To those of you who are new here, welcome to my fundraising page! For those returning, thank you for continuing to support my efforts to raise money for pancreatic cancer research.
Many of you know that my sister Mary was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in April 2024, and lived only 12 more weeks. Had there been earlier detection, her opportunities for survival may have increased. But 95% of those with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed at Stages III or IV - too late for most, as it was for her.
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN) is an independent organization providing funding for critical research, clinical trials, early detection, and new treatments. In February 2026, the FDA approved a wearable medical device that works alongside chemotherapy to increase the possibility of longer survivability. There is progress! Such initiatives provide greater help and hope for patients and their families. Read more here: https://pancan.org/research/
