Have you noticed you can round up your order total to the nearest dollar when you shop with us and it's all donated to our charity partners? Check it out next time you shop with us and have a read about how we selected MS Australia as our most recent partner. Thanks Rhiannon for sharing your story. Catch.com.au buying assistant Rhiannon (Rhi) lived an active life and enjoyed dancing both as a hobby and competitively until she experienced a loss of feeling in her legs in 2019. While originally attributing it to an intensive gym workout, the numbness later extended to her waist and down to her feet, sparking a series of tests and hospital visits for the then 22 year old. With her results revealing an active lesion on her spinal cord, she was sadly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system. “I was energetic and did dancing for 17 years so it came completely out of the blue,” she says. “I didn’t know much about MS before this and often thought it only came about in older people, so I was surprised to learn it was common for women in their 20s and 30s to be diagnosed.” Rhi started her treatment program last year where she now receives infusions every six months. The process kills off the B-cells in her immune system so that the effects stop multiplying, but it isn’t without other side effects. “I’ve had three treatments so far and it’s been a big adjustment as my body struggles. One of the side effects that I’ve experienced is migraines and I’ve been hospitalised for vertigo.” “I also struggle with heat sensitivity. Being overheated slows down the messages passing along nerves which have already been damaged. This causes my old symptoms to return which is the tingling and numbness in my legs. I have needed to scale back being active and have suffered what’s called MS Fatigue.” Rhi says she is grateful that her MS was caught early and the challenges have been made easier knowing she has a supportive team environment at work. “Catch has been very supportive especially when I’ve needed to take time off or work from home if my immune system is low. It’s been so important in helping my body get back on track after treatment and especially as there are days I’m in pain even if I might look okay on the outside.” To support people just like Rhi and hopefully find a cure, Catch’s charity of choice for August and September this year, was MS Australia. Catch shoppers generously donated over $30,000 to MS Australia as part of the round up function, with all the donations to go directly to the foundation. #MSAustralia #CSR

The EAST TIMOR-LESTE'S GOVERNMENT Should Be #ASHAMED & #EMBARRASSED that its own $17 Billion #Petroluem #Sovereign #Wealth #Fund won't look after the medical care of its own poor people and needs to be supported by Melbourne benefactors & Doctors who provide Pro Bono Services. At a time when Australia is going through an internal GFC like event and #Charities are going through a serious period of donor resistance & sometimes harassment by fundraising callers, does it not seem strange the East Timor Government cannot use some of its own $17 Billion 💰 to fund heart operations for the East Timorese people?

💭 Many people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are not aware of all of the benefits that they could be entitled to. We wanted to help change this so in September 2022, we set up a dedicated benefits calculator for people with CKD. 📈 We have seen an incredible 3,887 people complete their personalised benefits calculations since we launched. Staggeringly, a third of those calculations have been completed since the beginning of 2024. This highlights more than ever how much people living with CKD are struggling during the #CostofLivingCrisis and how many people need the help of charities like Kidney Care UK. ➕ Find out today if there are any benefits you may be eligible for by clicking here: https://lnkd.in/ewKG5Ryf ❗ Remember, if you are struggling, you are not alone. We are here if you need financial, practical or emotional support: https://lnkd.in/eyxR9J3w
