In 1991, Melissa lost her mentor, acting partner, favorite director, father figure, friend and boss, Michael Landon, to pancreatic cancer. And in 2009, Melissa lost her dear friend Patrick Swayze, whom she had known since the early 80s.
More than 30 years later, she is more committed than ever to honoring Michael's legacy and Patrick's memory, educating her community and fighting for the future.

"I was raised not to hate. I was raised to love and accept all, but I am telling you I hate pancreatic cancer with a passion that is volcanic. I want to wipe this disease out completely. I want it obliterated, globally.
Obviously, this is not a fight I can take on myself and that is why I am so grateful for PanCAN. I can take my anger and use it to support this extraordinary organization. PanCAN is truly a one-of-a-kind resource for people whose lives are touched by pancreatic cancer.”
