Last year’s NIH funding disruptions reminded us how fragile scientific progress can be, but our commitment remains unchanged: patients and families cannot afford for hope or progress to pause. Stories like Gerri’s, a 4-year survivor, remind us that sustaining the critical work of our researchers ultimately leads to better patient outcomes.
Four years ago, Gerri went in for a routine CT scan for something completely unrelated and received the kind of phone call that can change life forever. With no symptoms and no warning signs, she was suddenly facing pancreatic cancer, major surgery, and months of grueling chemotherapy. Today, Gerri is not just a survivor; she’s a thriver who shares her story so others facing this disease know there is reason to hope.
Help us reach our goal of 120 new monthly donors by June 18th, and the hope we fund today becomes the survivor stories of tomorrow. It’s never too late to accept the challenge!
