We're fundraising for... Donna Pacholski
In July , our family will once again be walking in the Lustgarten Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk in Naperville. As most of you know we lost this angel to pancreatic cancer 10 years ago. This walk is one small thing that we can do each year to try to raise money for research advancements that are so desperately needed with this cancer.
WHY IS IT MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO SUPPORT: The current
administration released its FY26 budget, proposing a $17.5 billion or 37% cut
to the National Institutes of Health, which includes the National Cancer
Institute.
At a time when pancreatic cancer is at a pivotal point for research and
treatment breakthroughs, these cuts halt researchers’ work and, more
importantly, progress for patients and families.
We ask that you PLEASE join us in raising money for research so that other families do not have to suffer a loss like we did. 100% of funds raised goes directly to pancreatic cancer research!
