایر انواع سرطان پیشی بگیرند.

The Leukaemia Foundation says one in 12 people in Australia are at risk of being diagnosed with a blood cancer, but a lack of awareness about symptoms means many cancers go undiagnosed for longer periods.

Hiệp hội Bệnh Bạch cầu hay Leukaemia Foundation cho biết, cứ 12 người ở Úc thì có một người có nguy cơ được chẩn đoán mắc bệnh ung thư máu, nhưng do thiếu nhận thức về các triệu chứng, nên nhiều bệnh ung thư không được chẩn đoán trong thời gian dài hơn. Quỹ cho biết, ung thư máu có khả năng sẽ vượt qua các loại ung thư khác vào năm 2035.

For many in Australia the fear of one day being diagnosed with cancer is something they dread. But there is something perhaps even more dreadful for those diagnosed; discrimination during cancer treatment, because of who you are or where you come from. A new campaign by the Leukaemia Foundation aims to face that issue head on:

Many of us go through life believing we're the ones in control; that nothing is going to go terribly wrong if we do the right thing and look after ourselves. But sometimes, when we least expect it, life can be cruel and wildly unfair, reminding us of the fragility of our existence.   Everything was ticking along nicely for Kish, enjoying a night out with friends last October, when out of nowhere he started feeling overwhelmingly sick. Like anyone of us might, he brushed it off as food poisoning, but the reality was unfathomably more sinister… Since his diagnosis, Kish has been through hell, enduring weeks in the ICU, gruelling chemo and needing to have his bowel totally removed. Now he faces the daunting prospect of a bone marrow transplant to save his life; and despite everything he's going through, he's courageously campaigning to raise awareness and funding for the Leukaemia Foundation.  The Leukaemia Foundation encourages all Australians impacted by blood cancer, and those interested in finding out more, to go to bloodcancer.org.au where stories and resources will be shared during Blood Cancer Month in September. You can donate to Kish's appeal here: https://gofund.me/41b3d3d2 This is Kish Modi's story…

Uit nieuwe gegevens van de Leukaemia Foundation blijkt dat 8% van de Australiërs op enig moment in hun leven te maken zal krijgen met de diagnose van een vorm van bloedkanker. De stichting zegt dat het van cruciaal belang is dat mensen op de hoogte zijn van de aandoening, omdat het iedereen kan treffen.

Nuevos datos de la Fundación contra la Leucemia en Australia, Leukaemia Foundation, estiman que al ocho por ciento de los australianos se les diagnosticará cáncer en la sangre en algún momento de su vida. Esto significa que uno de cada doce australianos se verá directamente afectado por el cáncer en la sangre en las próximas décadas.

In this episode, we delve into the world of design and facilitation with our guest, Ben Crothers, who brings over 20 years of experience in the field. Ben shares his journey from being a designer to becoming a facilitator, driven by his desire to improve the often lackluster experience of design critique sessions. We explore the importance of intentional facilitation, the need for questioning the status quo, and the role of visuals in creating better moments and driving productive meetings. Join us as we uncover the power of design in shaping not just how we work, but also how we collaborate and build a better world.What You Will Learn:The spirit of design: How design seeks to create a better world and improve collaboration.The evolution of Ben's role: How he stumbled into facilitation through redesigning design critique sessions.The impact of intentional facilitation: How being intentional in meeting design can transform the way teams collaborate and achieve outcomes.Overcoming resistance to change: Encouraging individuals to question established meeting norms and create new approaches that drive productivity.The importance of visuals: How incorporating visuals, such as graphic recording and facilitation, can enhance understanding, spark creativity, and facilitate group decision-making.Empowering individuals with simple drawing skills: Exploring the benefits of drawing to communicate ideas effectively and solve problems collaboratively.About Ben Crothers:Ben has been a facilitator for over 15 years, and a designer for longer than that. He's helped teams from a broad range of organisations and domains - from Leukaemia Foundation to Parliament of Australia, from Atlassian to Westpac - to solve problems, formulate strategy, and work better together.A big part of how Ben works has to do with incorporating visuals and visualisation. He regularly does graphic recording (or scribing) at events and meetings, and likes to map conversations on the whiteboard or in online collaboration spaces. This helps to bring ideas to life, and to help everyone listen better, and make better connections throughout complex discussions.He is currently Principal Facilitator at Bright Pilots (his own facilitation consultancy), and the author of three books, including Presto Sketching: Simple Drawing for Brilliant Product Thinking and Design.Ben's books:Presto Sketching - Amazon / Booktopia / Angus & Robertson  Draw in 4 - Amazon / Booktopia / Angus & Robertson / Kobo50 Remote-Friendly Icebreakers - Website / Deluxe colour PDF version / Apple Books / Amazon / KoboWhere to find Ben online:bencrothers.combrightpilots.comOn Instagram: bencrothers / wearebrightpilotsOn Twitter: bencrothers / brightpilotsOn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bencrothers/Support the show

