Pancreatic Cancer Action Network PSA with Dr. Randy Pausch


Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, but receives extremely little federal funding to support research efforts. Dr. Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor who has pancreatic cancer, has joined efforts with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to urge the federal government to provide critical funding to speed the cure for this horrible disease.

I have lost both my parents to this terrible disease. My father died in 10 months. My mother died within 3 weeks of her diagnosis. Please do what you can to defeat this killer.

If you want to give to the pancreatic action network - where he has a fundraising page set up (for research, all of it) you can go to firstgiving dot calm forward slash randypausch
I hope to see that fund grow and grow in honor of this man's memory and in hopes of helping others who don't even know they have pancreatic cancer yet!

This world is a better place because he walked among us. I would say that it's a waste, but really-- no, it's not. That man lived more than I have, and more than I will. And he made an incredible contribution in how he chose to go about his death.

For all those who are sick or in need of care- I am glad to say I am studying to be a NURSE. I cannot think of a better career and I am glad to walk in these shoes. Helping people is what I do and I blessed to do it. May God bless us all.

As a motherless woman due to Pacreatic cancer stealing my mother at age 57, I call Randy Pausch nothing short of a HERO! His inspirational speeches do more for me than any other piece of support. Shine on Randy, Hawaii loves you!
