Thanks to advances in treatment,
overall U.S. cancer death rates are steadily
dropping. Unfortunately, the dismal survival rate
for pancreatic cancer has not improved in 25 years.
Cancer treatment advances are the result of
scientific research. But research follows dollars,
and in spite of being the nation’s fourth leading
cancer killer, pancreatic cancer receives only 2% of
federal research funding. Simply stated, more money
is needed to help researchers identify better
treatments and a cure for this disease.
As you may know, my family and I have been deeply
affected by pancreatic cancer. We have joined forces
with The Lustgarten Foundation and will participate
in their Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk because
they are the nation’s largest private supporter of
pancreatic cancer research. Now, thanks to
Cablevision Systems Corporation’s commitment to
underwrite the Foundation’s administrative expenses,
100% of every dollar donated to The Lustgarten
Foundation goes directly to pancreatic cancer
research.
Please support me in the Walk, and help ensure that
pancreatic cancer patients have a fighting chance.
My family and I thank you for your support.