When you are in hard times, where do you pull your strength from? Being in hard times makes us feel we need something larger than ourselves. People pull help from rage and regret, or sometimes, people pull help from love and compassion. During a tiresome journey, where can our help come from? Today, we talk about touching cancer. Born in the United States, Matt Eby now lives in Australia fulfilling the purpose of helping others. He really gives his life for service to people that need compassion, understanding, or empathy. Matt is currently serving at The Leukaemia Foundation where he works alongside people who are living with blood cancer. Over the years, Matt also supported families in the foster care system, served as a house parent for Aboriginal teenage boys, and managed a branch for a rental car agency. He has a natural gift for supporting individuals that need a dose of humanity, which fits his college degree in behavioral health. Matt knows how to set a goal and execute. Following his curiosity, Matt goes from role to role where he feels called at that time. He believes in trial runs when transitioning into a new role or new interest. This helps him get rid of other options that don't align with where he's heading. One day, Matt found himself working with The Leukaemia Foundation and reflecting more deeply on life and purpose. He shares how the experience teaches him more about himself and humanity. Listen as Matt talks about the humanity he witnessed while working with cancer patients, and how he was able to show up for the patients he interacted with. Matt often used his personal connection to cancer to empathize with patients. He cultivated a healthy relationship with his past trauma but understood that it's not a sustainable source for supporting others. Matt shares how his faith became a new resource for him to pull from when supporting cancer patients.  Matt says that his faith became a new lens for how he views life and his role in life. Whether we are in hard times or helping someone else in their journey, we also need help to show up fully and persevere. Where does our help come from? Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Time stamps: [01:16] - Matt Eby recalls how he met Chris as a server during breakfast. [03:22] - What made Matt move to Australia?

Today is World CML (chronic myeloid leukaemia) Day. CML is a rare form of blood cancer that just over 300 Australians are diagnosed with each year. In 2019, Michael Bowen was one of them...   He was on his way to work one day when he got an urgent call to come into the emergency department. Minutes later his life changed in an instant when he was suddenly hit with the diagnosis. The man of the house, supporting a young family, Michael's first thoughts were of his baby daughter, confronted with the question of if he was going to live to be there for her.   No one could be prepared for the hardship in the years that followed. The immense mental and physical difficulty of living with cancer and the self applied pressure to get back to being the man he thought he was, sent Michael spiraling into a deep depression. But step by step and with great support from friends and family Michael slowly dragged himself out of the pit of despair that'd all but swallowed him.   Now Michael's in remission and sharing his story as an ambassador for the Leukaemia Foundation.   September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month so if someone you love is diagnosed with blood cancer, please reach out to the Leukaemia Foundation on 1800 620 420 or visit leukaemia.org.au for help.   You can also join the tens of thousands of Australians impacted by blood cancer by participating in this year's Leukaemia Foundation Light the Night event on Saturday 16 October.

Meet Sophie. After discovering she had the mutated BRCA gene, to prevent herself from getting breast cancer, Sophie made the brave decision to undergo a double mastectomy. Just one year after her surgery, Sophie received the devastating news, that she had acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Although Sophie had done all she could to lessen her chances of getting cancer, ultimately she was diagnosed with blood cancer, a type of cancer which is not preventable. Sadly, Sophie lost her fertility as a result of her treatment and is now considered to be in the early stages of menopause. She is currently in remission and discusses what helped her through her treatment journey and what helps now, as she adjusts to life post cancer. Sophie is currently hiking the Heysen Trail in South Australia - a massive 1.200km - in order to raise awareness and funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. She hopes to complete the trek on the 20th of October, the second anniversary of her stem cell transplant, also known as her rebirthday. If you would like to donate to Sophie's cause, click here, you can also follow her process on her Instagram page.

Meet Jacinta. Her daughter Daisy was just four months old when she was diagnosed with Pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), an aggressive form of blood cancer. Leading up to Daisy’s diagnosis, there were no really recognisable symptoms that would point to something so serious, which is why it was so important for Jacinta to share their story and raise awareness for not only blood cancer, but childhood cancer. After spending 240 days in hospital for intensive treatment, including four rounds of chemotherapy and a few setbacks along the way, Daisy finally completed her treatment in January this year. Jacinta shares the challenging parts of their journey, such as what it was like living on the ward away from her husband and son Jack for the greater part of nine months and the aspects that got her through, such as the strong connections she formed with other family’s living on the ward. https://www.leukaemia.org.au/stories/baby-daisy-spends-first-year-conquering-blood-cancer/ If you would like to learn more about the Leukaemia Foundation, click here.

14 - This week's pod is a talk that Hunter gave at Leukaemia Foundation Day in 2013. The talk is about some of the challenges people face when diagnosed, being treated for and recovering from cancer.
