About OGLF (Our Good Living Formula)​

As we have discussed in a number of our articles, skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. In fact, primary cases of skin cancer account for more than the combined rates of new breast, lung, prostate and colon cancer diagnoses. A huge proportion of skin cancer is due to sun damage – in particular, exposure to ultraviolet radiation – which means that there are measures you can take to reduce your risk significantly. The Skin Cancer Foundation works to improve public awareness through education programs, teaching the value of prevention methods, early detection and swift treatment, aiming to reduce the incidence and ultimately the consequences of skin cancer.

Cleft lip, with or without cleft palate, is the second most common birth defect in the United States. Thankfully, it is a treatable condition and surgery can greatly improve the health and lives of children who are affected by cleft lip and cleft palate.

They have carried out hundreds of thousands of free treatments, giving them the highest standards of care and safety. They were founded in Virginia, USA, and have brought treatments to over 60 countries. You can find out more about Operation Smile here.

The Rowans Hospice provides first-rate, compassionate end of life care to terminally-ill patients on the south coast of England, as well as empathic, practical support to their carers and families. Their help has extended to many people that the OGLF team has known personally, and we believe that the service they provide is second to none. Their care includes supporting people newly diagnosed with life-limiting illnesses, providing respite services for both patients and carers, end of life care both in the hospice itself or in the home, and even bereavement support after loved ones have passed. It is a fantastic organization which we strongly support. You can find out more about the Rowans Hospice here.

Chronic kidney disease affects about 14% of the general population, and in its early stages often has no symptoms. This means that it can go undetected until it is at a much more advanced stage and therefore harder to treat. Kidney Research UK is the UK’s principal charity dedicated to researching kidney disease. It aims to improve the quality of life for people who live with kidney disease and ultimately eliminate it. Kidney Research UK invests in clinical trials, supports research scientists and provides education to raise awareness of kidney disease. You can find out more about Kidney Research UK here.
