Help Cure Pancreatic Cancer – Call For Donations

I signed up to participate in the NYC Pancreatic Cancer Research walk on April 3rd and have created a donor page in honor of my mother and grandfather. Both were taken from this world by pancreatic cancer and frankly, it pisses me off and I want to see this disease eradicated before it can hurt anyone else.

This monstrous illness is the nation’s fourth leading cause of cancer deaths and the low survival rate for this disease has not improved in 25 years.

Research holds the key to finding better treatments and a cure. Yet only 2% of all federal cancer research funding goes to pancreatic cancer. Additional money for research is urgently needed to help change the course of this disease.

That’s why I have joined forces with The Lustgarten Foundation. As the nation’s largest private supporter of pancreatic cancer research, The Lustgarten Foundation understands that research is our best weapon in the fight.

Now, thanks to a commitment by Cablevision to underwrite the Foundation’s administrative expenses, 100% of every dollar donated to the Foundation will go directly to pancreatic cancer research.

Together, we can give patients a fighting chance.

Please click here to connect to my donor page. Any donation, large or small, will help me reach my goal of $500. And 100% of every dollar raised will go directly to pancreatic cancer research!

About the author

I’m Tommy, a writer and storyteller who works in marketing for the arts and cultural communities. I’m the author of Mabel Stanley and the Town That Was Built All Wrong, a fun and heartfelt book, and I’m currently working on a novel about self-discovery and the complexities of memory. Writing is a big part of my life, but I also enjoy creating experiences that bring people together, which is why my husband, Matt, and I co-run the online store Have Fun Spread Joy. It’s all about embracing the playful side of life and giving back along the way. I’m married to Matt, and we share our home with our two pets, Zoey (the cat) and Dixie (the dog). When I’m not writing, working on our store, or doing marketing for the arts, I like to dive into theater, something I want to get more involved with over time. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while it comes with its own set of challenges, it also gives me a unique perspective that I try to channel into everything I do. Whether it’s writing, working on creative projects, or finding ways to spread joy, I’m all about making a lasting impact in whatever I do.
