I'm fundraising for...Nancy Ann

I am participating in Lustgarten's Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research to  power research. Hopefully this abhorrent disease can be conquered with early detection/diagnosis, much like my prostate cancer, along with new effective treatments.  This can only be accomplished through intensive research which requires funding. Progress is slow but sure - The past few years have seen the 5 year survival rate more than doubled from around 5% to the current 13% (source American Cancer Society).   

I used to think that this was a very rare disease but now three people close to me have succumbed to it: Barbara J, Marty D and now my beloved Nancy.  This has to stop!. 

I chose to utilize Lustgarten as they are the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research. Thanks to separate funding of administrative expenses, 100% of my fundraising and your donation funds pancreatic cancer research - research led by Lustgarten and powered by you! Together, we will raise more money for research advancements than I ever could alone.
