What do Alex Trebek, Michael Landon, Aretha Franklin, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Steve Jobs, and Patrick Swayze all have in common? They were taken by Pancreatic Cancer. It’s ok to say the word cancer. It’s just a word. We don’t need to whisper it, but we do need to fight it. I hope you never have to experience the pain and anguish associated with cancer nor to be the caregiver of a loved one who is fighting it. If you do, you’ll be grateful that places like Pancreatic Cancer Action Network exist the same as my family needed their services in 2019. I have ~1,000 followers here on LinkedIn (I’m no Taylor Swift, but I’m happy that number for now!). If everyone donates just $5 to this annual nationwide fundraiser, that $5,000 will help fund clinical trials and patient/family education & advocacy. Now imagine if everyone donated $10 or $20. You CAN make a difference. You DO make a difference. Survival rates for Pancreatic Cancer are on the rise and it’s due largely to organizations like this one. Government funding just isn’t where it needs to be, so it’s up to the surviving family members and our friends to help where the government and institutions fall short. If you’re in South Florida and would like to join me for the 5K on April 27, that’s great too!! #cancer #cancerawareness #cancerresearch #cancerprevention #cancersucks #fyp #healthcare #fundraising #pancreaticcancer #makeadifference
