Rise Above It (RAI) is a non-profit organization that helps young adults battling cancer. The strength in spirit of its founder, Colin O'Donoghue, guides RAI in its efforts. As a friend, teacher and coach, Colin deeply enriched the lives of others.
RAI continues this practice with the same enthusiasm and vigor he brought to every aspect of his life. Colin always believed that enjoying life and embracing a positive attitude were essential components of happiness. Using this principle as inspiration, RAI devises fun and positive events that raise money to accomplish its primary objective: to provide meaningful support to young cancer patients.
This is achieved by hosting fund-raising events designed to provide eligible recipients with additional resources. Using the proceeds from these events, RAI board members solicit cases to provide grants and personal consultation to individuals and families with immediate needs in their fight against cancer. Through financial assistance and personal attention, RAI strives to instill a positive attitude within its recipients, thus allowing them to live each day with faith and a fighting spirit.











1. Assistance can be provided in any area and it becomes utmost important for the organizations to see that the service is done well.
Let me share my views about Personal Assistance services and my experiences with them.
Usually some business concerns outsource assistance services or personal assistance services when they do not locate adequate time to concentrate in their business activities. Assistance services are provided to both top executives and clients. Assistance can be provided in any service as you may necessitate. Assistants/ Personal assistants are employed only after a thorough training to support any sort of work. He does his work autonomously. They also support disabled persons and help them to guide in their day today activities. By engaging them in our work we can meet those specific circumstances accordingly.
A personal assistant uses his own office / equipment to complete the projects or assignments taken. Companies employing them need not pay compensation like monthly salary, sick pay, vacation pay, insurance and other benefits. You only need to pay for the work that is outsourced. There is no need to train them separately as they are already trained and qualified. They are always at your service and fulfill their duty on time.
My experiences with personal assistants were good. We have outsourced some of these services to vServe solution (www.vservesolution.com) and Diksha research from India and found their services to be satisfying and reliable. The prices offered for their services are affordable and hence I gladly recommend these companies for their service.
