According to research, over 95% of the world&#8217;s population has health problems, with over a third having more than five ailments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">The relevance of a community for disease carriers cannot be overemphasized as it will provide a strong safe haven for advocacy. According to Geovanni Hood, Director of Awareness Challenge, &#8220;ACW is a platform that allows carriers of different diseases to come together within one community for advocacy. Asides from creating a platform for disease carriers, the platform also partners with non-profit organizations for fundraising opportunities that spread awareness to different causes.&#8221; The primary goal of the community is to make fundraising a light enjoyable experience. In Hood&rsquo;s words, &#8220;We have decided to use our platform to be the voice for various non-profit organizations because we believe we can be stronger as one community instead of divided.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">Geovanni Hood, Director at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/awarenesschallenge.org\/\">Awareness Challenge Worldwide<\/a>, also happens to be the founder of the organization. He revealed that being a carrier of sickle cell disease since birth inspired him to start the organization. Seeing how people like him suffered in silence and not having a platform to communicate their woes to society triggered the birth of Awareness Challenge Worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">Organizations that therefore choose to participate in this challenge will be provided with an external link where iron on adhesive patches to support the organization&rsquo;s cause can be ordered. Patches will be sold at $15 apiece and the participating organization will receive 50% of each purchase made with no overhead expenses. Each ribbon that will be sent out according to ACW, &lsquo;is handmade with care.&rsquo; As a way of giving back to the world, Geovanni and his team are putting disease advocacy first.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/awarenesschallenge.org_69193.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Awareness Challenge Worldwide<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Geovanni Hood, Director<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=geovanni-hood-launches-awareness-challenge-worldwide-to-advocate-for-sickle-cell-disease-carriers\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> High point<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> North Carolina<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/awarenesschallenge.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/awarenesschallenge.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"https:\/\/awarenesschallenge.org\/\" style=\"width:900px; height:400px;\"><\/object><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=geovanni-hood-launches-awareness-challenge-worldwide-to-advocate-for-sickle-cell-disease-carriers\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High Point, NC &#8211; Awareness Challenge Worldwide (ACW) is a platform that partners with non-profit organizations to advocate for different causes and diseases worldwide.
