In these unpredictable times, it’s easy to focus on the bad news.  We at Future-Proof Solutions, like many other businesses out there, are feeling the pinch from the COVID-19 pandemic.  We’re implementing strategies to ride out the storm, while keeping our workforce motivated, busy, and employed.

But now it’s time to start thinking about the bigger picture: development of a vaccine.

Development of a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible will minimise the hurt, both health-wise and economically, to everybody.  Fewer will die, fewer will be out of work, the list goes on.  We need a vaccine as soon as possible.

That’s why our next move is to put our money where our mouth is.  The Future-Proof Solutions team has rallied together to each make a personal donation towards the University of Queensland’s COVID-19 research team, and our Director has doubled the collective amount, as an additional donation from Future-Proof Solutions.

We feel that if there’s ever a time to make a donation that counts, now is that time.  Donations are targeted specifically to COVID-19 research, with the view to fast-tracking a vaccine, and donations over $2 are tax deductible.

We know that lots of the friends of Future-Proof are doing it tough, as we all are, individually and collectively.  But we urge all of you to take control, and to do something to bring some good news.  Please give what you can.  As disastrous that this virus is, from both a health and economic perspective, it would be far more disastrous to delay the development of a vaccine for financial reasons.  The vaccine research campaign is called “Not If, When” – and we want that to be sooner rather than later.

Join us by donating here: donate to the UQ COVID-19 research team

If you’re not in a position to donate, we urge you to like and share the “Not If, When” campaign on social media – check it out on Facebook here, Twitter here, and LinkedIn here.  Use the #clapCOVID19resarchers to send your virtual applause.

And please share the message with your bosses, friends, family, neighbours – everyone.  Together we can do this.

Kind regards,
Colin Harris
